Product Overview
The Sealtex Ultra Hi-Vis Rain Trousers represent a sophisticated solution for professionals requiring high-visibility protection without compromising on comfort or mobility. These trousers are engineered from Sealtex Ultra fabric, a highly technical material that balances waterproof integrity with essential breathability. In a striking high-visibility orange, they ensure you remain conspicuous in low-light environments, while the ergonomic design allows them to be worn comfortably as an outer layer in adverse weather conditions.
Key Features
- Elasticated Waistband: The fully elasticated waist provides a flexible fit that accommodates movement and layering, ensuring the trousers remain secure throughout the working day.
- Adjustable Stud Hems: Integrated stud fasteners at the hem allow for a customisable fit around boots, preventing water ingress and reducing the risk of tripping.
- HiVistex Reflective Tape: Premium reflective tape certified to EN ISO 20471 ensures maximum visibility, reflecting light back to the source to keep you safe on-site.
- Breathable Sealtex Ultra Fabric: This specialized fabric allows moisture vapour to escape, preventing the build-up of internal dampness during physical exertion.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight 100% polyester tricot knit with a PU coating, the Sealtex Ultra fabric is designed for durability and performance. Unlike standard waterproof materials that can feel rigid, the tricot knit provides a supple feel that moves with the wearer. The PU coating serves as a robust barrier against wind and rain, while the breathable nature of the textile ensures that heat is regulated effectively.
The garment is finished to a high standard, focusing on longevity. The seams are designed to withstand the rigours of outdoor work, ensuring that the waterproof seal remains intact even after repeated use in demanding environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your clothing is an extension of your brand. These rain trousers are suitable for both print and embroidery customisation, managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, which has been refining its craft since 1976.
Embroidery is an excellent choice for adding company logos or staff names, providing a textured, professional finish that stands up well to laundering. For larger, more vibrant branding, our high-quality heat transfer printing is ideal, ensuring your company identity is clearly visible even from a distance. Our technical team ensures that any customisation maintains the garment's integrity and safety compliance.
Use Cases
These trousers are primarily designed for those working in the construction, logistics, and rail industries where high-visibility orange is often a mandatory safety requirement. They are equally suited for any outdoor professional who requires lightweight, breathable rain protection that can be quickly deployed over standard work trousers when the weather turns.

Practical Advice
As these are rain trousers designed to be worn over your primary workwear, we recommend checking the fit to ensure you have sufficient room for movement. The elasticated waistband offers versatility, but if you are wearing heavy-duty trousers underneath, ensure there is enough clearance to maintain comfort. For the best protection, ensure the stud hems are fastened snugly over your safety boots.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of these technical rain trousers is essential for ensuring they continue to provide reliable weather protection and safety visibility.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the PU coating, which would compromise the garment's waterproof capabilities and shorten its service life.
Do not use bleach under any circumstances. Harsh bleaching agents will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the high-visibility orange colour to fade, which may result in the garment no longer meeting safety standards.
Avoid tumble drying. Instead, the trousers should be drip line dried. Subjecting the fabric to the high heat of a tumble dryer can cause the Sealtex material to shrink and may cause the reflective tape to lose its adhesive properties.
Do not iron this garment. The heat from an iron will melt the PU coating and destroy the waterproof seal. Similarly, dry cleaning should be avoided as the chemical solvents can strip away the protective coating.
Please note that this garment is certified for a maximum of 25 washes. Exceeding this limit can reduce the effectiveness of the reflective tape and the high-visibility pigment, so we recommend monitoring the garment's condition regularly.
