The Portwest RT61 high-vis trousers are high-quality hi-vis trousers specially designed for professionals who need optimal protection and visibility during their work. These trousers are ideally suited for road workers and personnel in the rail sector who have to perform in challenging weather conditions. Thanks to the fluorescent fabric and reflective striping, the wearer remains highly visible to passing traffic and colleagues on the work floor under all lighting conditions.
For which specific work environments are these Portwest hi-vis trousers suitable?
These hi-vis trousers are extremely suitable for railway workers, road workers, and professionals in construction or logistics who work outdoors.
The orange version fully complies with the strict RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2 standard, which is specifically prescribed for the British railway industry. Thanks to the robust, breathable, and windproof properties, the trousers offer excellent protection during heavy physical labor in open, unsheltered outdoor environments where exposure to precipitation and wind occurs daily.
What do the EN ISO 20471 and EN 343 standards mean for these hi-vis trousers?
The EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standard guarantees that these hi-vis trousers offer a high level of visibility, which is essential for high-risk work environments.
The EN 343 Class 4:3 X certification indicates that the trousers offer superior waterproofing of 10,000 mm, combined with an excellent breathability of 10,000g/m²/24h. This means that rainwater is effectively kept out by the taped seams, while perspiration can easily escape from the inside for a dry working climate.
For optimal comfort, the trousers are equipped with a fully elasticated waistband and convenient side zip openings to facilitate quick donning and doffing.
