As part of the wider hi vis workwear trousers range, they are commonly used in highways, traffic management, construction, utilities and outdoor maintenance where weather conditions can change quickly.

Over trousers are often chosen for their ability to add a protective waterproof layer without replacing the worker’s normal trousers, making them especially useful for seasonal and bad-weather use.
