Design & Performance
The UC807 is manufactured from 100% polyester with a specialized PU coating. This material choice ensures the garment is both resilient and lightweight, offering a substantial and sturdy feel without being cumbersome during a long shift. The polyurethane (PU) coating provides a vital showerproof finish, which is essential for maintaining professional focus when the weather turns. The design is practical and straightforward, incorporating two front pockets for convenient storage of small tools or personal items. As a CE and UKCA certified garment, these trousers adhere to the 2016/425 Category II directive, providing a verified level of personal protective equipment performance that you can rely on.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that professional branding is as important as safety. The UC807 Hi Vis Trouser is suitable for both print and embroidery customisation, allowing you to represent your business clearly. For a refined and authoritative appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names. This technique provides a hard-wearing finish that withstands the rigours of daily work. Alternatively, for larger, high-impact branding or safety text, heat-applied print is an excellent choice, ensuring your message is bold and highly visible. Our expert in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these customisation techniques since 1976, ensuring your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
These trousers are an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications. The orange version is specifically required for railway workers across the UK network. They are also perfectly suited for construction sites, warehouse staff working in loading bays, roadside recovery operators, and any professional requiring a reliable layer of visibility. Their design as an over-trouser makes them easy to put on and remove as weather conditions change throughout the day.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please consider that these hi-vis trousers are designed to be worn over your existing work trousers. We recommend checking your measurements carefully to ensure there is enough room for layering without restricting your movement. The fully elasticated waist provides flexibility, but a comfortable fit is paramount for productivity. Always ensure the adjustable ankles are properly secured over your footwear to keep water out and maintain a professional appearance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and waterproof integrity of the UC807, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions correctly. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the PU coating and may degrade the reflective tape, which is critical for your safety in low-light conditions.
Please note that this garment is certified for up to 25 wash cycles. Exceeding this limit can result in the high-visibility properties falling below the required safety standards, meaning the garment should be replaced to ensure continued protection. Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive cleaning agents, as these chemicals can break down the polyester fibres and dull the fluorescent colour. For the best results and to preserve the technical fabric, allow the trousers to air dry naturally rather than using a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can cause the protective coating to peel.
