Product Overview
The Sealtex AIR Trousers represent a significant advancement in wet-weather protective equipment. Designed for those who require more than just a basic waterproof layer, these trousers are engineered from a unique, lightweight fabric that successfully balances technical protection with wearer comfort. While many waterproof garments can feel restrictive or lead to overheating, the Sealtex AIR range is specifically formulated to provide exceptional breathability alongside its windproof and waterproof capabilities.
Key Features
- Breathable Membrane: The advanced fabric allows moisture vapour to escape, ensuring you remain dry from the inside out even during strenuous physical activity.
- Fully Waterproof and Windproof: The PU-coated exterior provides a complete barrier against harsh weather conditions, keeping the elements at bay so you can focus on the task at hand.
- Lightweight Construction: By using a refined tricot knit, these trousers offer substantial protection without the cumbersome weight of traditional heavy-duty rainwear.
- Elasticated Waist: Designed for ease of movement and a secure fit, the elastication ensures the trousers stay in place regardless of your working position.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Sealtex AIR Trousers is rooted in its material composition: a 100% Polyester Tricot base with a high-performance PU coating. This combination creates a flexible garment that moves with the wearer rather than resisting them. The tricot knit provides an inherent stretch and a soft handle, while the Polyurethane (PU) coating acts as a robust shield. Unlike cheaper alternatives that may crack or peel, this well-engineered fabric is designed to withstand the rigours of a professional working environment while maintaining its protective properties over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your team presents a professional appearance, these trousers are suitable for both print and embroidery. For a traditional, high-quality finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names, providing a durable and textured look. If you require larger, more vibrant branding or safety messaging, our precision printing process is an excellent alternative. All customisation is handled at our dedicated facility in Telford by our expert team, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your branding is applied with the utmost care.
Use Cases
These trousers are an essential item for any professional working in exposed outdoor environments. They are particularly well-suited for site managers, agricultural workers, and logistics personnel who require reliable protection from the rain without sacrificing mobility. Their navy colour and clean design also make them appropriate for corporate outdoor events where a professional appearance is required despite the British weather.

Practical Advice
For the best performance, we suggest wearing these trousers as a protective outer layer over your standard work trousers. When selecting your size, consider the clothing you will be wearing underneath to ensure a comfortable fit that doesn't restrict your range of motion. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes them easy to fold and store in a vehicle or kit bag, ready for whenever the weather turns.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance waterproof and breathable characteristics of your Sealtex AIR Trousers, proper maintenance is essential. Neglecting care instructions can lead to the breakdown of the PU coating and reduced breathability.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Excessively hot water can damage the polyester fibres and weaken the bond of the waterproof coating, eventually leading to leaks.
Do not use bleach under any circumstances. Bleaching agents are highly corrosive to technical fabrics and will strip away the protective PU layer, rendering the trousers ineffective against the rain. Similarly, do not dry clean, as the harsh chemicals used in the process are incompatible with the garment's construction.
For drying, these trousers should be drip line dried only. Never use a tumble dryer, as the intense heat can melt or warp the PU coating. Likewise, do not iron the garment; the heat from an iron will cause immediate and irreparable damage to the synthetic fabric and waterproof membrane.
