The Portwest EV443 EV4 Shell Trousers give year-round waterproof, windproof and breathable protection for work outdoors. The 3-layer stretch fabric moves with you when you kneel, climb or bend, and stays lightweight for long shifts.
The bib and braces zip off completely, so you can wear them as bib trousers in heavy weather or as plain trousers when you want less coverage. Zipped thigh pockets and generous front pockets keep a phone, pens and tools close to hand.
Key features
- Water-repellent, eco-conscious finish makes water bead off the fabric surface
- Taped seams and waterproof zips seal out driving rain
- 4-way stretch fabric and pre-bent knees give easy movement when kneeling or climbing
- Detachable bib and braces let you switch between bib trousers and trousers
- Bottom-loading knee pad pockets hold pads in place at the knee
- Crotch gusset reduces stress on the seams for a longer working life
- Side zip leg openings make it easy to pull the trousers on over boots, and inner boot clips stop the legs riding up
- Two zipped thigh pockets and two front pockets, an adjustable waist, a zip fly with Portwest stud button and reflective print for added visibility
