FAQs

What is the RIS-3279 standard?

RIS-3279 is a specific standard for high-visibility clothing required for personnel working on or near Network Rail infrastructure in the UK. It ensures a specific shade of orange for maximum visibility.

Are knee pads included with these trousers?

No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature pockets designed to hold standard knee pads, which must be purchased separately.

What material are the trousers made of?

The trousers are made from a durable 275gsm fabric consisting of 80% Polyester and 20% Cotton twill, treated with a Teflon® coating.

How do I wash and care for these trousers?

You can machine wash them at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.

What EN standards do these trousers meet?

These trousers meet EN ISO 20471 Class 2 for high-visibility clothing and RIS-3279 for rail safety.

Can I wear these in light rain?

Yes, the Teflon® coating increases resistance to light showers, offering some protection against moisture.

What sizes are available?

These trousers are available in various adult male waist sizes, such as 30, 32, 34, 38, 42, 44, and 46 UK waist sizes.

Troubleshooting

Trousers not as visible as expected.

Ensure the trousers are clean. Dirt and grime can obscure the reflective properties. Check that the garment is the correct size and fits properly without being too tight or too loose, as this can affect visibility.

Stitching is coming undone.

Inspect the specific area of damage. For minor fraying, temporary fabric glue might suffice for a short period. For significant issues, especially on seams, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

Teflon® coating seems less effective.

The coating's effectiveness can diminish over time and with excessive washing. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing to preserve the coating for as long as possible. Reapplication of specialized fabric protectors might be considered for extended performance, though not officially supported.

Waistband feels too tight or loose.

The waistband is partially elasticated. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size based on the provided sizing chart. For minor adjustments, a belt can be used in conjunction with the belt loops.
