The Portwest DX456 DX4 Craft Detachable Holster Trousers are men’s work trousers for active jobs that mean kneeling, climbing and carrying tools. The 4-way stretch fabric moves with you in every direction, and air vents with ventilation channels help release heat during physical work.
Storage is the standout. There are 12 pockets in total, and the holster pockets zip off, so you can carry tools at your hip when needed and remove them for lighter tasks. Top-loading knee pad pockets take the work out of fitting and adjusting knee pads.
