With knees under constant pressure on site, having protection built into workwear could help make difference.
Carhartt’s Steel Work Trouser range has been designed to support knees. Made from stretch ripstop fabric with Carhartt’s Rugged Flex™ technology, the Steel Work Trousers feature articulated knees designed to make it easy to bend, squat and kneel.
Each pair of Steel Work Pants has certified Flex Cordura™ fabric kneepad pockets that meet EN 14404-4:2024 safety standards. The company says that the pockets securely hold compatible knee pads, including Carhartt’s Interoperable Knee Pads, providing cushioning against hard surfaces while helping maintain proper joint alignment when kneeling for prolonged periods.
The range also includes the Steel Ripstop Double-Front Cargo Dungarees (105074), which add additional storage with a Cordura®-extended ruler pocket, a loose bottom pocket on the left side with a secure zip section, and a zipped leg pocket for a phone.
The Steel Ripstop Double-Front Cargo Pants (105070) offer the same articulated knee design and certified kneepad compatibility but with multiple reinforced pockets for tools and everyday essentials.
