The Portwest waterproof overtrousers, model S481, are an essential protective layer for professionals working outdoors. These functional rain trousers are specifically designed to be worn comfortably over your regular work trousers during wet and cold working days. Thanks to the durable Oxford polyester, this garment provides a reliable barrier against precipitation and wind, allowing you to continue your work dry and comfortable in all conditions.
For which tasks are these waterproof Portwest trousers most suitable?
These protective trousers are ideally suited for outdoor work in construction, logistics, and infrastructure where exposure to rain and wind is a daily occurrence. Thanks to the generous fit, you can quickly pull the trousers on over your regular clothing as soon as the weather turns.
The reflective taping on the legs significantly increases your visibility during work in twilight or poor visibility conditions, which directly improves workplace safety.
What do the EN 343 and EN 17353 standards mean for these rain trousers?
