Portwest ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Combat Trouser

Whether you're on a busy construction site, a rail corridor, or a highways maintenance project, the Portwest EST46 ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Combat Trouser delivers the durability, practicality, and certified visibility that working professionals demand. Combining robust construction with smart storage solutions, these hi-vis combat trousers are built to keep up with the most demanding days on site.

Made from Kingsmill Polycotton — 65% polyester, 35% cotton at 245g — the EST46 offers the ideal balance between strength and comfort. The fabric is tough enough to withstand the rigours of heavy-duty work while remaining comfortable enough to wear throughout a full shift. Triple-stitched seams and bartacked stress points provide additional structural integrity where it counts most, extending the working life of the garment even under the hardest conditions.

Stain Resistance That Works as Hard as You Do

The EST46 features Texpel™ Stain Eco — a premium, eco-conscious stain-resistant finish that actively repels grime, water, and everyday site soiling. This advanced treatment helps the trousers look professional shift after shift, reducing cleaning frequency and extending garment life without compromising on sustainability.

Five Pockets for Total On-Site Organisation

When you're working, having the right tool or accessory within easy reach makes all the difference. The EST46 is equipped with five thoughtfully positioned pockets:

• 2 side pockets for everyday essentials
• 1 easy-access cargo pocket for larger tools and equipment
• 2 back patch pockets for additional storage flexibility

Everything you need, right where you need it — no fumbling, no unnecessary trips back to the van.

Visibility That Meets the Highest Standards

Integrated reflective tape ensures the EST46 keeps you clearly visible in low-light and reduced-visibility conditions, complementing the bold hi-vis shell fabric to provide all-round conspicuity on site. Combined with 40+ UPF rated fabric that blocks 98% of UV rays, you're protected from both oncoming traffic and the sun overhead.
