How to choose

**Choosing hi-vis trousers:**

1. **EN ISO 20471 class** — check whether your site requires Class 1 or Class 2 lower-body visibility.
2. **Cargo vs. slim fit** — cargo trousers with multiple pockets suit tool-carrying trades; slim-fit options reduce snagging on frames and scaffolding.
3. **Waterproof rating** — for outdoor work, look for a minimum 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating.
4. **Knee pad pockets** — important for tilers, floor layers, and glaziers fitting low-level frames.
5. **Waistband type** — elasticated rear waistband improves comfort when bending; belt loops needed if wearing a tool belt.
Trade Tip

**Trade tip:** For window installers who kneel frequently when fitting low-level frames, look for hi-vis trousers with twin foam-insert knee pad pockets — they protect the knees without adding bulk and keep both hands free during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do hi-vis trousers need to be EN ISO 20471 certified?

For most UK construction sites, yes — EN ISO 20471 is the required standard. Check your site's PPE requirements, as minimum class levels vary by role and environment.

Can I wash hi-vis trousers at high temperatures?

Most hi-vis workwear can be washed at 40°C. Higher temperatures degrade the retroreflective strips faster. Follow the care label and replace trousers when strips show wear.

Do you stock hi-vis trousers in short and tall leg lengths?

Yes — our range includes R (regular), S (short) and T (tall) leg options depending on the brand. Check individual product listings for available size combinations.
