Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or loose despite correct size.
Adjust the fit using the part-elasticated waistband. If the issue persists, consider if a different leg length or waist size might be more suitable for your build.
Knee pad pockets are not effective.
Ensure you are using standard-sized knee pads that fit snugly within the pockets. Check that the knee pads are positioned correctly for your kneeling needs.
Fabric pilling or showing premature wear.
Review washing and drying instructions. Avoid washing with abrasive items and opt for lower heat settings during drying. Consider using knee pads to protect the fabric in high-wear areas.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
