FAQs

What does 'Arc 2' rating mean?

An Arc 2 rating indicates the trousers provide a moderate level of protection against electric arc flashes, with an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) of 8 cal/cm². This means they can withstand a certain amount of thermal energy from an arc flash before igniting.

Are these trousers suitable for everyday wear?

No, these trousers are specialized safety garments designed for environments with specific flame and arc flash risks. They are not intended for casual or general work use.

How often should I wash these trousers?

Wash as needed, following the care label instructions. Frequent washing can degrade FR properties over time, so wash only when necessary and use appropriate detergents.

What is the RIS-3279-TOM certification?

This is a specific certification required for high-visibility clothing used in the UK railway industry, ensuring adequate visibility and safety for personnel working on or near railway lines.

Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?

While designed with a 290gsm fabric for a balance of durability and comfort, they are inherently designed for protection. For extremely hot conditions, consider layering appropriately or using alternative FR cooling garments if available and suitable for the hazard level.

What type of detergents should I use?

It is recommended to use non-ionic, soap-based detergents or specialized FR laundry detergents. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and detergents containing chlorine or low-temperature additives, as these can degrade the FR properties.

Do these trousers come with kneepads?

The trousers feature kneepad pockets designed to hold protective inserts. Kneepads are typically sold separately; please check the product packaging or listing for details.

Troubleshooting

Reduced Visibility

Ensure the Hi-Vis Orange color is clean and free from excessive dirt or grease. Follow care instructions for optimal fabric brightness.

Fabric feels stiff or less flexible

This can sometimes occur after washing. Ensure you are using appropriate detergents and avoiding harsh chemicals. Natural softening may occur with wear.

Zipper or button malfunction

Inspect for debris. The ThermSAFE components are durable but should be treated with care. If damaged, professional repair may be needed.

Kneepad pockets not fitting standard kneepads

These pockets are designed for specific types of kneepads. Check compatibility with your kneepads or consider purchasing compatible inserts.

Cons

  • Specialized garment not suitable for general use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trousers are designed for immediate use without specific setup. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and protection. Adjustments are typically not required.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

To maintain the flame-resistant properties and integrity of the fabric:

  • Wash according to manufacturer instructions, typically on a low-temperature cycle.
  • Do NOT use bleach or any chlorine-based products.
  • Do NOT boil the garment.
  • Avoid soap-based washing detergents; use specialized FR laundry detergents if possible.
