The Portwest RT31 hi-vis rain trousers are high-quality, functional hi-vis rain trousers specifically designed for professionals working in high-risk environments. These trousers offer excellent protection against poor weather conditions and ensure you remain highly visible during your daily work. Thanks to the robust materials and certified reflective striping, this model is perfectly suited for intensive outdoor use in the railway and road construction sectors.
For which specific tasks and sectors are these hi-vis rain trousers most suitable?
These hi-vis rain trousers are ideally suited for employees in the railway and road sectors. The orange version fully complies with the strict RIS 3279-TOM standard, which is specifically required for working safely along the tracks.
In addition, the trousers are certified according to the EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standard for high visibility. This makes the garment indispensable for road workers, traffic controllers, and other professionals who require maximum visual prominence while working near moving traffic or on active construction sites.
What do the EN 343 standard and the waterproof properties of these hi-vis rain trousers mean?
The trousers comply with the EN 343 Class 3:1 standard, which guarantees excellent waterproofness up to a water column of 15,000 millimetres. The taped seams prevent water from penetrating through the stitching.
The exterior has been treated with an eco-friendly, water-repellent coating that causes raindrops to bead directly off the fabric. This keeps the wearer warm and dry during heavy rain showers, while the fabric retains its breathable and protective properties, even after fifty washes in accordance with strict test guidelines.
For optimal comfort, the trousers feature an elasticated waistband and convenient side zip openings for quick putting on and taking off.
