The Portwest EV402 hi-vis trousers are an advanced and protective pair of work trousers specifically designed for professionals working in extreme weather conditions. These trousers combine excellent visibility with high-quality protection against both rain and intense cold. Thanks to the use of innovative materials, the wearer stays warm, dry, and highly visible during tasks at high-risk locations where safety clothing is required.
For which working conditions are these Portwest hi-vis trousers suitable?
These hi-vis trousers are ideally suited for heavy-duty outdoor work in extremely cold and wet environments, such as road construction, logistics, and offshore industries.
Thanks to the EN 342 certification, the trousers offer active protection against cold temperatures down to -50°C. The lightweight Insulatex Pro lining effectively retains body heat without adding extra bulk. Additionally, the EN 343 class 4:1 certification ensures excellent waterproofness during heavy rainfall, while the mechanical stretch fabric guarantees the necessary freedom of movement during physically intensive work.
What does the EN ISO 20471 class 2 rating mean for these hi-vis trousers?
The EN ISO 20471 class 2 rating means that these hi-vis trousers offer an intermediate level of visibility, which is mandatory for road work with lower traffic speeds.
The reflective tape and fluorescent fabric ensure that the wearer stands out well both during the day and in the dark. For railway work, the orange version also meets the RIS 3279 TOM standard. This makes this model a safe choice for locations where vehicles pass by and high visibility of the body is crucial.
The trousers are equipped with CorePro armor reinforcement, laser-cut ventilation holes, convenient ankle zips, and various lockable pockets for secure storage.
