Snickers

[D Skelton]

I'm looking for a new pair of Snickers work trousers. This afternoon I went into my local work clothes shop and saw a pair of the new Snickers XTR Craftsman work trousers and was blown away! They feel amazing, they look amazing and they seem tough as hell! They're perfect except for one thing, the price! £114 + £13 for the knee pads and a tenner for a nice new belt, essentially £140 all in!

It's a lot of dollar but my question is are they worth it? Should I splash the cash?

your earning too much ;-)

 

[telectrix]

you can buy 4 pairs of dewalt for that and they come with a benny hat as well.

They look like the floor layer ones , city's sell em for about 70ish

£114 for a pair of trous, no chance!!

£40 is too much IMO but I'll pay that much, no more.

HAHA! I assure you, I'm not! I just have expensive taste

Naa, they're not, the floor layer ones were in there to. Kevlar enforced knees but the rest felt really really thin!

If you buy me a pair, I would be happy enough to review them. :cheesy:

I'm using dickies GDT210 trousers (In khaki because I'm ahead of the fashion trend you see) and I'd easily recommend them. They're made of tough stuff and the knee patches are very hard wearing (had them for about 4 months and the material hasn't even faded). The knee pads are worth every penny too

Snickers are waaaay over priced in my opinion

get some nuts,or there will be pain fool grrrrrrrrrrrrr,lol,how much for work strides id want them to walk me upstairs for that,i use scruffs £35,i did see the same pair in jewsons or similar place the other day for £27 inc vat,and a nice tote toolbag with flip lid,but couldnt treat myself.

 

[robsparky1975]

Just had a look at picture and they look identical to scruffs with the flappy pockets and knee pad pockets,and they are tough aswell

 

[SparkyDips]

DAMN!! i thought this was a thread all about chocolate!! :furious3:

I got a pair of Scruffs and the zip has broken after a few months.

I bought a pair of snickers, £50odd and that was two years ago and they don't even look old. I've just bought another pair

I buy the Snickers 3312 trousers. You can get two pairs for the price of one of the pairs of trousers you're looking at. The Snickers gear is a bit on the expensive side but when my last two pairs of Snickers trousers saw 3 whole years of use I think it was a good investment. Comfortable too and come in enough sizes to satisfy the uber lanky to a shorty like me.

Snickers 3312 and 3212 duratwill here also tried all others either don't fit properly or break

I got my work trousers from my local workwear and PPE shop - they were about £30 a pair + kneepads - they've got enough pockets to carry the tools I need for the job in hand, without encouraging me to fill them up so much they do my back in.
They're predominately dark blue, but 2 of the 3 pairs I own are now covered in glue, sealant, paint, and other 'industry-related stains', although I'm not that fussed because they didn't cost me A HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN QUID!

 

[jpm646]

Look see if there's a local arco workware shop near u there's one near me and every other month it has 50% or 25% sales

Most of the snickers stuff is top notch and its all I'd use with regards to trousers. Not at £140 mind!!

There was a range that if you ripped it in anyway it would fall apart in no time. No idea of the range number, but it was the lighter version.

Waste band permitting I'd expect to get 5+ years out of 2 pairs of snickers. Knee pads a year is good. I have 4 pairs, 1 brand spanking, 1 at 2 years, 1 at 5 years and one at at least 7 years. All in great nick other than a little wear and tear.

these are very simular ! more for your money

[needasparks]

I much prefere the snickers to other makes as i find the knee pads being just right when kneeing, perhaps i have funny legs but all the others ride up so most of the pad no where near where it should be.

Come to think of it, yes i have funny legs

 

[supasparxs]

the words "money" and "Sense" spring to mind

DAMN!! i thought this was a thread all about chocolate!! :furious3:

if it was still called a Marathon, there would be no confusion

 

[rich.250]

Snickers all the way
Call me tight but I have a pair that are four years old, worn daily(till they smell too much lol)
And still like new

 

[moondog]

snickers do for me all the time,handy sizes(especially if you are as wide as you are tall!)
