FAQs
What is the main advantage of the stretch fabric?
The main advantage of the stretch fabric is enhanced comfort and freedom of movement, allowing for unrestricted bending, kneeling, and stretching, which is crucial for demanding physical work, especially in hot conditions.
Are the holster pockets always necessary?
No, the holster pockets are detachable. You can remove them for tasks where you don't need to carry many tools, making the trousers lighter and less bulky, or reattach them for maximum tool accessibility.
What is the KneeGuard® system for?
The KneeGuard® system is designed to provide optimal knee protection when used with compatible knee pads, certified according to EN 14404. It ensures comfort and safety during tasks that involve prolonged kneeling.
What material are the trousers primarily made of?
The main fabric is a blend of 84% Polyamide and 16% Elastane, weighing 193g/m². Key reinforcement areas, including the rear and pockets, are made from 100% Polyamide CORDURA® for added durability.
Can these trousers be worn in very cold weather?
While the fabric is breathable and quick-drying, these trousers are optimized for hot conditions. For colder weather, layering might be necessary, or consider a heavier-duty trouser model.
What sizes are available?
These trousers are available for adult males up to a 47-inch waist. Please check the specific product listing for the full range of available sizes.
How do I maintain the quick-dry and stretch properties?
Follow the care instructions carefully, washing at 40°C and avoiding fabric softeners. Regular washing and proper drying will help maintain the fabric's performance characteristics.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too warm despite being 'LiteWork'
Ensure all vents and stretch panels are not obstructed. Check that the fabric is clean; dirt and grime can reduce breathability. Consider that individual heat tolerance varies.
Holster pockets not staying attached
Verify that the attachment mechanism on both the trousers and the pockets is clean and free from debris. Ensure the fastening system is fully engaged according to its design.
Reduced water resistance or quick-dry performance
Fabric softeners can impede performance. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding softeners. Re-treat with a suitable water-repellent spray if performance significantly degrades over time.
Knee pads not fitting properly in KneeGuard® pockets
Ensure you are using knee pads that are certified to EN 14404. Check the dimensions of your knee pads against the pocket size. Adjust the position of the knee pad within the pocket for optimal comfort and coverage.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Enhanced mobility and flexibility from stretch panels.
- Durable construction with CORDURA® reinforcements in key areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves attaching or detaching the holster pockets as needed. Ensure the pockets are securely fastened before commencing work. The KneeGuard® system requires compatible knee pads (sold separately) to be inserted into the designated knee pockets for full certified protection.

- Iron on a medium setting.
- Do not dry clean.
Always refer to the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's performance and breathability.
