The Portwest Combat Trousers in Black are designed for male professionals requiring durable, functional workwear. Their key benefit is the rugged construction combined with ample storage, ensuring reliability and convenience on demanding jobs. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit and material, which is optimized for work environments. These trousers feature a blend of modern design and traditional workwear elements, built from tough, pre-shrunk Kingsmill fabric, offering six pockets for secure storage, reinforced seams for longevity, and UPF 40+ protection.

They are made from Kingsmill fabric, a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, weighing 245g.
The Combat Trousers feature eight pockets in total, including two back patch pockets, side pockets, and cargo pockets.
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.
Yes, the trousers are equipped with dedicated knee pad pockets designed to accommodate standard knee pads for added protection.
The fabric has a UPF 40+ rating, meaning it blocks at least 98% of UV radiation.
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.
Bartacking is a sewing technique that uses reinforced stitches to strengthen areas prone to tearing or strain, such as pocket openings and seams.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The half-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort and mobility.
Consider using smaller pouches or bags within the larger pockets for very small items, or ensure items are fully tucked in.
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.
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.
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.
Compatibility: The primary function is workwear. The knee pad pockets are designed to fit standard knee pads sold separately or compatible with Portwest knee pad inserts.
Care Instructions: To maintain the durability and appearance of your Combat Trousers:
