Full details
Designed for adults, these Herock Socres trousers offer exceptional durability and a comfortable fit, making them ideal for demanding work environments. Their primary benefit lies in the extensive pocket system and 2-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement. A potential caveat is the need for specific knee protection for certified EN ISO 14404 compliance. Key features include multiple storage pockets, water-repellent fabric, and an extendable hem.

FAQs
What material are these trousers made of?
The main fabric is a blend of 57% cotton, 41% polyester, and 2% elastane (275g/m²). The reinforcement fabric is 100% Oxford polyester 600D.
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are not included. They must be purchased separately to achieve the EN ISO 14404 certification and for enhanced knee protection.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Herock to measure your waist accurately. The extendable hem also offers some adjustability.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The trousers have a water-repellent surface coating on the reinforcement fabric, which helps repel light moisture. They are suitable for damp conditions but are not fully waterproof.
What does '2-way stretch' mean?
This means the fabric stretches in two directions (typically width-wise and slightly lengthwise), providing greater comfort and freedom of movement compared to non-stretch fabrics.
What are the specific certifications for these trousers?
They are certified EN ISO 13688:2013 (General requirements for protective clothing). When combined with specific HEROCK® knee protection, they are also certified EN ISO 14404:2004+A1:2010 Type 2 Level 0.
How should I care for the water-repellent coating?
Wash inside out at 40°C, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low. Crucially, avoid fabric softeners, as they can diminish the coating's effectiveness over time. Re-apply DWR treatment periodically if needed.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent coating seems less effective.
Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Knee pads do not fit securely in the pockets.
Ensure you are using the correct HEROCK® knee protection models (21MI0901 or 22MTR2102) as specified for certification. Check that the knee pad is inserted correctly and fully within the pocket.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and avoid harsh detergents. Ironing on a low setting as per instructions can help restore fabric feel.
Seams feel tight during movement.
The 2-way stretch fabric is designed for flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. If the issue persists, consider the possibility of a specific fit preference rather than a product defect.
