R517X Recycled Dynamic Stretch Safety Trousers – Result Safeguard

The Result Safeguard R517X Recycled Dynamic Stretch Safety Trouser brings a more modern approach to hi-vis workwear, combining certified Class 2 visibility with a tailored slim silhouette, dynamic stretch and practical multi-pocket storage.

Made from 280gsm fabric containing 50% recycled polyester twill and 50% Elastomultiester polyester, the R517X provides comfortable stretch and freedom of movement without relying on traditional elastane. The fabric is soft to the touch, wrinkle-resistant and designed to spring back into shape, helping the trousers maintain a professional appearance throughout the working day.

The trousers feature nine pockets, including reinforced ruler and multi-compartment thigh pockets, expandable rear pockets and a hammer loop, giving tradespeople plenty of practical storage without requiring a separate tool vest or belt for every task.

An articulated knee zone, elasticated side waistband with high back, ankle scuff panels and treble-stitched critical seams further reinforce the trousers' suitability for demanding working environments.

Certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 2, with the Fluorescent Orange version also certified to RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 2, the R517X is a particularly strong option for construction, infrastructure, utilities and relevant railway work.

Why Choose the R517X for Your Business?

A More Modern Hi-Vis Trouser

Traditional hi-vis trousers can often look loose, bulky and purely functional.

The R517X takes a different approach.

Its slim, tailored silhouette gives your workforce a more professional appearance while retaining the functionality expected from serious workwear.

That makes it particularly attractive for businesses that want their site teams to look like a professional, consistent workforce rather than simply wearing generic PPE.

Dynamic Stretch Without Traditional Elastane

The fabric uses 50% Elastomultiester polyester rather than traditional elastane.

Result says the unique structure of these fibres provides stretch while offering moisture-wicking properties and increased resistance to damage, helping create a longer-lasting garment.

The result is a trouser designed to move with the wearer without sacrificing the durability expected from working trousers.

50% Recycled Polyester

Sustainability is built into the fabric rather than being an afterthought.

The R517X contains 50% recycled polyester twill, with Result stating that each garment represents the equivalent of approximately 12 one-litre plastic bottles of recycled material.

That gives businesses looking to improve the recycled content of their workwear a credible option without moving away from practical site performance.

Class 2 Hi-Vis Certification

The R517X is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 2.

This provides the high-visibility performance required for a range of higher-risk working environments.

As always, the correct PPE should be selected according to the employer's risk assessment and the requirements of the specific workplace or site.

RIS-3279-TOM Orange Option

The Fluorescent Orange version is certified to RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 2.

That makes the R517X particularly relevant to contractors and businesses operating within applicable UK railway environments.

Nine Practical Pockets

The R517X isn't short on storage.

Its nine-pocket configuration includes:

• Reinforced ruler pocket
• Multi-compartment thigh pockets
• Expandable back pockets
• Hammer loop
• Belt loops

This makes it particularly useful for trades where workers need to carry tools, measuring equipment and smaller essentials throughout the day.

Designed for Movement

The articulated knee zone allows the trousers to work with the wearer's natural movement.

Combined with the stretch fabric and elasticated side waistband, this makes the R517X particularly suitable for workers who spend much of their day bending, kneeling, climbing or moving around a site.

Built for Hard Working Environments

The R517X combines several durability-focused details:

• Treble-stitched critical seams
• Ankle scuff panels
• Reinforced ruler pocket
• Articulated knees
• Durable stretch fabric
• Zip fly with rivet

These details help make the trousers suitable for everyday professional use rather than occasional site visits.

A More Professional Team Appearance

For businesses that put their workforce in branded clothing, appearance matters.

The R517X's slimmer silhouette gives you an opportunity to create a more coordinated, modern-looking hi-vis uniform, particularly when paired with a matching hi-vis polo, T-shirt, jacket or softshell.
