FAQs

What material are these trousers made from?

The Portwest Wx3 Work Holster Trousers are made from Kingsmill Canvas, a durable fabric blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton Canvas with a peach finish, weighing 280g.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

These trousers feature a total of 12 pockets, including two front pockets, two back patch pockets, two side pockets, two swing-away holster pockets, and two-tier knee pad pockets.

Are knee pads included with the trousers?

Yes, a free pair of kneepads is included with these trousers. For full compliance with EN 14404:2004+A1:2010 Type 2 Level 0, they should be used in combination with the Portwest S156 kneepads.

What does the 'high rise back waistband' mean?

This refers to the back of the waistband being cut higher than the front, providing increased coverage and comfort when bending or performing tasks that involve stretching.

Can the leg length be adjusted?

Yes, the trousers feature an adjustable leg hem, allowing you to modify the length for a personalized fit.

Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?

The poly-cotton blend offers durability and comfort. While breathable, they may be warmer than lighter-weight, single-fabric trousers in extreme heat. The stretch panels do aid ventilation and freedom of movement.

How should I care for these trousers to ensure they last?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at a medium temperature. Avoid dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking the size guide and measuring your waist and inseam. Adjust the leg hem if necessary.

Knee pads do not stay in place

Verify that you are using compatible Portwest S156 knee pads and that they are inserted correctly into the two-tier pockets. Adjust the positioning for a secure fit.

Fabric shows signs of wear prematurely

Ensure the trousers are being washed according to the care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing and drying. Check that tools in holster pockets are not causing undue abrasion.

Color fading after washing

Wash with similar colors and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use the recommended washing temperature and avoid bleach.
