FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?
While these trousers offer windproof and waterproof protection, they are designed primarily for visibility and weather resistance. For extreme cold, layering with thermal undergarments is recommended.
Can I wear these as standalone trousers?
These trousers are designed to be worn over other clothing for maximum protection and to meet high-visibility standards. Wearing them alone may not provide adequate insulation or fit.
What is the waterproof rating?
The trousers are made with waterproof fabric rated to 6000mm.
What does EN343 3:2 mean?
EN343 is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. Class 3:2 indicates the highest level of protection for water permeability and a good level of protection for water vapor resistance.
How do I clean the trousers to maintain their visibility?
Machine wash at 40°C. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting. Regular cleaning with the recommended method helps maintain the integrity of the high-visibility properties.
Are matching jackets available?
Yes, matching Air Reflex Jackets are available separately to provide full-body protection and visibility.
What sizes are available?
The Air Reflex Trousers are available in a range of sizes including Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, 2XL, and 3XL.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive when worn over other clothing
Ensure you are selecting the correct size. The Air Reflex Trousers are designed to be worn as an outer layer, so consider sizing up if you typically wear thick undergarments.
Water appears to be leaking through the fabric
Check that all seams are properly welded and that there are no tears or punctures in the fabric. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may be compromised. Refer to care instructions for optimal maintenance.
Reduced visibility of the trousers
Ensure the trousers are clean. Dirt and grime can obscure the high-visibility color and reflective properties. Follow the care instructions for washing.
