FAQs
What is Cordura® fabric and why is it used?
Cordura® is a highly durable, abrasion-resistant fabric often used in workwear and military applications. It's incorporated into these trousers at key wear points like knee pads and hems to significantly enhance their lifespan and resistance to damage.
Can I wear knee pads with these trousers?
Yes, these trousers feature dedicated Cordura® knee pad pockets designed to hold standard knee pads, providing protection during kneeling tasks.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The trousers offer a comprehensive array of pockets, including holster pockets, hip pockets, back pockets, a cargo pocket, a hammer loop, and a rule pocket, providing extensive storage options.
What material are the main trousers made from?
The main body of the trousers is made from a 300gsm blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton canvas.
Are these trousers suitable for all types of weather?
The poly-cotton blend offers moderate breathability and durability. While suitable for general outdoor work, they may be warm in very hot conditions and may require layering for extreme cold.
How should I care for these trousers to ensure they last?
Follow standard machine washing guidelines at moderate temperatures (e.g., 40°C) with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and high heat ironing.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or loose despite correct size
Ensure the elasticated waistband is not twisted. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if the specific size aligns with your body shape or consult the brand's detailed size chart.
Cordura® fabric showing signs of premature wear
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces when not necessary.
Zip fly becomes stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Pockets feel bulky or uncomfortable when empty
This is common with robust pocket designs. Ensure pockets are laid flat when not in use. Distribute heavier items evenly across multiple pockets if possible.
