Product Information

Full details

For adult males working in environments requiring high visibility and durability, the Pulsar High Visibility Rail Spec Combat Trousers offer enhanced safety and robust construction. Their key benefit is superior visibility due to RFX reflective tape and a bright orange color, alongside significant durability from triple-stitching and Teflon coating. A potential caveat is the need to purchase knee pads separately.

FAQs

Are knee pads included with these trousers?

No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature dedicated pockets for compatible knee pads, which must be purchased separately.

What is the primary purpose of the Teflon coating?

The Teflon coating provides enhanced resistance to dirt and grease, and offers water repellence, helping to keep the wearer cleaner and drier in light conditions.

What safety standards do these trousers meet?

These trousers meet EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and RIS-3279 (Rail Standard) safety certifications for high visibility.

Can I wear both a regular belt and a tool belt with these trousers?

Yes, the trousers feature a unique double belt loop design that allows for the simultaneous use of a standard belt and a utility belt.

What material are the trousers made of?

The trousers are made from an 80% Polyester and 20% Cotton twill fabric (275gsm) with a Teflon coating.

How should I wash and care for these trousers?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on medium. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning.

What does 'double-stitched' and 'triple-stitched inseam' mean for durability?

These terms refer to the construction methods used. Double stitching involves two parallel lines of stitching, while triple stitching involves three. The triple-stitched inseam and bar tacks at stress points significantly increase the garment's strength and resistance to tearing, especially in high-wear areas.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape appears to be losing reflectivity.

Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and harsh detergents, and not overheating during ironing or tumble drying.

Teflon coating is no longer repelling water or dirt effectively.

Wash according to care instructions. Reapplication of a fabric-specific water-repellent treatment might be necessary after extended use and numerous washes.

Seams are tearing or stitching is coming undone.

Inspect for localized wear. If the tear is significant, contact customer support. For minor fraying, consider professional repair. Ensure correct sizing to avoid undue stress on seams.

Trousers feel stiff after washing.

This can sometimes happen with polyester blends. Ensure you are not using excessive detergent and try a lower heat setting for tumble drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets specific rail industry safety standards (RIS-3279).
  • Durable construction with reinforced stitching and bar tacks.
  • Teflon coating offers resistance to dirt, grease, and water.
  • High visibility with certified reflective tape.
  • Practical design with dual belt loops and functional pockets.

Cons

  • Knee pads are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • The primary color is bright orange, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences outside of workwear.
  • Teflon coating effectiveness may diminish with excessive washing or harsh detergents.
  • Limited insulation for very cold weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the package. For added protection, ensure you insert compatible knee pads into the designated kneepad pockets. These are typically standard-sized work knee pads.

Compatibility: The dual belt loop system is designed to accommodate both standard 1.5-inch belts and wider utility or tool belts.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the fabric, reflective tape, and Teflon coating:

  1. Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C.
  2. Do not bleach.
  3. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Iron on a medium heat setting.
  5. Do not dry clean.
  6. Wash with similar colours.
  7. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the performance of the Teflon coating and the reflectivity of the tape.
