Product Information
Full details
The Dickies GDT Premium Kneepad Work Trousers (WD4901) are designed for adult males in demanding work environments requiring durable and functional legwear. Their key benefit is the integration of CORDURA® reinforcement in critical areas, offering superior abrasion resistance and longevity. A potential caveat for some users might be the 98% cotton, 2% lycra material blend, which offers comfort but may require specific care for optimal performance in very wet conditions. These trousers offer a range of practical pockets for tool storage, reinforced knee pad pockets for added protection, and a comfortable gusset at the crotch for ease of movement.

FAQs
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, the CORDURA® knee pads are sold separately. They need to be purchased to use the integrated kneepad pockets for protection.
What material are the trousers made of?
The trousers are made from a blend of 98% cotton and 2% lycra, with CORDURA® reinforcement in high-wear areas.
How do I find the correct waist size?
Refer to standard men's waist sizing. The specific size (e.g., 36) corresponds to the waist measurement in inches or UK sizing.
Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?
The cotton blend provides breathability, making them suitable for many conditions. However, for extremely high temperatures, consider the breathability of layered clothing.
How do I clean the CORDURA® reinforcement?
The CORDURA® reinforcement can be cleaned following the same general care instructions as the rest of the trousers. Machine washing at a moderate temperature is recommended.
What is the benefit of the crotch gusset?
The gusset provides additional fabric in the crotch area, allowing for greater freedom of movement, flexibility, and reduced strain during bending, squatting, and stretching.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, the trousers are not waterproof. They are designed for durability and comfort in standard work conditions. For wet environments, consider using waterproof outer layers.
Troubleshooting
Knee pads not staying in place
Ensure you are using CORDURA® kneepads designed for these trousers and that they are fully inserted into the dedicated pockets. Check that the fit of the trousers is correct; too loose can cause pads to shift.
Reduced comfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The cotton-lycra blend offers some stretch, but proper sizing is key. Consider if additional layering underneath is causing discomfort in specific conditions.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Follow the care instructions carefully, particularly regarding washing temperature and tumble drying settings. Over-drying or using harsh detergents can sometimes lead to stiffness.
Zippers are difficult to operate
Ensure the YKK™ zipper is clear of any fabric or debris. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If issues persist, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can help lubricate the teeth.
