Snickers 8243 Hi-Vis PU Rain Trousers, Class 2 - Orange

These trousers are primarily designed for waterproofing. While they can be layered over warm clothing for colder conditions, they do not provide insulation themselves.

EN 343 relates to the garment's protection against precipitation, wind, and low temperatures. EN 471 relates to high-visibility protective clothing, ensuring the wearer is seen in hazardous situations.

While the trousers are waterproof and comfortable for movement, their primary design is for work environments. The fit and reflective properties are optimized for visibility in work settings rather than cycling-specific features.

To maintain the effectiveness of the reflective tapes, avoid harsh detergents, high heat in washing and drying, and dry cleaning. Gentle washing and air drying when possible will help preserve them.

They are made from a light and smooth waterproof Polyurethane-coated 100% Polyester tricot, weighing 220 g/m².

Yes, they feature two large front pockets for convenient storage.

Yes, the design is unisex, suitable for both men and women working in environments requiring high-visibility rain protection.

Check that all seams are properly sealed and that there are no tears or holes in the fabric. Ensure the ankle adjustments are tightened correctly to prevent water ingress.

This can happen with excessive heat or harsh cleaning. Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If damage is significant, consider replacing the trousers for safety.

While there are hook and loop adjustments at the ankles, the elastic waist provides the primary fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. Small adjustments can be made if the elastic has some flex.

New PU-coated fabrics can sometimes feel stiff. This should improve with gentle washing and regular use. Avoid over-drying, which can exacerbate stiffness.
