Description
The high-visibility trousers protect the wearer’s life by increasing their visibility. The fluorescent materials ensure that the workers can be seen easily during the day, even from a distance, whilst the retroreflective stripes make sure the wearer can also be seen well at night. The new Alpha HighVis collection combines warning protection class 2 with great environmental friendliness thanks to the use of TENCEL™ lyocell fibres from sustainable timber production and polyester from recycled PET plastic bottles. Together, these materials produce the EPD®-certified fabric Tecawork Ecogreen™, which impresses with UV protection, outstanding wearing comfort, great moisture regulation and high durability. Weighing in at just 260 g/m2 (safety yellow) / 270 g/m2 (safety orange), the trousers are also comfortably light.
The trousers have a waistband with concealed jeans buttons on both sides and belt loops as well as a fly with concealed zip. CWS has added dark panels to the zones subject to heavy wear – making dirt less noticeable. Two side pockets, two patch back pockets and a patch reinforced folding rule pocket offer storage space for tools and other aids. A special pocket for a smartphone with a flap and hook-and-loop fastener can also be found on the left leg.
CWS offers the high-visibility trousers in safety yellow/dark blue and safety yellow/dark grey as well as in safety orange in combination with dark blue, dark grey or dark green. The trousers should be worn together with the corresponding work jacket to ensure reliable high visibility. Upon request, CWS can also add company logos or name tags to the high-visibility clothing.
