Full details
The Snickers LiteWork Trousers are designed for adult males working in hot conditions, offering a lightweight, quick-dry fabric for enhanced comfort. While they provide excellent flexibility and tool access through features like detachable holster pockets and a ruler pocket, users should be aware that the lighter fabric may offer less abrasion resistance in extremely rough environments compared to heavier-duty workwear.

FAQs
Are knee pads included with these trousers?
No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature a KneeGuard® system designed for compatibility with Snickers Workwear knee pads that meet EN 14404 standards, which must be purchased separately.
What is the main benefit of the quick-dry fabric?
The quick-dry fabric is beneficial for working in hot conditions as it allows moisture to evaporate rapidly, keeping the wearer cooler and more comfortable.
Can I wear these trousers in cold weather?
While the trousers are lightweight and breathable, they can be layered with thermal base layers for use in colder conditions. However, their primary design is for warmer climates.
How durable are the CORDURA® reinforced areas?
CORDURA® is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and abrasion resistance, making the reinforced areas (rear, pockets, tool holders) significantly more durable than the main fabric.
How do I wash and care for the trousers?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on medium. Do not dry clean.
What does EN 14404 certification mean for the KneeGuard® system?
EN 14404 is a European standard for protective clothing, specifically concerning knee protection. Certification indicates that the trousers, when used with compliant knee pads, offer certified protection for kneeling work.
Can the holster pockets be worn without the trousers?
The holster pockets are designed to attach to specific points on the trousers. They are not intended to be worn independently without the trousers.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The stretch panels should provide flexibility, but a size too small will limit movement.
Detachable holster pockets are difficult to attach/remove.
Ensure the fastening mechanism is clean and free from debris. Align the pockets carefully before attempting to attach or detach.
Quick-dry feature seems less effective.
Ensure fabric softener was not used during washing, as this can clog the fabric's pores. Wash at the recommended temperature and allow adequate airflow during drying.
Seams feel uncomfortable during movement.
Verify the correct size. Ensure trousers are worn the right way round and that no internal tags are causing irritation. Consider a brief break-in period for the fabric to soften.
