FAQs

What material are the Portwest Combat Trousers made from?

They are made from Kingsmill fabric, a durable blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, weighing 245g.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

The trousers feature a total of 8 pockets for ample storage, including two back patch pockets, side pockets, and cargo pockets.

Can I insert knee pads into these trousers?

Yes, the trousers are equipped with knee pad pockets designed to accommodate standard work knee pads for added protection.

Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?

The poly-cotton blend offers breathability, and the 40+ UPF rating provides sun protection, making them suitable for outdoor work. However, like most durable work trousers, they may be warmer than lighter-weight alternatives.

How should I care for these trousers to ensure longevity?

Machine wash at 60°C with like colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on medium, and iron on medium heat. Always refer to the care label.

What does 'pre-shrunk' mean for this garment?

Pre-shrunk fabric has undergone a process to reduce shrinkage after washing. While this minimizes further shrinking, it's still important to select the correct size initially as per the size guide.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, which means it blocks approximately 98% of UV radiation.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight or loose initially.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart. The elasticated back waist offers some adjustment for a more secure fit.

Pockets do not close securely.

Check that the hook and loop fasteners are clean and free from debris. Ensure items stored do not prevent the flap from fully closing.

Reduced comfort after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid excessive heat during drying or ironing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable fabric and reinforced construction for long-lasting use.
  • Extensive storage capacity with multiple secure pockets.
  • Comfortable fit with elasticated waist.
  • Offers good protection against UV radiation.
  • Practical features like knee pad pockets and an anti-scratch design.

Cons

  • Traditional workwear styling may not appeal to everyone.
  • Pre-shrunk fabric means minimal further shrinkage, but initial fit is crucial.
  • While durable, frequent heavy abrasion could eventually show wear.
  • Cargo pockets might add bulk when fully loaded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no initial setup beyond ensuring the correct size is selected. The fit can be further adjusted with the elasticated back waist. Knee pads, if desired, can be inserted into the dedicated knee pad pockets from the inside.

Compatibility: The primary function is workwear. The knee pad pockets are designed to fit standard work knee pads. The anti-scratch design makes them compatible with most surfaces.

  • Machine wash at 60°C (140°F).
  • Wash with like colors.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry on a medium heat setting.
  • Iron on a medium heat setting.
  • Follow garment care label instructions precisely.
