The Sealtex™ Classic fabric is primarily designed for waterproofing. While it offers some level of breathability, it may not be ideal for very high-intensity activities where significant sweat is generated. For extreme exertion, consider products with enhanced breathability ratings.
These trousers have a generous fit for comfort and to allow layering. Refer to the Portwest size chart and consider your waist measurement and the length needed. If you are between sizes, you may prefer to size down for a snugger fit or size up for maximum layering room.
EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against foul weather. Class 3:1 indicates the highest level of water penetration resistance (Class 3) and the lowest level of water vapour resistance (Class 1). WP 5,000mm signifies a water resistance rating of 5,000mm.
While functional, their design is optimized for workwear. They are most suitable for outdoor activities or specific work environments requiring robust weather protection.
With proper care and maintenance as per the instructions, the waterproof properties should last for a considerable time. Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat drying, and excessive abrasion, which can degrade the PU coating over time.
Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to some degree but may eventually soak through. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water, even under pressure, and is typically combined with sealed seams to prevent any water ingress.
Ensure all seams are intact. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may be compromised; consider replacement. Check if the inner layer is damp due to sweat; ensure adequate ventilation or lighter base layers if necessary.
Avoid high heat drying, as this can degrade elastic. Hand wash gently and air dry to preserve elasticity. If severely stretched, repair or replacement might be needed.
Ensure the fabric is aligned correctly before fastening. If studs are stiff, gently flex them or clean around the stud area. Do not force the studs.
Setup: The Portwest Sealtex Classic Trousers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: These trousers are designed as an outer layer and are compatible with most standard workwear and boots. Their generous fit allows them to be worn over existing trousers.
Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof properties and longevity of the trousers:
