The Portwest RT46 hi-vis work trousers are specially designed railway combat trousers that provide maximum safety and functionality for professionals in high-risk work environments. These trousers were specifically developed for railway workers and road construction workers who need to rely on optimal visibility during their daily tasks along tracks or roads. Thanks to the robust materials and striking color, these trousers are the ideal choice for demanding conditions.
For which specific working conditions are these railway combat trousers certified?
These work trousers are certified according to the strict EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standard, which means the trousers provide a high level of visibility through reflective striping and fluorescent fabric.
In addition, the orange version meets the specific RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2 standard for the British railway industry. This makes the trousers exceptionally suitable for railway employees, road workers, and other professionals who work in the vicinity of moving traffic or at active construction sites where extreme visibility is required to ensure safety.
What protective properties does the fabric of these hi-vis work trousers offer?
The trousers are made of a durable polycotton fabric treated with a high-quality, stain-resistant Texpel Stain Eco finish.
This special coating ensures that water, oil, and stubborn dirt are effectively repelled, keeping the trousers clean for longer and ensuring that the reflective properties remain optimal. Furthermore, the fabric blocks no less than 98 percent of harmful UV radiation with a UPF 40+ rating, offering extra protection during long working days in direct sunlight.
With a semi-elasticated waistband, knee pad pockets, and ten convenient storage pockets, including a phone pocket and ruler pocket, these trousers offer optimal comfort and ample storage space.
