Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing UC807 Hi-Viz Trouser is a foundational piece of safety equipment designed for professionals who require high-visibility protection without compromising on practical comfort. Engineered from high-grade 300 Denier polyester with a PU coating, these trousers are built to withstand the rigours of site work while keeping the wearer dry and visible. As a certified piece of safety apparel, it meets several stringent UK and European standards, ensuring that your team remains compliant and protected in hazardous environments.
Key Features
- EN ISO 20471 Class 1 Approval: This certification ensures that the garment provides a recognised level of visibility, making it suitable for environments where being seen is a safety priority.
- GO/RT 3279 Issue 8 (Orange Only): Specifically meeting the railway industry standards, these trousers are indispensable for trackside operations where safety regulations are paramount.
- 300 Denier PU Coated Fabric: This substantial material offers a showerproof barrier, protecting the wearer from the elements while maintaining high resistance to abrasions and tears.
- Fully Elasticated Waist: Designed for ease of movement and a secure fit, the elasticated waist ensures comfort throughout long shifts and accommodates various layers underneath.
- Adjustable Ankle: The inclusion of adjustable ankles allows for a tighter fit around work boots, preventing debris from entering and reducing the risk of trips.
Design & Performance
The UC807 is constructed from 100% polyester, specifically a heavy-duty 300 Denier weave. This choice of fabric is deliberate; it provides a robust exterior that can handle the friction and environmental stress typical of construction and industrial settings. The PU (Polyurethane) coating is the secret to its showerproof performance, allowing water to bead off the surface rather than soaking through to the wearer's undergarments. Despite its sturdy build, the trousers remain flexible, ensuring that movement is not restricted when climbing ladders or operating machinery.
Performance is further enhanced by the garment's durability. It is certified to maintain its high-visibility properties for up to 25 wash cycles, providing a clear lifecycle for the product and ensuring that safety standards are consistently met over time. The unisex design and functional front pockets add a level of versatility that makes this a staple for any workforce.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that a professional appearance is just as important as safety. The UC807 can be customised with your company branding through both print and embroidery. Our in-house team, established in Telford in 1976, uses precision equipment to ensure your logo is applied with the highest level of detail. Embroidery is an excellent choice for a sophisticated, textured finish on names or small logos, while print is often preferred for larger, bold identifiers that need to stand out against the high-visibility background.
Use Cases
These trousers are primarily designed for those working in the rail industry, construction, and roadside assistance. Due to the GO/RT 3279 certification, the orange variant is the industry standard for railway workers in the UK. They are also ideal for logistics staff, site supervisors, and any trade where working in low-light conditions or near moving vehicles is common.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these trousers are often worn over standard work trousers as an outer layer. To ensure a comfortable fit that doesn't restrict movement, you may wish to consider the bulk of your existing clothing. The elasticated waist is forgiving, but ensuring the length is correct via the adjustable ankles will prevent any excess fabric from becoming a hazard.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility and waterproof properties of the UC807, it is essential to follow the care instructions meticulously. Maintaining the fabric's integrity ensures the garment continues to protect you as intended.
We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the PU coating and cause the retro-reflective tapes to lose their luminosity, which would directly impact the safety rating of the trousers.
Avoid using bleach or strong chemical detergents. These substances are too abrasive for the 300 Denier polyester and will strip away the showerproof finish, leaving you vulnerable to the rain. Additionally, do not exceed the 25-wash limit if you require the garment to meet full EN ISO 20471 certification standards, as the reflective materials naturally degrade over time with laundering.
