Product Overview
The PW3 Hi-Vis Rain Trousers represent a sophisticated approach to foul-weather workwear, combining technical innovation with versatile design. This premium garment is engineered for professionals who require high-performance protection without sacrificing flexibility. A standout feature is the zip-off back panel, which allows the wearer to effortlessly transform the garment from a full bib and brace into a standard trouser. Constructed from durable Oxford polyester, these trousers are designed to withstand the rigours of outdoor work while ensuring you remain dry and highly visible.
Key Features
- The versatile zip-off feature allows for quick transformation between bib and brace and trouser styles, adapting to changing weather conditions or personal preference.
- Integrated top-loading kneepad pockets provide essential protection for your joints when working on hard surfaces, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
- Detachable holster pockets offer adaptable storage for tools and fixings, allowing you to streamline your profile when they are not in use.
- Secure zipped storage pockets and a dedicated rule pocket provide safe and organised housing for your essential equipment and measurement tools.
- A specialised stain-resistant finish on the outer fabric ensures the garment remains clean and maintains its high-visibility properties for longer.
Design & Performance
At the heart of these trousers is a heavy-duty 300D Oxford polyester fabric, which is double PU coated to provide a formidable barrier against heavy rain. Despite its robust exterior, the garment prioritises comfort through a breathable construction and a lightweight polyester mesh lining. This lining promotes airflow, preventing the buildup of moisture inside the trousers during periods of high physical activity.
The contemporary design follows the signature PW3 aesthetic, featuring a modern Orange and Black colour scheme. Every element, from the reinforced stitching to the high-quality zips, has been selected to ensure longevity in demanding work environments. The fabric is specifically engineered to resist abrasions, ensuring the trousers remain functional even when subjected to daily wear on site.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To enhance your professional appearance, the PW3 Hi-Vis Rain Trousers are suitable for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is an excellent choice for adding company logos or individual names, providing a durable and high-quality finish that withstands the demands of industrial use and frequent laundering.
For larger branding or high-visibility requirements, heat-seal printing offers a clean and vibrant alternative. This method is particularly effective for bold designs that need to remain flexible on the fabric. Our dedicated in-house team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
These trousers are an ideal choice for workers in the rail, road construction, and civil engineering sectors where high visibility is a mandatory safety requirement. They are also perfectly suited for utility workers and site managers who need adaptable clothing that can transition between different roles and weather conditions throughout the working day.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layering requirements of your specific role. These trousers are designed to be worn over standard work clothing, so ensuring a comfortable fit will allow for a full range of movement when climbing ladders or bending. The zip-off bib section should be securely fastened to maintain the garment's protective profile in heavy rain.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and waterproof integrity of these trousers, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Exceeding this temperature can damage the PU coating and the reflective properties of the fabric.
The garment must not be bleached, as harsh chemical agents will degrade the fluorescent dyes and reduce the garment's visibility. After washing, the trousers should be allowed to drip line dry naturally. Using a tumble dryer is not recommended as the heat can cause the technical fabric to shrink or lose its protective qualities.
Ironing and dry cleaning should be avoided to prevent melting the synthetic fibres or damaging the specialised finish. Please be aware that this garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes; beyond this point, the high-visibility components may no longer meet the required safety standards, and the garment should be replaced to ensure continued protection.
