The Portwest S780 hi-vis rain trousers are high-quality multi-standard work trousers that protect professionals against various workplace risks. These unlined trousers are specifically designed for wearers who need excellent visibility, flame-retardant properties, and anti-static protection during their daily activities. Thanks to the breathable and waterproof fabric, you stay dry and comfortable in all weather conditions, without heat getting trapped inside the trousers.
For which specific work environments are these Portwest hi-vis rain trousers suitable?
These hi-vis rain trousers are ideally suited for heavy industrial sectors such as petrochemistry, the utility sector, and railway construction. In these environments, professionals often work near open flames, static electricity, and splashes of liquid chemicals.
The trousers offer certified protection against these hazards. The striking color and reflective tape also ensure increased safety in poor visibility. The orange version also meets the strict RIS 3279 TOM standard, which is specifically required for the British railway sector.
What do the EN ISO 14116 and EN 343 standards mean for these hi-vis rain trousers?
The EN ISO 14116 Index 1 standard indicates that the material of the hi-vis rain trousers has flame-retardant properties, which limits the spread of flames during brief contact. The EN 343 Class 3:3 X standard guarantees the highest class of waterproofness and breathability.
This means the trousers can withstand heavy rainfall while effectively wicking away perspiration. This keeps the wearer dry and cool, which is essential during intensive physical exertion outdoors.
The trousers feature a fully elasticated waistband, convenient ankle zips for easy donning and doffing, and an ergonomic, quick-release buckle.
