FAQs
What material are the Portwest Wx3 Holster Trousers made from?
They are made from a durable soft poly-cotton canvas fabric, offering high performance and wearer comfort.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The trousers feature a total of 12 pockets, including specialized ones for rules, smartphones, and detachable ID and tool pockets.
Are kneepads included with the trousers?
Yes, a free pair of kneepads is included with this trouser.
What does 'two-tier knee pad pockets' mean?
This means the pockets for kneepads have two different levels or positions, allowing you to adjust where the kneepad sits for optimal comfort and protection.
Do these trousers offer UV protection?
Yes, the fabric is rated 40+ UPF, which means it blocks 98% of UV rays.
How do I adjust the leg length?
There is an adjustable hem feature on the trousers that allows you to modify the length for a perfect fit.
What is the purpose of the high-rise back waistband?
The high-rise back waistband is designed to provide increased coverage and protection in all working positions, especially when bending or stooping.
Are these trousers suitable for all weather conditions?
The poly-cotton blend offers good durability and comfort. However, in extremely hot weather, the fabric might feel warmer than lighter synthetics. They also include reflective trim for safety.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or too loose around the waist.
The side elastic waist provides some flexibility. For a more precise fit, consult the size guide and consider if a different waist size would be more appropriate. These trousers also feature a gripper elasticated inner waistband to help secure upper garments.
Knee pads do not stay in place.
Ensure you are using the correct size kneepads and that they are fully inserted into the two-tier knee pad pockets. Experiment with the two positioning options offered by the pockets.
Leg hem is too long or too short.
Utilize the adjustable leg hem feature. Fasten the hem to your desired length using the provided adjustment points.
Difficulty accessing tools in holster pockets.
Ensure the swing-away tool pockets are properly secured and positioned. If they feel cumbersome, they can be detached if not needed for a specific task.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions, including washing inside out and not using bleach. A medium iron may help soften the fabric. Ensure the garment is not over-dried.
