FAQs
Are knee pads included with these trousers?
No, the Dickies GDT Premium Kneepad Work Trousers are designed with pockets for knee pads, but the CORDURA® knee pads themselves are sold separately. You need to purchase compatible knee pads to meet EN specifications.
What is CORDURA® reinforcement?
CORDURA® is a highly durable and abrasion-resistant fabric often used in workwear. In these trousers, it's used to reinforce key areas like the hem guards and knee pad pockets to increase their lifespan under demanding conditions.
What does 'gusset at crotch' mean for comfort?
A gusset is an extra piece of fabric sewn into the crotch area. It provides additional room and flexibility, reducing strain and allowing for a greater range of motion when bending, squatting, or climbing.
What material are these trousers made from?
The trousers are made from a 275gm² fabric blend consisting of 98% cotton and 2% lycra, offering a good balance of comfort, breathability, and stretch.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Dickies size chart available on the product page or manufacturer's website. Measure your waist and inseam accurately to select the appropriate size.
Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?
The 98% cotton blend offers good breathability. However, like most durable work trousers with reinforcements, they may feel warmer than lightweight alternatives in extremely high temperatures. Proper ventilation and breaks are recommended.
Are these trousers suitable for women?
While the product description specifies 'Male' gender, the WD4901 model is also available in unisex options and various sizes. Please check the specific product listing for unisex availability and consult sizing guides carefully, as fit can differ.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the size chart. The 2% lycra offers some stretch, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort and mobility.
Knee pad pockets feel loose.
Confirm you are using the compatible CORDURA® knee pads designed for these trousers. Ensure the pads are correctly seated within the pockets.
Reduced durability after washing.
Follow the care instructions precisely. Washing at high temperatures, using harsh detergents, or improper drying can degrade fabric strength and CORDURA® performance.
Reflective chevron is peeling.
Avoid high heat during ironing and do not tumble dry on high heat. Iron inside out or with a protective cloth over the reflective elements.
