FAQs

What does Class 2 certification mean for visibility?

Class 2 certification indicates that the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing, ensuring a minimum level of background and retroreflective material to make the wearer conspicuous in potentially hazardous work environments.

Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?

These are shell pants designed primarily for rain protection and visibility. For cold weather, layering with thermal base layers and mid-layers is recommended for insulation.

Can I wear these over my regular work pants?

Yes, these are designed as over-pants or shell pants, meant to be worn over other workwear to provide water protection and enhance visibility.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The pants feature an elastic waistband for comfort. For a more precise fit or if you experience slippage, consider using compatible suspenders like the 79550 HH WW SUSPENDERS 2.0.

What is the purpose of the knee-high zipper?

The knee-high zipper, combined with a storm flap and fastener closure, allows for easy on and off without having to remove your work boots, while also providing a secure seal against water entry.

What are the washing limitations?

The pants can be machine washed at a maximum of 40°C, but should not be washed more than 20 times to preserve the fabric's performance and reflective elements.

Can I use bleach or iron these pants?

No, bleach should not be used, and the pants should not be ironed. They can be tumble dried on low heat.

Troubleshooting

Pants not providing adequate water protection

Ensure all zippers and closures are fully fastened. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric and seams. Follow care instructions to maintain water-repellent properties.

Elastic waistband feels too loose or too tight

While the waistband is elastic, consider using the compatible 79550 HH WW SUSPENDERS 2.0 for a more secure and adjustable fit.

Reflective stripes appear damaged

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective stripes. If damage is significant, it may affect visibility and safety.
