Portwest Sealtex Classic Waterproof Trousers - Blue - 50

These trousers offer a waterproof rating of WP 5,000mm and meet EN 343 Class 3:1 standards. While they provide excellent water resistance, their breathability is moderate, typical for this type of protective over-trouser. For activities involving very high exertion, consider garments with higher breathability ratings.

Yes, the waterproof and wind-resistant nature of the Sealtex Classic fabric makes them suitable for cold weather. The generous fit allows you to wear warm layers underneath.

This indicates that the water-repellent finish applied to the fabric does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are considered more environmentally friendly. 'Splash Eco' suggests a focus on eco-conscious water repellency.

Regular cleaning according to the care instructions helps maintain the fabric's performance. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, and dry cleaning, as these can damage the PU coating and reduce waterproofness.

Yes, the trousers feature welded seams, which means the seams are sealed with a waterproof tape or adhesive, preventing water penetration at these critical points.

Ensure the garment is not being worn for prolonged periods in extremely high humidity or strenuous activity without adequate ventilation. Check that all seams and hems are intact and that the fabric has not been compromised. Clean the trousers as per care instructions.

Inspect the fabric for any signs of damage, cuts, or abrasions. Ensure the PU coating is intact. If the fabric is damaged, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Clean the garment thoroughly.

Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying, as this can degrade elastic. Follow the recommended care instructions strictly, especially regarding temperature and drying methods.

Check for any debris or damage around the stud fasteners. Clean them gently. If a fastener is damaged, it may need repair or replacement by a professional if possible, or the trousers may need to be replaced.
