The Portwest ESX11 ES1 Essential Work Trouser is a hard-wearing polycotton work trouser for kneeling work and jobs that need plenty of storage. Bottom-loading knee pad pockets hold inserts in place, and seven pockets keep tools and small items to hand.
An anti-scratch build with a concealed button closure keeps metal parts covered, which helps protect vehicles, furniture and finished surfaces. The trousers are also metal detector friendly, and hook-and-loop hem fastenings and an extendable leg let you adjust the length to suit.
