FAQs
What is the main benefit of the reinforced back pockets?
The reinforced back pockets are designed to withstand heavier use and potential abrasion, offering increased durability and protection for items stored within them.
Are these shorts suitable for all types of work?
These shorts are best suited for trades, outdoor work, and roles where durability and practical storage are key, particularly in warmer weather. They might not be appropriate for more formal or safety-critical environments requiring specific PPE.
What is the fabric composition?
The shorts are made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, with a fabric weight of 260gsm.
How should I care for these work shorts to ensure longevity?
Machine wash at 60°C, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a medium setting. Avoid bleaching. Washing similar colors together is recommended.
Do these shorts have extra pockets for tools?
Yes, they feature holster pockets designed for convenient and secure tool storage, in addition to reinforced back pockets and standard cargo pockets.
What does 'triple stitched in stress areas' mean?
This means that the seams in high-stress areas, such as the crotch and pocket attachments, are sewn with three rows of stitching to significantly enhance their strength and prevent them from splitting during demanding use.
Are there other color or size options available for the Redhawk Pro Work Cargo Combat Shorts?
While this guide focuses on the Black, 46 UK waist size (WD802), Dickies offers the Redhawk range in various colors (like Beige and Green) and sizes. Please check product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Seams feel weak after prolonged use
While triple-stitched, heavy-duty use can eventually stress seams. For minor fraying, consider professional repair. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
Pockets feel restrictive when full
The holster and back pockets are designed for secure storage. Overfilling may cause temporary restriction. Distribute heavier items or use larger main pockets.
Fabric feels too warm on very hot days
The 260gsm fabric offers durability but may retain more heat than lighter materials. Ensure good ventilation and stay hydrated. For extreme heat, consider lighter-weight work shorts if available.
