FAQs
What is the primary material of the Portwest C701 Combat Trousers?
The trousers are constructed from Kingsmill polycotton, a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a weight of 245g. The fabric is pre-shrunk for a stable fit.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The Portwest C701 Combat Trousers feature a total of six pockets, including two back patch pockets and four side/cargo pockets.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
While the polycotton blend offers durability, they may be warmer than lighter, 100% cotton fabrics. The UPF 40+ rating is beneficial for sun protection during outdoor work in any weather.
What does 'UPF 40+' mean?
UPF 40+ indicates that the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, offering significant sun protection.
How should I care for these trousers to ensure they last?
Machine wash warm (max 40°C), do not bleach, tumble dry low, and iron on a medium setting. Wash with similar colours and avoid fabric softeners.
Are there other colour options available?
Yes, the Portwest C701 Combat Trousers are available in other colours such as Black and Navy, in addition to Beige.
What makes the seams reinforced?
Reinforced seams and bartacking at all stress points are designed to prevent tearing and add extra durability, especially in areas that experience high tension during movement or use.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or too loose.
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your waist accurately. Consider trying on different sizes if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.
Hook and Loop fasteners are not holding securely.
Clean the Hook and Loop strips with a brush to remove lint and debris. Ensure the flaps are aligned correctly when closing.
Fabric shows signs of premature wear.
Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. Avoid overloading pockets, as this can stress seams and fabric over time.
Discoloration after washing.
Wash with similar colours and avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Ensure the garment is dried according to care instructions.
