Full details
These Snickers LiteWork work shorts are designed for adult males working in warm conditions. The key benefit is superior ventilation and cooling thanks to 37.5® technology, ensuring comfort throughout the day. A potential caveat is that while durable, they are lightweight and intended for less rigorous tasks compared to heavier workwear. They offer a functional design with stretch panels, quick-drying fabric, UPF 40 protection, and numerous specialized pockets for tools and essentials.

FAQs
What is 37.5® technology?
37.5® technology is an active particle technology embedded in the fabric that enhances breathability and moisture management by capturing and releasing moisture vapor. This helps to keep the wearer cool and dry.
Are these shorts suitable for heavy-duty construction work?
These shorts are designed for comfort in warm conditions and feature reinforced areas. While durable, they are lightweight and may be better suited for trades requiring more agility and less extreme wear-and-tear compared to heavy-duty trousers.
What does UPF 40 mean?
UPF 40 means the fabric provides a sun protection factor of 40, blocking approximately 97.5% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Snickers Workwear, focusing on the 'Mens Waist (UK)' measurement. The available sizes range from 44 to 64.
Can I wear these in cooler weather?
While designed for warm conditions, they can be worn in cooler weather. However, for significantly cold temperatures, layering or a different garment type would be more appropriate for insulation.
What materials are these shorts made from?
The main material is a blend of 45% polyester, 30% 37.5® polyester, and 25% cotton, with a weight of 202 g/m².
How should I clean the ID card holder?
The ID card holder is integrated within the pocket lining. Clean it gently with a damp cloth during routine washing. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel warm despite 37.5® technology
Ensure the garment is not too tight, as this can restrict airflow. Check that the fabric is clean, as heavy soiling can impede moisture transport. Verify that you are in an environment where the technology can effectively dissipate heat and moisture.
Pockets feel restrictive
Ensure items are placed correctly within the pockets. The leg pocket with bellows is designed to expand, so ensure it's not overstuffed. Check that the correct size shorts are being worn; a size too small can affect pocket accessibility.
Seam or reinforcement is fraying
Inspect the garment for excessive wear. While reinforced, extreme abrasion can eventually cause damage. Follow care instructions to prevent premature wear. Contact customer support if the defect occurred within the warranty period.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of the shorts:
- Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C or 104°F). Use a mild detergent.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach. Chlorine or oxygen-based bleaches can damage the fabric and its performance properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry in a shaded area for best results. Avoid direct, intense heat which can degrade the specialized fabric.

- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Certain chemicals used in dry cleaning can compromise the fabric's integrity.
