Eight Pockets, Pre-Shaped Knees, and a Fit That Actually Works

Most cargo trousers are a compromise — either they fit well or they're practical. The Portwest KA3 KA323 manages both. Cut from a Seratex Stretch fabric — 98% cotton, 2% elastane at 280g/m² — they move with you rather than fighting against you. Whether you're on a building site, in a workshop, or crawling under machinery, these trousers keep up without feeling like you're wrapped in a tent.

Key Features:

• Stretch Fabric That Works Hard: Seratex Stretch construction — 98% cotton, 2% elastane — gives you genuine freedom of movement. Heavy enough to handle site conditions at 280g/m², flexible enough that you'll forget you're wearing workwear.
  
• Eight Pockets — All Useful: Reinforced side pockets, a zipped thigh pocket, hook-and-loop back pockets, a knife pocket, ruler pocket, and a phone pocket. Everything has a home, and nothing falls out when you're working upside down.
  
• Pre-Shaped Knees: The knee areas are shaped to how your legs actually move — no pulling, no bunching when you crouch. Open-top knee pad pockets accept Portwest S156 knee pads for proper protection on hard floors.
  
• Knee Protection Certified: When worn with the compatible S156 knee pad, these trousers meet EN 14404:2004+A1:2010 Type 2 Level 0. That's real, certified knee protection — not just padded fabric.
  
• Triple Stitched Seams: The seams won't give out after a month. Triple stitching at the stress points means these hold together through the kind of work that destroys cheaper trousers.
  
• Adjustable Leg Length: Adjustable from 31 to 33 inches, so you're not hacking the hem off on day one. Sizes run from 28 to 48 waist.
  
• Partially Elasticated Waistband: Sits comfortably whether you're standing at a bench or crouching in a confined space. No digging in during long shifts.
  
• Non-Magnetic, Nickel and Iron Free: Safe for environments where metal-free workwear is a requirement — think MRI facilities, sensitive electronics areas, or anywhere with strict magnetic field protocols.
