FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 mean?
This certification indicates the garment meets specific standards for high visibility clothing, ensuring the wearer is conspicuous in hazardous work environments. Class 2 is a mid-level requirement, suitable for many road and general work situations.
How do I adjust the leg length?
The pants have an internal hem that can be unfolded to add approximately 5cm to the leg length. This is typically done by a tailor or seamstress if a permanent adjustment is desired, or can be carefully managed by the wearer.
Can I use any knee pads with these pants?
These pants feature internal knee pad pockets designed to accommodate standard work pant knee pads. It is recommended to use knee pads that fit snugly within the designated pocket for optimal comfort and protection.
What is the main benefit of the crotch gusset?
The crotch gusset is an extra panel of fabric inserted into the crotch area to increase the range of motion and durability of the pants. It reduces stress on the seams, allowing for greater comfort and preventing premature wear.
How many washes can the pants withstand while maintaining their safety rating?
The pants can be washed up to 20 times under the specified warm water (60°C max) conditions to maintain their EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 certification.
What materials are the pants made from?
The main shell is composed of 76% Polyester, 20% Cotton, and 4% Elastane. A secondary shell material is also used, consisting of 75% Polyester and 25% Cotton. The OEKO-TEX® certification indicates the main fabric is approved and tested for harmful substances.
Troubleshooting
Reduced visibility after washing.
Ensure washing is done within the specified temperature (60°C max) and number of washes (20x). Avoid harsh detergents or bleach which can degrade reflective properties.
Limited range of motion despite stretch fabric.
Verify that knee pads are correctly positioned within the adjustable pockets and that the leg length is set appropriately. Ensure the crotch gusset is not obstructed.
Fastener on thigh pocket not closing securely.
Check for debris or damage to the fastener. If damaged, contact customer support. Ensure the pocket contents do not prevent the fastener from closing properly.
