Waterproof Safety Trousers keep the legs dry and visible in rain and spray. Made from coated fluorescent fabric with sealed seams and reflective bands on each leg, they are designed to be pulled on over work trousers when the weather turns.
An elastic waist, leg zips and adjustable hems make them quick to put on and comfortable to wear with boots, and they pair with our rain jackets for a full rain suit.
Key Features of the Waterproof Safety Trousers
- Waterproof: PU-coated fabric with taped seams.
- Overtrouser fit: elastic or drawcord waist to wear over other trousers.
- Leg zips: side zips with storm flaps for pulling on over boots.
- Reflective tape: two bands around each leg.
- Adjustable hems: snap or hook-and-loop to fit over boots.
- Pocket access: slits to reach the pockets of trousers underneath.

Safety Standards & Compliance
On their own, hi vis trousers are classed as ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Class E — supplemental garments that raise the wearer to Class 3 when worn with a Class 2 or Class 3 top. Under EN ISO 20471 trousers with two reflective bands per leg typically reach Class 1, or Class 2 in larger sizes and bib designs, and combined with a Class 2 jacket the outfit can be rated Class 3.
Tell us which standard your buyers specify; test reports are issued per style and size range.
For wet-weather performance, European buyers usually also ask for EN 343 (protection against rain), which rates water penetration resistance and breathability in classes 1–4. Tell us the visibility class and the EN 343 class you need; test reports are issued per style, fabric and tape combination.
Customization & OEM Options
Most buyers order these with a matching rain jacket as a set. We can supply them packed together in one bag for easy issue.
- Branding: screen printing, heat transfer, embroidery or woven labels — placed so they do not cover the reflective tape.
- Private label: your own neck label, care label, size label, hangtag and polybag.
- Colour & tape: fluorescent yellow, orange or red, two-tone designs, and a choice of reflective tape grades.
- Packing: individual polybags, size-assorted cartons and carton marks to your warehouse requirements.
