Benefits of Packable Hi-Vis Trousers

Always Prepared British weather is notoriously unpredictable. Having a pair of lightweight packable trousers means you're never caught out by sudden rain showers. Keep them in your van, pocket or bag and simply pull them on when the weather turns.

Quick to Deploy Unlike bulky waterproofs, these trousers are designed for rapid deployment. The leg zips and elasticated waist mean you can have them on in seconds – essential when rain arrives unexpectedly on site.

Comfortable Layering The roomy fit is specifically designed to go over your regular work trousers without restriction. Pass-through pockets mean you can still access your phone, wallet or tools without removing the over-trousers.

Maintains Compliance Even when worn over standard work trousers, the hi-vis fabric and reflective tape ensure you remain fully visible and site-compliant. No need to choose between staying dry and staying safe.
