Why it works

EN ISO 20471 Class 1

Certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 1 after 50 washes, so the hi-vis rating holds up wash after wash.

Stain-resistant finish

Texpel Stain Eco repels grime and water, keeping the shorts easier to clean on site.

Twin-stitched seams

Twin-stitched seams reinforce the pockets and stress points for a longer working life.

Reflective tape bands

Reflective bands on each leg keep the wearer visible to traffic and plant in low light.

CE certified, UKCA marked
