Product Overview
The ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Rain Trouser is an indispensable component of any outdoor work uniform, providing a reliable barrier against the elements without the unnecessary bulk of heavy traditional waterproofs. Engineered for practicality, these trousers are designed to be worn over the wearer's existing trousers, offering immediate protection the moment the weather turns. The vibrant orange colour ensures that safety and visibility remain a priority, making them a functional choice for demanding environments where being seen is as important as staying dry.
Key Features
Waterproof PVC Coating: The 100% polyester fabric features a specialised PVC coating that repels water effectively, ensuring you remain dry during heavy rain showers.
Lightweight Design: The fabric is specifically chosen for its lightweight properties, allowing for effortless layering over standard work trousers without restricting movement or causing fatigue.
High-Visibility Colouring: Finished in a high-visibility orange, these trousers are designed to meet safety requirements and maintain visibility in low-light or high-traffic conditions.
Generous Fit: The cut is intentionally designed to allow for easy donning and doffing over work boots and standard trousers, ensuring a practical experience for the busy professional.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a 190T plain weave polyester, the material choice for these trousers prioritises both durability and flexibility. The plain weave provides a smooth surface that resists snags, while the PVC coating serves as a robust waterproof shield. Unlike heavier garments, the lightweight nature of this fabric ensures that heat build-up is minimised when worn over other layers. The performance is focused on utility; these are trousers that can be folded down easily when not in use and deployed quickly when required, making them an essential part of a versatile workwear kit.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size for the ES1 Rain Trouser, it is important to remember that they are designed as an overgarment. We suggest choosing your standard size, as the design already incorporates the necessary room for your primary work trousers underneath. However, if you typically wear bulky utility trousers with multiple pockets, you may wish to size up to ensure maximum comfort and ease of movement during active tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the waterproof efficiency and the vibrancy of the high-visibility orange, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 40°C using a mild process. Using high temperatures or aggressive cycles can degrade the PVC coating, leading to a loss of waterproof capabilities over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will chemically damage the polyester fibres and cause the high-visibility pigment to fade, which may compromise safety compliance. These trousers should not be tumble dried or ironed; heat from these appliances can melt the waterproof barrier. Instead, allow the garment to drip line dry naturally. Please note that the high-visibility performance is rated for up to 25 washes, after which the garment's visibility should be carefully monitored to ensure it still meets safety requirements.
