The JCB Unisex Lightweight Waterproof Trousers Black (JCB009BL) are a packable, ultra-lightweight overtrousers designed for reliable rain protection in work environments, construction sites, outdoor trades, or general bad-weather use. Part of the JCB Workwear range (from the iconic machinery brand), these are built as a practical layering piece rather than heavy-duty bib-and-brace alternatives.
Key Features and Specifications
Material: 100% Polyester with TPU membrane and print – ultra-light at just 86g fabric weight for minimal bulk.
Waterproofing: Fully waterproof with taped seams; designed to keep you dry in heavy rain (breathable to reduce condensation buildup).
Design and Fit: Unisex styling, elasticated waist with toggle adjustment for a secure fit, elasticated ankles, and a waterproof zip at the leg for easy footwear access (great for pulling on over boots without removing them).
Packability: Compact and foldable – easy to store in a pocket, toolbox, or vehicle when not in use.
Additional Details: New JCB logo branding, silicone tab (for pocket or anti-slip), unlined for lightness.
Sizes: Available from XS to 5XL.
Color: Black (practical and low-visibility for work settings).
Uses: Ideal as overtrousers over regular work pants for sudden showers; suitable for construction, landscaping, agriculture, maintenance, or any outdoor trade needing quick-deploy rain protection.
These are distinct from heavier JCB waterproof models (e.g., the 145g unlined version like JCB003BL), prioritizing portability and speed over maximum durability for extreme conditions. Users often praise the lightweight feel and ease of packing, making them a go-to for variable UK/Irish weather.
