The Portwest hi-vis rain trousers, model ES441, offer an excellent combination of waterproof protection and high visibility for professionals who have to work outdoors in challenging weather conditions. These practical over-trousers are specifically designed to be pulled on quickly and easily over your own work trousers. This ensures the wearer stays dry and comfortable during a sudden downpour, without compromising necessary workplace safety.
Which tasks are these Portwest hi-vis rain trousers most suitable for?
These hi-vis rain trousers are ideally suited for professionals in construction, logistics, road works, and other outdoor sectors where exposure to precipitation and reduced visibility pose risks.
Thanks to the reflective striping and fluorescent fabric, the wearer remains highly visible in low-light conditions or during heavy rain showers. The trousers are designed as over-trousers, allowing them to be pulled on quickly as soon as the weather turns. This makes the model ideal for flexible use during varied daily outdoor activities.
What do the EN 343 and EN ISO 20471 standards mean for these rain trousers?
The EN 343 class 3:1 standard guarantees that these trousers provide high water resistance thanks to the taped seams and water-repellent PVC coating, while breathability is limited.
The EN ISO 20471 class 1 certification indicates that the trousers provide a basic level of high visibility, which is suitable for lower-risk situations or when used in combination with an approved hi-vis jacket. Furthermore, these reflective properties are guaranteed to perform optimally for up to 25 washes.
The elasticated back waistband and the snap-adjustable hems ensure a comfortable, snug fit that effectively blocks out penetrating moisture.
