Which work pants for which job?
Currently, various types of work pants exist on the market, making it difficult to choose, especially if you do not have the required knowledge in the field. Note, in fact, that a professional in the building or construction industry does not wear the same work trousers as a cook or a seller. And for good reason, the security requirements differ from sector to sector. the other, the same for the tools and equipment used. This is also the case for the comfort, allowing professionals to feel at ease, whatever the season, the time or the constraints of the work performed.

As for the poly cotton pants, they are designed with a fabric made of 65 to 67% polyester and 33-35% cotton. Like the first, it offers good resistance to abrasion and therefore resists time. Although economical, generally sold at attractive prices, it is however not made for the trades of welder, metal carpenter, ironworker or others related to it. He is may not be able to perform its role of protection against molten metal splashes. By elsewhere, it does not offer the same wearing comfort as cotton or cotton poly.
Stretch work pants
