FAQs
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, the knee pads are sold separately. You will need to purchase compatible CORDURA® knee pads to use the integrated knee pad pockets.
What is the primary material of these trousers?
The trousers are made from a blend of 275gm² 98% cotton and 2% lycra, offering durability and some stretch.
What does CORDURA® reinforcement mean for durability?
CORDURA® is a highly durable fabric known for its exceptional resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs. Reinforcements in key areas significantly extend the lifespan of the trousers.
Can these trousers be worn by women?
These trousers are designed with a men's fit. While some individuals may find them suitable, a unisex or women's specific fit might be more appropriate for optimal comfort and function.
How do I ensure the knee pad pockets meet safety standards?
To meet the EN ISO 13688:2013 & EN 14404:2004 +A1:2010 specifications, you must use CORDURA® knee pads that are designed for these standards and insert them correctly into the trousers' dedicated pockets.
What is the purpose of the gusseted crotch?
The gusseted crotch is an extra panel of fabric inserted into the crotch area. It provides enhanced freedom of movement, reduces strain on the seams, and increases comfort during bending, stretching, and climbing.
How should I wash these trousers to maintain their quality?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F), do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is recommended to wash dark colors separately and inside out. Avoid fabric softeners on CORDURA® areas.
Troubleshooting
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Knee pads are uncomfortable or shift during wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct size knee pads and that they are inserted properly into the pockets. Adjust the fit as needed.
Fabric shows premature wear in specific areas.
Review your work activities to identify high-friction points. Ensure correct washing procedures are followed, as harsh detergents or incorrect drying can affect fabric integrity.
Trousers feel too warm during extended use.
Consider that the cotton-rich blend offers comfort but can retain heat. Ensure proper ventilation in your work environment or choose lighter-weight trousers for exceptionally hot conditions.
