S5 High Visibility Safety Waders: The ultimate shield 🛡️ made in Europe
Be seen. Be protected. Be invincible.
On a nighttime roadworks site, during a flood, or in a busy industrial area , the danger is threefold: water, uneven ground, and moving machinery. Our Fluo safety waders are the ultimate solution to these threats. They combine our most durable wader (Heavy Duty), an S5 safety boot, and integrated fluorescent technology. Designed and manufactured in Europe, they are the essential PPE for those who refuse to choose between being seen and being protected.
✅ Why is this model the life insurance for professionals?
It's not just rain gear; it's signaling and protective equipment. Here's why it's vital in the field:
➡️ High Visibility Fluorescent (Active Safety) 🚧
- Feature: Plavitex Heavy Duty® Fluo (Orange or Yellow) solution-dyed fabric + Matching fluorescent boots.
- This makes you impossible to miss. In fog, in driving rain, or in the glare of headlights, you signal your presence to machine operators and your colleagues. You avoid the risk of collision, even with water up to your chest.
➡️ S5-SRC "Total Protect" standard (Passive Safety) 🛡️
- Feature: Boots with steel toecap (200 Joules) and steel anti-perforation sole.
- This allows you to walk confidently on sharp debris, rebar, or under suspended loads. Your feet are in a waterproof safe haven. The sole is resistant to oils and hydrocarbons, extending the product's lifespan in industrial environments.
➡️ Plavitex Heavy Duty® fabric (Extreme Durability) 💪🏼
- Feature: PVC fabric on ultra-thick polyester backing (680 g/m²).
- This allows you to tackle the most aggressive environments. This fabric is a true shield against tears, abrasion, and snags. It's heavy-duty material for heavy-duty work.
➡️ Reinforced Knees & Triple Welded Stitching 🧱
- Feature: Double thickness welded at the knees and assembly by triple high-frequency welding at the boots.
- This allows you to work on your knees on asphalt or rubble without damaging your equipment. The material fusion guarantees 100% waterproofing; no seam will come undone.

👁️ Pro Tip: Maintenance & Visibility
With fluorescent PPE , cleanliness is a matter of survival:
- Essential cleaning 🚿: Fluorescent waders covered in grey mud no longer reflect light. Rinse them thoroughly after each use to reactivate their visibility.
- Careful drying 💨: This item is heavy and thick. It must be hung and open to dry to prevent mold growth inside.
- UV Storage ☀️: Don't leave it to dry unnecessarily in direct sunlight for weeks. Although UV-treated, fluorescent products retain their brightness longer if stored away from direct light when not in use.
💡 Tip : Use our wall-mounted rack for optimal drying and storage.
- S5 Check ⚠️: Regularly check the condition of the boots. If the toecap has sustained a violent impact (visible or not deformed), 100% protection is no longer guaranteed.
🤝🏼 Replacement commitment: If your boots suffer structural damage while protecting you, contact us for a replacement offer.
💡 Complete your equipment: Insulation and Storage
Security is there, optimize comfort and logistics:
- ❄️ Beware of the cold: The steel hull acts as a thermal bridge (it conducts cold). In winter or in cold water, it is essential to add our special wader thermal booties to insulate your toes from the icy metal.
- 🧱 Robust Storage: These waders are heavy (Heavy Duty + Steel). Do not hang them by the suspenders (which will stretch). Use our wall bracket to hang them by the boots, upside down. This is the only suitable method for this weight.
