FAQs

What material are these trousers made from?

The Portwest WX3 Work Holster Trousers are made from a durable Kingsmill Canvas fabric, consisting of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton Canvas with a peach finish, weighing 280g.

Are kneepads included with the trousers?

Yes, a free pair of kneepads is included with this trouser purchase.

What is the primary benefit of the stretch panelling?

The innovative stretch panelling is located in key movement areas, providing excellent comfort and flexibility, allowing for a greater range of motion during work activities.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

These trousers feature a total of 12 pockets, offering ample storage for tools and personal items.

Can I adjust the length of the trousers?

Yes, the trousers have an adjustable leg hem, allowing you to customize the length for convenience and a better fit.

What safety standards do these trousers meet?

They meet EN 14404:2004+A1:2010 Type 2 Level 0 when used in combination with the S156 kneepads.

How should I care for my WX3 Work Holster Trousers?

They can be machine washed at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and iron on a medium setting.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. The stretch panelling offers some flexibility, but proper initial sizing is key. Try adjusting the leg hem if it feels bunched.

Knee pads do not stay in place.

Check that the correct size kneepads are being used and are properly seated within the two-tier pockets. Ensure the pocket flaps are secured. If using non-standard pads, they may not fit correctly.

Seams appear to be stretching or weakening.

This is unusual with triple-stitched seams. Avoid overloading pockets excessively. Ensure washing and drying instructions are followed to prevent undue fabric stress.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes happen with cotton blends. Try a low-heat tumble dry or wear the trousers to allow them to soften with body heat and movement. Avoid high heat drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional storage with 12 pockets, including secure holster options.
  • Enhanced comfort and freedom of movement due to stretch panelling.
  • Durable construction with triple-stitched seams for longevity.
  • Customizable fit with adjustable leg hem and two-tier knee pad pockets.
  • Included kneepads offer immediate protection.

Cons

  • Poly-cotton blend may be warmer in very hot climates compared to lighter fabrics.
  • Holster pockets might be bulky for those who prefer a minimalist approach.
  • Requires careful size selection to ensure optimal fit and comfort.
  • The fabric's peach finish might show wear over prolonged, abrasive use.
  • Standard workwear fit may not suit all body types without adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  • Knee Pad Insertion: Open the two-tier knee pad pockets (usually located on the outside of the leg near the knee). Insert the provided kneepads (or compatible third-party pads) into the pocket, ensuring they sit correctly within the designated space. Adjust the positioning within the two tiers for optimal comfort and protection.
  • Hem Adjustment: Unfold or adjust the internal hem at the bottom of each leg to achieve the desired length. Secure any internal fastenings if present.

Compatibility:

  • Kneepads: These trousers are designed to be used with specific kneepads. They are certified to EN 14404:2004+A1:2010 Type 2 Level 0 when used with the Portwest S156 kneepads. Always ensure any replacement kneepads meet the required safety standards for your work.
  • Tool Belts/Harnesses: The waistband and pocket design are generally compatible with standard tool belts and harnesses. However, avoid overloading pockets to maintain comfort and prevent undue stress on seams.

Care:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with similar colours. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and its protective properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Ensure the trousers are completely dry before storing.
  • Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed logos or reflective details.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
