Description
The Portwest hi-vis bib and brace is an essential garment for professionals working in high-risk environments along roads or railways. These robust work trousers combine optimal visibility with excellent protection against dirt and moisture. Thanks to the durable polycotton fabric and functional storage options, this bib and brace is specially designed for intensive daily use by road workers and railway personnel who must remain clearly visible in all conditions.
For which specific tasks is this hi-vis bib and brace suitable?
This hi-vis bib and brace is ideally suited for road works, construction projects, and work in the railway sector. The orange version complies with the strict RIS 3279 TOM standard, which is mandatory for work on and around the British railway network.
In addition, the dirt-repellent Texpel finish ensures that liquids and mud do not penetrate the fabric. This allows the reflective clothing to continue functioning optimally even under heavy, muddy working conditions, ensuring the wearer maintains high visibility.
What does the EN ISO 20471 Class 2 rating mean for this hi-vis bib and brace?
The EN ISO 20471 Class 2 rating indicates that this hi-vis bib and brace offers a medium level of protection in terms of visibility. This makes the garment suitable for work along roads where vehicles pass at moderate speeds.
The reflective striping and fluorescent fabric have been extensively tested and retain their certified performance for up to fifty washes. This guarantees long-lasting safety during daily use, provided the washing instructions are followed correctly.
With six storage pockets, including a zippered chest pocket and a double ruler pocket, this bib and brace offers plenty of storage space. Knee pad pockets and an elasticated back panel increase comfort.
