I wear snickers have two pairs on rotation and haven't needed to buy any for the past 2 years got an older pair with a rip in the knee that I use for site bashing when it comes up

best and cheaprest for snickers ?

 

[Koogatubac]

Ebay mate, can get some stuff £10 cheaper which is quite good

 

[pimp]

I always found Strauss Directs clothing to be very good, German made as I recall and not too expensive.

I prefer snickers they are strong hard wearing and have good stitching so they dont pull when you catch them on something>

I have actually just had some stitching go on my Snickers, although I think they do come with a life time stitching guarentee

Another one for Strauss Direct here. I use the Es motion trousers. Most comfortable trousers I've had for a long time.

Work trousers by engelbert strauss

Can you get the Strauss ones with the pockets that hang on the side

 

[Shellis]

Snickers, had the floor layer trousers, used every day for 8 months on a building site and for crawling around servicing cars, couldn't recomend them more highly, will deffinetly re-invest in a pair when they wear out

 

[markadams]

Dewalt trousers with knee pads, Ambler steel toe cap shoes and a warm t-shirt and jumper. Dewalt trousers are great with lots of pockets.

Mark.

That's a proper good deal!
Is it a one off or the same in all stores?

I think they had a snickers thing on the week before and got too much stock in for it it makes you wonder how much profit they make at full price

Doesn't matter a jot what I wear as it all ends up covered in silicone and my trousers look like a seagulls diarrhea party. I can't justify spending 40 quid on a pair of work trousers when they only stay clean for a day. I'm actually thinking of going back to multi pocketed boiler suits and getting my logo on the back in a large size and a smaller pocket sized version on the front. The good thing about a boiler suit is I can wear reasonably good looking clothing underneath for when I've finished working. Nothing worse than walking round Asda in silicone covered trousers!

I couldn't work without knee pads now, they would seize up after a week!

Used Snickers for most of my working life but just looked at the Engelbert Strauss site and they look pretty good.
Might give them a try

I find this outfit really comfortable at the moment.

Used to wear large size boiler suit with sleeves cut off over my work stuff when I tiled, grouted and siliconed, then took it off after simples 🙂
