FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 mean?
This certification indicates that the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing, ensuring it is sufficiently conspicuous for safety in environments with moderate risks and traffic.
Can I adjust the length of the pants?
Yes, the legs can be optionally lengthened by 5cm. This is typically achieved through a hem adjustment or an internal fold mechanism, allowing for a customized fit.
Are knee pads included with the pants?
No, knee pads are not included. The pants feature pockets designed to accommodate compatible knee pads, which must be purchased separately.
What is the best way to wash these pants?
Machine wash in warm water up to 60°C, a maximum of 20 times. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric and reflective properties.
What is the material of the pants?
The description indicates a blend, potentially including cotton, designed for durability and mobility, with high-visibility fabric.
How many times can I wash these pants?
The care instructions recommend a maximum of 20 washes to maintain the garment's performance and high-visibility features.
Are these pants suitable for all types of construction work?
These pants are suitable for general construction work requiring Class 2 visibility. For higher-risk environments, a Class 3 garment might be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Visibility appears reduced after washing
Ensure care instructions are strictly followed. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive washing cycles, as these can degrade the reflective material over time.
Pockets feel tight or difficult to access
Ensure you are using the correct size pants. The pockets are designed for specific tools; try storing less bulky items or ensuring tools are placed correctly within the pocket.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Adjust the positioning within the internal pockets to find a secure fit. Ensure the knee pads themselves are the correct size and type for work pants.
Fabric feels stiff
This can be normal for new, durable workwear. It may soften slightly with a few washes, following the recommended care instructions. Avoid over-drying, which can exacerbate stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
