FAQs
What type of knee pads are compatible with these trousers?
These trousers are designed to be worn with CORDURA® knee pads that meet EN 14404:2004 +A1:2010 specifications. It is recommended to use official Dickies CORDURA® knee pads for optimal fit and performance.
Are the knee pads included with the trousers?
No, the knee pads are sold separately. They must be purchased in addition to the trousers to utilize the kneepad pocket feature and meet safety specifications.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is a 275gm² blend consisting of 98% cotton and 2% Lycra, offering durability, comfort, and a slight stretch.
How should I wash and care for these trousers?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C on a normal cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at a medium temperature. Wash with similar colours.
What does the CORDURA® reinforcement do?
CORDURA® is a highly durable synthetic fiber used to reinforce high-wear areas such as the hem and knee pad pockets. This significantly increases the trousers' resistance to abrasion and extends their lifespan.
Are these trousers suitable for all types of work?
These trousers are ideal for trades and general work requiring durability, comfort, and protection, especially for those who kneel frequently. For extremely hot weather, the fabric weight might be a consideration.
What is the purpose of the gusseted crotch?
The gusseted crotch provides extra fabric in the crotch area, allowing for a greater range of motion and reducing stress on the seams, which enhances comfort and durability during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Dickies size chart. The 2% Lycra offers some stretch, but proper sizing is key. Consider if knee pads are inserted, which can affect fit.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Verify that you are using CORDURA® knee pads specifically designed for these trousers and that they are fully inserted into the pocket. Some minor adjustment may be needed based on your kneeling posture.
Fabric shows premature wear
While reinforced, excessive abrasion in a single spot can still cause wear. Ensure you are not dragging the fabric unnecessarily on rough surfaces. Check that the CORDURA® reinforcements are intact.
Pockets feel insufficient for tools
These trousers offer multiple pockets, including a CORDURA® cargo pocket and ruler pocket. For larger tool carrying needs, consider using a tool belt in conjunction with the trousers.
