FAQs

Are knee pads included with the trousers?

No, knee pads are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the trousers.

What do the rail safety standards mean?

The RIS-3279 certification indicates that these trousers meet the specific high-visibility requirements for personnel working on or near railway lines in the UK.

How do I clean the trousers to maintain visibility?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and iron on a low setting. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning, as these can damage the fabric and reflective properties.

Can I wear both a regular belt and a tool belt?

Yes, the unique double belt loop design allows for the simultaneous use of a standard belt and a utility or tool belt.

Are these trousers waterproof?

The trousers have a Teflon coating that provides water repellence in light showers and resistance to grease. They are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What material are the trousers made of?

They are made from a 275gsm Polyester/Cotton twill blend (80% Polyester, 20% Cotton).

What is the visibility class of these trousers?

These trousers are certified EN ISO 20471 Class 2.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure you are following care instructions precisely, especially regarding avoiding fabric softeners and using low heat for drying and ironing. Over time, high-vis properties may naturally degrade with extensive wear and washing.

Teflon coating seems less effective

The Teflon coating provides resistance to dirt and light water repellency. It is not a fully waterproof treatment. For heavy rain, consider additional waterproof gear. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can sometimes obscure the coating's performance.

Seams feel weak or are tearing

While reinforced, extreme stress can still damage seams. Check that bar tacks at stress points are intact. If seams are failing prematurely, contact customer support with proof of purchase, as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Fit is uncomfortable

The trousers feature a partially elasticated waistband for improved comfort. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. If the fit is still an issue, consider wearing a belt or utility belt through the double loops for better support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear. Ensure you have purchased compatible knee pads separately if required for your work, and insert them into the designated knee pad pockets.

Compatibility: The double belt loop system is designed to accommodate both standard belts and utility belts up to a certain width. The trouser material is a 275gsm Polyester/Cotton twill blend.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and visibility of the trousers:

  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 low heat setting.
  5. Do not dry clean.
  6. Wash dark colours separately.
  7. Wash and rinse with fasteners closed.
  8. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the water repellency and reflective properties.
