Silicon FR Arc-Rated Hi-Vis Combat Trousers – Tall Leg

Yes. These trousers are certified for arc flash protection and designed for live electrical environments. They meet EN 61482-2 with an ATPV of 17 cal/cm² and ELIM of 14 cal/cm², giving a measured level of incident energy protection. The fabric is an inherent flame-retardant blend (60% Modacrylic, 40% Cotton) with antistatic properties and a 310gsm weight, which helps resist ignition and reduces static build-up. They also carry additional protective standards such as EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 11611 for heat and welding exposures, and EN 1149-5 for electrostatic dissipative performance. These features make them suitable for electricians, utility crews, and maintenance teams who need certified arc protection. Limitations: the protection is to the stated ATPV rating, so tasks with higher incident energy require higher-rated PPE or multiple layers as determined by a site risk assessment.

They provide substantially greater safety and durability than ordinary work trousers. Specifically, the 60% Modacrylic/40% Cotton fabric is inherent flame retardant and rated at 310gsm, so it resists heat and maintains FR properties over time rather than relying on surface treatments. Certification to EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 11611, and EN 61482-2 (ATPV 17 cal/cm², ELIM 14 cal/cm²) gives measurable proof of thermal, welding and arc performance that regular cotton trousers do not offer. Practical design details like a tall leg cut, secure buttonhole waistband, fly zip, and multiple Velcro-secured pockets add durability and on-the-job functionality. These advantages benefit frontline workers in hazardous trades such as electrical, welding, and industrial maintenance. Trade-off: they are heavier and more technical than casual trousers, so for general non-hazardous tasks a lighter garment may be more comfortable.

Yes. The trousers are designed to combine visibility, fit, and practical comfort for extended wear. They are high-visibility yellow and certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, which is a measurable standard for conspicuity on road or site environments. The tall leg fit improves mobility and reduces riding up when bending or climbing, and the 310gsm Modacrylic/Cotton fabric offers a durable, stable feel while being inherently flame retardant and antistatic for safety. Multiple pockets and a concealed jean button with a secure waistband enhance day-to-day convenience. Who benefits most: road workers, site operatives, and utility staff who need both visibility and protective performance. Note: the 310gsm fabric is relatively substantial, so it may feel warm during very hot conditions; consider sizing and ventilation layering for hot-weather use.
