Trousers

Which work trousers suit your trade?

If you kneel a lot, choose trousers with knee pockets and removable knee pads to EN 14404. If you carry a lot of tools, holster pockets that tuck away when you get in the car are a real benefit. And if you're on the move all day, you'll immediately notice the difference stretch panels in the crotch and knee area make.

The fabric determines the lifespan: 240 to 280 grams per square metre is fine for general work, while heavier canvas of 300 grams or more lasts longer on rough surfaces. Reinforcements of Cordura or Oxford on the knees and pocket edges extend that even further.

Size and leg length

Measure your waist where you'll actually wear the trousers, and your inseam from crotch to ankle. Many models are available in short, regular and long lengths. If the knee pocket isn't at the right height, the leg length is probably wrong. There are also women's models with an adapted cut.

Veelgestelde vragen

Do I need work trousers with knee pockets?

If you regularly kneel, such as with flooring, installation or tiling work, trousers with knee pockets and removable knee pads to EN 14404 are a big improvement. Just make sure the pockets sit at the right height for your height: incorrectly placed knee protection works against you.

What leg lengths are work trousers available in?

Many models come in short, regular and long leg lengths, marked S, R and T or with a length measurement in centimetres. If your length isn't available, you can have the trousers taken in; for certified clothing this must be done by a specialised company to avoid losing the certification.

What does a Cordura or Oxford reinforcement mean?

These are extra-strong fabric panels at the spots that wear fastest: knees, pocket edges and the bottom of the legs. They make the trousers slightly heavier but significantly extend their lifespan, especially for work on rough surfaces.

Wat is het verschil tussen polykatoen en canvas?

Polykatoen is een mengsel van polyester en katoen dat licht aanvoelt, snel droogt en zijn kleur goed vasthoudt, wat het geschikt maakt voor dagelijks gebruik. Canvas is een dichter geweven, zwaardere stof die beter bestand is tegen scheuren en schuren. Kies canvas voor zwaar werk op ruwe ondergronden en polykatoen als comfort en draaggemak voorop staan.

Hoe pas je een nieuwe werkbroek het best?

Pas de broek bij ontvangst binnen, over je gewone kleding, zodat hij schoon blijft. Kniel en buk een paar keer om te controleren of de kniezakken op de juiste hoogte zitten en of de broek in de taille niet afzakt. Staand hoort de pijp net over je schoen te vallen zonder over de grond te slepen. Laat de labels zitten tot je zeker bent van je keuze.
