I've had the electricians trousers from B&Q which i liked BUT for some strange reason they stopped selling them. Then I tried the dewalt trousers, but they are too heavy. Now it's the snickers duraTwill work trousers from screwfix £42, a little expensive but the best i've tried.

Had Dikies Delta's for the past 12 months and can't fault them at £20 a pop and they have an elastic part to the waist band which is good for the old winter spread

Hello all, first post so be gentle

Used this forum chat as a guide to getting some new kit. I picked up a pair of Dewalts trousers which I like but I also got a pair of Fristads trousers which I found on this site...

Kneepad Work Trousers | Durable Work Pants | Protective workwear

I'd never heard of Fristads but they're best I've had in 20 years of work + I got free knee pads.

i have tried many but have found snickers to be the best, i have short ones 3/4 length ones, trousers thick pair and a light weight summer pair, they have the longest lasting material and the pockets you can put tools in and still sit down, climb and move around in. i tried dickies but found them to tight and i couldn't get my hand in the back pocket to get the wallet out.( this only worked once down the cafe)

i went into dickies last weekend for a new pair of trousers and boots, found a bargain pair of boots on offer 18 quid! and i got another pair of £12 50 trousers (red hawk) they do me! but found a very good pair for 50 quid called Eisenhower Pro Kevlar (apparently) and they've got like re-enforced heavy duty but flexible material on the knees:
New Dickies Eisenhower Pro Kevlar Multi-Pocket Trousers EH30000 workwear
you name it, they've got it, down do zip off pockets on the front to hammer ring holster thing. they looked very good quality and for the same price as an average pair of snickers? the only reason i didnt get them was because they start at medium length and im short lol. even if i had them taken up, the knee pads would be too low. my gf's dad bought them however and went on about how the knee pads were in just the right place (sometimes they just miss my knee if they're too low.
anyway thats enough ramble about a flippin pair of trousers! but do have a look, i was impressed
cheers

snickers all the way here also t shirts coats fleeces thermos mug etc had blaklader but find them tight fitting, also had helly hansen, previous company supplied dickies action trousers from screwfix which i think on some have kneepad pockets

 

[Snapster]

personally i always find snickers always go round the crotch area....

 

[andekoch]

just bought a pair of dickies eisenhowers to see how they do. seem a good fit, like the 'tool flap' that goes into the pocket when not in use, nicer than tools in pockets.

Hi all
Anyone tried scruffs in screwfix ? the pro look good might get some.

I've got the Bosch Workwear ones, found them on ebay they have cordura knees which seem indestructible.

They look good as well !
