What material are the Portwest Wx3 Work Holster Trousers made from?
They are made from a durable Kingsmill Canvas fabric, consisting of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton Canvas with a peach finish, weighing 280g.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The trousers feature a total of 12 pockets, including two secure swing-away holster pockets.
Are kneepads included with the trousers?
Yes, a free pair of kneepads is included with this trouser. For certified EN 14404 protection, ensure they are used in conjunction with compatible Portwest kneepads.
What does 'two-tier knee pad pockets' mean?
This means the knee pad pockets have two levels, allowing you to adjust the height of the kneepad for a better fit and optimal protection depending on your stance and task.
How do I adjust the leg length?
The trousers have an adjustable hem, which allows you to customize the leg length for a perfect fit.
What is the benefit of the stretch panelling?
The innovative stretch panelling is located in key movement areas, providing excellent comfort and flexibility, allowing for greater freedom of movement during work activities.
What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash at 60°C (140°F). Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Iron at a medium heat setting. Do not dry clean.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive despite correct size
Ensure stretch panelling is not bunched up. Try adjusting the fit at the waist and leg hem. The fabric may also require a few wears to fully break in.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Check that you are using the correct size Portwest kneepads and that they are inserted into the appropriate tier of the pocket for your height and kneeling position.
Seams coming undone
While triple-stitched, heavy stress can damage seams. Contact customer support if premature seam failure occurs, as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Color fading after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely, washing at the recommended temperature and avoiding harsh detergents. Ironing on the reverse side can also help preserve color.
