FAQs

What material are the Portwest Combat Trousers made from?

They are made from Kingsmill fabric, a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, weighing 245g.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

The Combat Trousers feature eight pockets in total, including two back patch pockets, side pockets, and cargo pockets.

Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?

The poly-cotton blend offers durability and breathability, but they are designed for demanding work. For extremely hot weather, lighter-weight options might be considered, though these offer UPF protection.

Can I insert knee pads into these trousers?

Yes, the trousers are equipped with dedicated knee pad pockets designed to accommodate standard knee pads for added protection.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a UPF 40+ rating, meaning it blocks at least 98% of UV radiation.

How should I wash and care for these trousers?

Machine wash at 60°C, do not bleach, tumble dry normal, drip line dry, and iron at a maximum of 150°C. Professional dry cleaning is also an option.

What does 'bartacked at all stress points' mean?

Bartacking is a sewing technique that uses reinforced stitches to strengthen areas prone to tearing or strain, such as pocket openings and seams.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The half-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort and mobility.

Pockets are not secure enough for small items

Consider using smaller pouches or bags within the larger pockets for very small items, or ensure items are fully tucked in.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Follow the recommended care instructions. Using a fabric softener during the wash cycle (if compatible with your laundry detergent) might help, but avoid harsh chemical treatments.

Knee pads do not stay in place

Ensure the knee pads are the correct size for the pockets and are fully inserted. Some wearers may find it beneficial to use knee pads with straps for extra security.

  • Multiple pockets offer superior storage capacity for work essentials.
  • UPF 40+ rating provides effective sun protection for outdoor use.

  • Practical design elements like easy-access cargo pockets enhance functionality.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. For optimal fit, ensure you select the correct waist size. If using knee pads, insert them into the designated knee pad pockets from the top.
