  • About Thermal Work Trousers

    Thermal work trousers and base layers are perfect for cold environments, such as the Highlands, at sea, ports and airports, and for refrigerated warehousing. 

    Thermals work by either trapping heat against the body in fine fibres, or by adding a thick layer of insulation and padding to their lining (think thicker, ski style salopettes and trousers). Consider if your thermal trousers will need waterproofing, and if windproofing is a necessary factor. Many thermal trousers can be worn under water and windproof over-trousers to double up on protection. The trousers you choose should still allow adequate breathability so you do not overheat, and many use stretch fabrics so as not to compromise mobility.

    When choosing thermal work trousers, consider whether high-visibility (hi-vis) features are required for compliance in your industry. Some thermal garments also meet EN 342 standards for protective clothing in cold environments, ensuring effective insulation. For your peace of mind, our range of thermal work trousers comes from reputable brands we have chosen that are known for delivering high-quality products.

    Knee pads

    If you have to kneel frequently for your role, ensure you choose 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 materials that stand out through 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's kept safe and secure while you work on site.

    Visibility

    If you need to be seen on-site at all times of day or you 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. In a very dirty environment, 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 carry that tool safely and securely. 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 you 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's essential to be able to carry nails, screws, or even tools in holster pockets on your trousers. This 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 as you move and flex.

    Features

    What are the features that are needed as part of your profession? Do you need a trouser with knee pads, tool loops, four-way stretch, or more than one feature?

    Fit

    What fit is best for your work environment? Do you need to wear a slim fit to avoid getting caught on machinery, or would a cargo fit be better? This is also often down to personal preference. Choose a fit you find comfortable and accommodating to your body type.

    Maintenance

    Consider the best material for your workplace. Will you need a pair of heavy-duty work trousers or something lighter? How easily will it get dirty, and how often will it need washing? Consider purchasing two pairs if you work in dirty environments, and your trousers need to be washed daily or if you work long hours or several days back-to-back.

    Breathability

    If you work in a hot environment, or in a particularly exerting profession, consider the breathability of your workwear. Remember, the most breathable alternative is a pair of navy blue work shorts!

    Water resistance

    Do you need a waterproof or water-resistant pair of trousers? Be sure to choose a pair of trousers that will protect you from rain or spills.
