Product Overview
The Warrior Hi-Vis Overtrousers are a fundamental component of any professional safety wardrobe, designed to provide reliable protection against the elements and visibility in hazardous environments. Engineered to be worn over standard work trousers, these overtrousers offer a practical solution for workers who must adapt quickly to changing weather conditions without compromising on safety compliance. With a focus on functionality and durability, they serve as a robust barrier against wind and rain while ensuring you remain conspicuous to others on site.

- EN343 Class 3.1 Waterproofing: Provides a certified level of protection against rain, ensuring that the wearer stays dry during extended periods of outdoor work.
- RIS-3279-TOM Compliance (Orange only): The orange version meets the stringent safety standards required for the UK rail industry, making it an essential requirement for trackside personnel.
- Elasticated Waistband: Designed for comfort and ease of movement, the elasticated waist allows for a secure fit that can be easily pulled over existing layers.

- Adjustable Studded Leg Ends: The open leg ends feature stud adjusters, allowing for a precise fit over different types of safety footwear to prevent tripping hazards and water ingress.
Design & Performance
The performance of these overtrousers is rooted in their construction from 300D polyester with a durable PU coating. This material choice ensures a substantial feel and high resistance to abrasion, which is critical for longevity in demanding trade environments. Unlike lighter alternatives, this fabric provides a sturdy shield against the wind and rain. The design incorporates two high-quality reflective bands around each leg, positioned to maximise light return from vehicle headlights and site lighting, ensuring safety from multiple angles throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand the importance of a professional corporate identity. These Warrior overtrousers are suitable for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is an excellent choice for adding a durable company logo or staff name, providing a traditional and sophisticated finish. For those requiring larger, more prominent branding, our high-quality printing process ensures bold designs remain visible and professional. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly fifty years of experience to ensure your branding is applied with precision without compromising the garment's protective properties.
Use Cases
These overtrousers are ideally suited for professionals in construction, logistics, and roadside assistance who require a versatile hi-vis layer. The orange variant is a specific requirement for the UK railway sector, while the yellow is a staple for general site work. They are perfect for outdoor workers who need to maintain visibility in overcast or wet conditions while protecting their primary workwear from dirt and moisture.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, remember that these are designed as an outer layer. While they are cut generously to fit over your existing trousers, you should consider the bulk of your thermal layers if working in extreme cold. Always ensure the leg studs are adjusted correctly to your boots to maintain a professional appearance and prevent the fabric from catching on equipment.
Caring for your product
To preserve the technical performance and visibility of your overtrousers, regular cleaning is essential. Accumulated dirt can dull the fluorescent fabric and obscure the reflective bands, which directly impacts your safety on site. We recommend a domestic wash to remove contaminants that can degrade the PU coating over time.
Avoid the use of bleach or strong chemical detergents, as these can strip the waterproof coating from the polyester. It is also important to air dry the garment naturally. Subjecting the trousers to the high heat of a tumble dryer can cause the reflective tape to crack and the waterproof membrane to delaminate, rendering the garment less effective in protecting you from the rain.
