FAQs
What material are these trousers made from?
The Portwest WX3 Holster Trousers are made from a durable poly-cotton canvas fabric, incorporating innovative stretch panelling in key movement areas.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
These trousers feature 12 pockets, including specialized ones like a rule pocket, detachable ID pocket, swing-away tool pockets, and a smart phone pocket.
Are kneepads included with the trousers?
Yes, a free pair of kneepads is included with the Portwest WX3 Holster Trousers.
What is the UPF rating of the fabric?
The fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, which blocks over 98% of UV rays.
How do I adjust the leg length?
The leg hem is adjustable to accommodate different leg lengths. This can typically be done by unpicking and re-stitching or using an internal adjustment feature.
What is the benefit of the high rise back waistband?
The high rise back waistband is designed to ensure greater protection and coverage in all working positions, especially when bending over.
Can I use these trousers in hot weather?
The poly-cotton blend offers durability. While stretch panels enhance comfort, for extremely hot conditions, users might prefer lighter, more breathable materials. However, the 40+ UPF rating offers protection from the sun.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the size guide. The side elastic waist and stretch panels should provide comfort, but incorrect sizing is the primary cause of restriction.
Kneepads do not stay in place
Ensure you are using the two-tier knee pad pockets correctly, allowing for two positioning options. Check if the kneepads are the correct size for the pockets. Some models may require adjustment of the trouser leg hem.
Pockets feel bulky or uncomfortable
When not in use, consider emptying swing-away tool pockets or re-organizing contents. The design accounts for loaded pockets; ensure nothing is creating an unnatural bulge.
Stitching coming loose
While triple-stitched seams are durable, significant abrasion or strain can cause issues. Contact customer support if this occurs prematurely, as it may be a manufacturing defect.
Reflective trim fading
Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat drying, or excessive scrubbing of the trim, as this can accelerate fading.
