Why Choose Portwest S486 Hi-Vis Rain Pants?
These lightweight, waterproof over-pants combine advanced fabric technology with practical design features. The 300D Industry polyester construction with PU coating provides 15,000mm waterproof protection, while sealed seams ensure no water penetration during extended outdoor work.
Key Features That Set These Rain Pants Apart
Superior Visibility and Safety Compliance The Portwest S486 meets stringent safety standards including ANSI/ISEA 107 Class E and EN ISO 20471 Class 2 certification. High-visibility yellow fabric with reflective tape keeps workers visible in low-light conditions, while the certification remains effective even after 50 washes. The 40+ UPF rated fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, providing year-round protection.
Exceptional Weather Protection Rated EN 343 Class 3:1 X with 15,000mm waterproof capability, these rain pants feature the innovative PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish. Water beads away from the surface rather than soaking through, keeping you dry during prolonged exposure to rain and wet conditions.
Practical Design Elements The fully elasticated waistband ensures comfortable all-day wear without restrictive adjustments. Snap-adjustable hems allow quick customization for different boot heights and leg lengths. Pass-through pockets provide convenient access to items stored in pants underneath without removing the rain protection layer.
Contrast Panels for Durability Black contrast panels strategically positioned on high-wear areas resist visible dirt and staining, maintaining a professional appearance longer between washes.
