Designed as waterproof overtrousers with taped seams and a PVC-coated 190T polyester shell. Elasticated waistband and stud-adjustable hems allow a secure fit over work trousers.
Complete waterproof protection – with taped seams and PVC-coated 190T polyester
Taped seams seal stitch holes to block water ingress, while an internal PVC coating adds a continuous waterproof layer on the 190T polyester yarn. The fabric finish is treated to increase water resistance.
Keeps users dry during prolonged exposure to rain when worn over regular trousers, making them suitable for wet-site shifts.
Built to withstand wear – thanks to PVC coating and twin-stitched seams
The PVC coating improves abrasion and tear resistance, and twin-stitched seams reinforce joins where stress is highest. These features reduce the risk of seam failure under movement.
Holds up to repeated on-site use and physical tasks, extending usable life compared with uncoated overtrousers.
Visible and comfortable on the job – with reflective tape and adjustable fit
Reflective tape increases visibility in low light and meets recognised safety standards, while a fully elasticated waistband and stud adjustable hems enable secure layering over other clothing.
Enhances safety for early-morning or late shifts and allows a snug, comfortable fit when worn over work trousers.
