The Portwest RWS hi-vis bib and brace is specifically designed for professionals working in the rail sector and road construction. This robust work trouser combines excellent visibility with high-quality protection during high-risk tasks along the road or tracks. Thanks to the durable polyester-cotton blend, the bib and brace offers long-lasting protection and a comfortable fit for daily, intensive use under demanding working conditions.
For which specific working conditions is this RWS hi-vis bib and brace certified?
This bib and brace meets the strict EN ISO 20471 class 2 standard, which means that the garment offers a high level of visibility in daylight, twilight, and in the dark. The orange version also meets the RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2 standard, which is specifically required for the British rail industry.
The reflective tape and fluorescent fabric ensure you stand out optimally during road works and railway maintenance, even after fifty industrial washes.
What functional benefits does the dirt-repellent Texpel finish offer on this hi-vis bib and brace?
The bib and brace is equipped with a special Texpel Stain Eco finish that effectively repels water, oil, and stubborn dirt. This eco-friendly barrier prevents stains from penetrating deep into the fabric fibers, ensuring that the fluorescent color and reflective properties are maintained for longer.
As a result, the clothing retains a professional appearance and keeps its certified safety class, even when working in muddy or oily environments.
