FAQs

What does 'Class 2' mean for these pants?

'Class 2' refers to the standard EN ISO 20471:2013, which specifies the requirements for high-visibility clothing. Class 2 indicates a medium level of visibility, suitable for workers who are not in the highest risk environments but still need to be easily seen.

How do I adjust the leg length?

The pants feature an extension capability of 5cm in leg length. Typically, this involves unfolding an internal hem or seam. Consult the garment's care label or internal tags for specific instructions on how to perform this adjustment.

Can I wear these pants in cold weather?

While the pants provide durability and visibility, they are not insulated. For cold weather, layering is recommended. You can wear thermal base layers underneath for warmth.

What is the material made of?

The pants are made from OEKO-TEX® approved 2-way stretch fabric, primarily polyester, offering both comfort and durability.

How many washes can I expect before the hi-vis properties degrade?

The product information indicates '60°C max 20x', suggesting the hi-vis properties are designed to last for approximately 20 wash cycles under the specified conditions. Adhering strictly to care instructions is vital.

Are these pants suitable for women?

While the description specifies 'Male' for the linked product, Helly Hansen often offers unisex or gender-specific versions of their workwear. Please check for specific women's fit options if needed.

What kind of fasteners are used on the pockets?

The pants feature a thigh pocket with a fastener closure for secure storage. The specific type of fastener (e.g., Velcro, button, zipper) is not detailed but is designed for security.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure the care instructions (especially maximum wash temperature and avoiding bleach/dry cleaning) have been strictly followed. Over-washing or improper cleaning can degrade the fluorescent properties.

Discomfort during movement

Verify that the size is correct and consider adjusting the leg length. Ensure knee pads are positioned correctly if used, or remove them if they impede comfort for tasks not requiring them.

Pocket fasteners not secure

Check the fastener for debris or damage. If the fastener is faulty, it may need professional repair or replacement.

  • High visibility for enhanced worker safety.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding work.
  • Comfortable with excellent freedom of movement.
  • Practical features like multiple pockets and knee pad access.
  • Adjustable leg length for a customized fit.

Cons

  • Requires specific washing instructions to maintain Class 2 visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear work pants. The primary setup involves adjusting the leg length if necessary. To extend the leg length by 5cm, follow the garment's internal instructions, typically involving unfolding a hem or seam. Ensure knee pads (if used) are correctly inserted into the internal pockets for optimal positioning and protection.

Compatibility: The pants are designed to meet EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 standards. They are compatible with various work boots and safety gear. The internal knee pad pockets are designed to accommodate most standard-sized knee pads.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and high-visibility properties of the fabric:

  • Machine wash in warm water (60°C maximum).
  • Do not bleach.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Do not iron.
  • Do not dry clean.
  • Wash inside out, and follow the specified number of wash cycles (20x indicated).
  • Fasten closures before washing.
