Extreme Protection. Zero Swamp-Factor. Most rain gear feels like wearing a plastic bag—you stay dry from the rain but end up soaked in sweat. The PW342 Hi-Vis Extreme Rain Pants solve that with a massive 50,000 G/M² breathability rating. That’s higher spec than most high-end hiking gear. Built with 300D Stretch Oxford fabric and finished with a PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco coating, these pants are trade-tested to repel oil, grime, and water. We’ve specifically selected these because they meet rigorous AS/NZS safety standards while offering a slimline, contemporary fit that doesn't look like a standard "tent" trouser. Why we’d actually wear these: Easy Access: Extra-long side leg zips mean you can pull them over your boots in seconds when the weather turns. Back Protection: The elevated padded back panel keeps your lower back warm and protected from drafts when you're bending or climbing. Storage that works: 8 pockets, including dedicated rule and cargo pockets, plus bottom-loading kneepad pockets for extra durability on the ground. Tough as Nails: Triple-stitched seams ensure these won't blow out when the job gets heavy. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
