FAQs
What material are the Portwest C701 Combat Trousers made of?
They are constructed from a durable Kingsmill polycotton fabric, consisting of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, weighing 245g.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The trousers feature a total of six pockets, including easy-access cargo pockets, all designed for ample storage.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
The polycotton blend offers durability and comfort, but may be warmer than lighter fabrics in extreme heat. The fabric does offer UPF 40+ protection.
How should I care for these trousers?
Machine wash at 60°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on medium heat, and iron on medium heat. Professional dry cleaning is also an option.
What does 'pre-shrunk' mean for these trousers?
It means the fabric has undergone a process to minimize shrinkage after washing, helping the garment maintain its size and fit.
Do the pockets have secure closures?
Yes, the multiple utility pockets feature hook and loop flaps for added security.
What is the UPF rating of the fabric?
The fabric has a UPF 40+ rating, which means it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect after first wash
The trousers are pre-shrunk. If sizing is off, it may be due to initial shrinkage. Consult the size chart again before purchasing subsequent pairs and consider if a different size is needed for your specific fit preference.
Pockets not staying closed securely
Ensure the hook and loop fasteners are clean and free of debris. If the hook and loop is worn, gently brush it or consider a replacement if significantly degraded.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Using a fabric softener during the wash cycle can help soften the material, but ensure it's compatible with workwear fabrics.
