FAQs
What is the fabric composition of the Portwest C701 Combat Trousers?
The trousers are constructed from Kingsmill polycotton fabric, which is 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a weight of 245g.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The Portwest C701 Combat Trousers feature a total of six pockets, including easy-access cargo pockets, all designed for ample and secure storage.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
While durable, the polycotton blend might be warmer than lighter fabrics. They offer UPF 40+ protection, which is beneficial outdoors, but consider ventilation needs in extreme heat.
How do I wash and care for these trousers?
They can be machine washed at 60°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on medium, and iron on a medium setting. Close hook and loop fasteners before washing.
What does 'pre-shrunk' mean for this garment?
Pre-shrunk means the fabric has undergone a treatment process to reduce shrinkage after washing, ensuring the trousers maintain their size and fit.
What is the UPF rating of the fabric?
The fabric has a UPF 40+ rating, meaning it blocks over 98% of harmful UV radiation.
Where are the reinforced seams located?
Reinforced seams are integrated at all stress points of the garment to enhance durability and prevent wear in high-tension areas.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel stiff after initial wear.
This is normal for the rugged Kingsmill fabric. Wear them for a few days to allow the fabric to soften and conform to your body. Regular washing will also help break in the material.
Hook and loop fasteners are not closing securely.
Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. Gently brush or clean the surfaces if necessary. Always fasten them before washing to maintain their integrity.
Seams appear to be fraying after moderate use.
While reinforced, extreme stress can cause minor fraying. Ensure the garment is not over-stressed and refer to the care instructions for washing to prevent unnecessary wear.
Colour fading after several washes.
Wash with similar colours and avoid excessive bleaching agents. Following the recommended washing temperature and drying settings will help preserve the colour.
