Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Breathable Rain Trousers are a refined solution for professionals who require high-visibility protection without the discomfort of heat retention often associated with waterproof gear. Crafted from a high-performance 300D Oxford weave polyester, these trousers are designed to withstand significant environmental stress while remaining breathable enough for active use throughout the working day. The inclusion of a double PU coating ensures that water is repelled effectively, while the breathable nature of the fabric allows internal moisture to escape, preventing the unpleasant dampness often found in lesser waterproof garments.
Key Features
High-Performance 300D Oxford Weave: The heavy-duty polyester construction provides exceptional durability and resistance to abrasions, ensuring the trousers last in demanding environments.
Waterproof and Breathable Fabric: This specialized material keeps you dry from the rain while allowing perspiration to vent, maintaining a comfortable internal climate.
Stain-Resistant Finish: The fabric is treated to repel oil and dirt, which is essential for maintaining the high-visibility properties of the yellow hue over time.
Lower Leg Zips with Plackets: These allow for easy fitting over large work boots, while the protective plackets prevent water ingress through the zip teeth.
Double PU Coating: This additional layer enhances the waterproof barrier, providing peace of mind during prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Design & Performance
The engineering of these trousers focuses on the 300D Oxford weave, a fabric known for its strength and professional appearance. By utilizing a 100% polyester composition with a double PU coating, the garment achieves a high level of water resistance. Despite its robust nature, the fabric is surprisingly lightweight, ensuring it does not become a burden when worn over primary work trousers. The stain-resistant finish is not merely an aesthetic choice; it is a functional requirement that prevents the accumulation of grime that could otherwise obscure the high-visibility yellow, ensuring you remain compliant with safety standards on-site.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For businesses looking to reinforce their corporate identity, these rain trousers are suitable for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the preferred choice for smaller, intricate company logos or individual names, providing a textured, premium finish that conveys a sense of established professionalism. For larger, high-impact branding, our printing services offer a bold and clear result that is easily visible from a distance. Our expert team in Telford, with experience dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure the integrity of the garment's waterproof properties is maintained during the application process.
Use Cases
These trousers are an essential item for anyone working in outdoor sectors such as construction, logistics, or roadside maintenance. They are particularly effective for workers who transition frequently between high-intensity activity and stationary observation in wet weather, as the breathable fabric manages heat fluctuations effectively. They are designed to be worn as an outer shell over standard workwear, providing an immediate barrier against the elements.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please consider that these rain trousers are intended to be worn over your existing work trousers. We recommend checking your measurements carefully to ensure there is enough room for movement. If you are frequently layering over heavy-duty denim or thermal liners, you may find a slightly more generous fit beneficial for ease of movement when climbing or kneeling.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of waterproof and breathable fabrics is essential for long-term performance. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. High-temperature washes can degrade the PU coating and damage the reflective tape, eventually compromising the garment's safety rating.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Chlorine-based cleaners will strip the hi-vis pigments and weaken the polyester fibres, leading to premature failure of the fabric. Similarly, these trousers should not be tumble dried, as the intense heat can melt or distort the waterproof membrane. Instead, they should be hung to drip dry on a line, allowing them to regain their shape naturally.
Do not iron these trousers. The direct heat of an iron will cause permanent damage to the PU coating and the synthetic fabric. Furthermore, avoid dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved are too harsh for the stain-resistant finish. Finally, please note that the garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes; beyond this point, the reflective properties may diminish below the required safety thresholds.
