Product Information
Full details
The Pulsar Combat Trousers are designed for adult males working in environments requiring high visibility and durability. Their key benefit is enhanced safety through reflective tape and robust construction, combined with practical comfort features. A potential caveat is that knee pads are sold separately, despite the integrated pockets. These trousers offer excellent resistance to dirt and grease thanks to a Teflon coating, feature triple stitching and reinforced stress points for longevity, and include a unique double belt loop system for added utility.

FAQs
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are sold separately. The trousers feature integrated pockets designed to hold compatible kneepads.
What certifications do these trousers meet?
These trousers meet EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and RIS-3279 (Rail Standard) certifications, ensuring high visibility and suitability for specific industrial environments.
How do I clean the trousers to maintain their visibility?
Machine wash at a moderate temperature (around 40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean.
What is the benefit of the Teflon coating?
The Teflon coating provides excellent resistance to dirt and grease, making the trousers easier to clean and maintain. It also offers water repellence in light showers.
Can I wear both a standard belt and a tool belt with these trousers?
Yes, the unique double belt loop design allows you to wear both a standard belt and a utility belt simultaneously.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is a 275gsm twill made from 80% Polyester and 20% Cotton.
What is the expected lifespan of the reflective tape?
With proper care and adherence to washing instructions, the RFX reflective tape is designed for durability. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat when ironing to preserve its reflectivity.
Troubleshooting
Reflective tape is peeling or losing reflectivity.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding washing temperature, detergent type, and avoiding harsh chemicals. Do not iron directly on the tape.
Trousers feel stiff or less water-repellent after washing.
Harsh detergents or high washing temperatures can affect the Teflon coating. Consider a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Reapplication of a fabric protector spray suitable for workwear may help restore water repellency.
Fit is uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Verify you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart. The partially elasticated waistband offers some flexibility, but ensure the waist and length measurements are appropriate for your build.
Dirt or grease is difficult to remove.
The Teflon coating aids in releasing dirt and grease. For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area with a stain remover suitable for polyester blends before washing. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and visibility of the trousers:
- Machine wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C).
- Use a mild detergent.
- Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and reflective properties.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry.
- Iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct contact with the reflective tape.
- Do not dry clean, as this may damage the Teflon coating and reflective elements.
