FAQs

What material are the Portwest Combat Trousers made from?

They are constructed from a durable, pre-shrunk Kingsmill polycotton fabric, offering a balance of strength and comfort.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

These trousers feature a total of six pockets: two side pockets, two back patch pockets, and two cargo pockets with hook and loop flaps.

Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?

The polycotton fabric provides durability and some breathability. While suitable for many outdoor conditions, they may feel warm in extremely high temperatures for some individuals.

What does UPF 40+ mean?

UPF 40+ means the fabric provides a high level of ultraviolet (UV) protection, blocking over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays.

How should I care for my Combat Trousers?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Iron on a medium setting if needed.

What is the main benefit of the hook and loop closures?

The hook and loop closures on the cargo pockets offer secure storage with easy and quick access.

Are these trousers available in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Portwest Combat Trousers are available in a range of sizes and colors. Please check the product listing for available options.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel tight after washing

The Kingsmill fabric is pre-shrunk, but slight shrinkage can still occur. Consider ordering a size up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, especially for the initial purchase. Subsequent washes should maintain their size.

Hook and loop fasteners lose grip

Ensure the hook and loop areas are clean and free of lint or debris. Gently brush them with a stiff brush. If the grip significantly deteriorates, it may indicate wear and tear over extended use.

Stitching appears to be fraying

The trousers feature reinforced seams and bartacking. If minor fraying occurs, it is often cosmetic. For significant seam separation, contact customer support or consider professional repair.
