These ProtecWork trousers are built for high-risk work areas and hazardous environments where heat, flame and electric arc are real risks. The protection is inherent to the fabric, and high-visibility panels help you stay seen in low-light conditions, including on the railway.
Heavy-duty Kevlar® covers the front of the legs and the calves, where wear is greatest. A full set of holster, leg and ruler pockets keeps tools and small items close at hand on site.
Key features
