FAQs
Are the knee pads included with the trousers?
No, the knee pads are sold separately. The trousers are designed with pockets to accommodate compatible knee pads, such as HEROCK® 21MI0901 22MTR2102, for certified protection.
How do I determine the correct waist size?
Refer to the Herock sizing chart for accurate waist measurements. The provided size '42' refers to the UK men's waist size.
Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?
The fabric blend includes cotton and polyester, making them moderately breathable. However, they may feel warm in extreme heat due to their durable construction and water-repellent coating.
What does '2-way stretch' mean for these trousers?
It means the fabric can stretch and recover in two directions (typically horizontally and vertically), providing enhanced comfort and flexibility during physical activity.
How durable is the water-repellent coating?
The coating provides good resistance to light moisture. Its longevity depends on usage and care; frequent washing and heavy abrasion may reduce its effectiveness over time.
Are these trousers suitable for general casual wear?
While comfortable, their design is primarily functional for work environments with numerous pockets and reinforced areas. They may not be the most conventional choice for casual attire.
What is the significance of the EN ISO certifications?
EN ISO 13688:2013 is a general standard for protective clothing. EN ISO 14404:2004+A1:2010 specifies requirements for protective equipment for knees, particularly when used with work trousers. Type 2 Level 0 indicates a specific performance level for knee protection.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive despite correct size
Ensure the 2-way stretch fabric is correctly oriented. Try a different size if the restriction persists, or consider if knee pads are impacting movement.
Water repellency is reduced
Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider reapplying a suitable water-repellent spray for textiles after washing and drying.
Knee pads do not fit correctly
Verify you are using the recommended HEROCK® knee pads or pads designed for Type 2 Level 0 compatibility and ensure they are inserted properly into the designated pockets.
Pockets feel cumbersome or difficult to access
Organize tools efficiently within the pockets. Ensure items like mobile phones are placed in the designated secure pocket. Practice accessing frequently used tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trousers require no initial setup beyond ensuring the correct size is selected. For optimal knee protection and to meet certification standards, insert compatible knee pads (e.g., HEROCK® 21MI0901 22MTR2102) into the designated knee pockets. Ensure they are positioned correctly for maximum coverage and comfort.
Compatibility:
- Knee Pads: Compatible with EN ISO 14404:2004+A1:2010 Type 2 Level 0 compliant knee protection. Use of non-certified or incompatible knee pads will negate the certification.
- Footwear: The extendable hem allows for some adjustment, but pairing with standard work boots or safety shoes is recommended.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F) with similar colors.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting.
- Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature (max 150°C / 300°F).
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Maintenance: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the water-repellent properties and fabric breathability. Regularly inspect the trousers for wear and tear, especially at seams and reinforcement points. Reapply a water-repellent treatment if performance diminishes significantly after numerous washes.
