Key Considerations When Purchasing Trousers For Painting
When buying painter's trousers, consider the following to ensure you you get the best pair of trousers for your needs.
Knee Pads
If you have to kneel frequently for your role, ensure you get trousers with knee pad pockets and suitable knee pads from the same brand.
Brand
Always buy your trousers from a trusted supplier where you know the clothing will be appropriately certified, responsibly sourced, and made from quality materials that stand out with their exceptional quality.
Durability
For trades that give their trousers a hard time, such as roofers, builders and steel fabricators, trousers with Cordura or denim wear panels will stand up to wear better than lightweight trousers without wear panels.
Stretch fabrics
If you bend and flex a lot while working, then you should consider the benefits that stretch fabrics can offer by allowing you to move with more freedom when working.
Phone Pocket
Many of our work trousers feature special pockets for your phone, ensuring that it is safe and secure while you work on site.
Visibility
If you need to be seen on-site at all times of day or work around heavy equipment and moving vehicles and machinery, then Hi Visibility trousers are what you need.
Work Environment
Carefully consider the work environment you wear your trousers in, if you wear them in a very dirty environment, then a darker colour will look cleaner for far longer. Other critical considerations include flame resistance and resistance against arc flash hazards.
Feature Pockets
If you have a specific tool you carry constantly, make sure your chosen trousers feature a pocket to safely and securely carry that tool. This can make you work more efficiently as it removes the temptation to put tools down, which leads to them getting lost on site.
Slim Fit
If you don't like loose-fitting trousers or need slim-fitting trousers to prevent snags and hang-ups on site, then our range of slim-fit trousers is a must-have.
Holster Pockets
For some applications, it is essential to be able to carry nails, screws or even tools in holster pockets on your trousers, it prevents you from needing to take a box or pack around. When using holsters to carry tools such as pliers and screwdrivers, they splay out, preventing tools from digging in when you move and flex.
