Listed below are some of the top features of the best workpants on the market today, and as you would expect, what features you choose depends upon the type of work you, or your employees, will be carrying out: Accommodating tools • Hammer loops

3. Although these aren’t a new feature of bulk work pants, they’re an extremely useful one, and can be used to store hammers and other tools and attachments, so that they can be accessed and used with ease and convenience. • Utility pockets Folding out from the front pockets, utility pockets can be used to store hardware, tools and any number of other items you may need to access throughout the working day. • Cargo pockets

4. Great for storing smaller, essential items in, cargo pockets are situated in the thigh area, and are very versatile. Typically, a button fastening is used to make them safe for storage, or a hook and loop. • Back pocket Although these pockets are prone to getting caught on things and ripping, you can easily find workpants on which the back pockets have been reinforced, making them just as secure and readily accessible as front or cargo pockets. • Knee pad pocket

5. Many people are required to work while on their knees, and without workpants that have added padding in this area, it can become unbearably painful and detrimental to the knees. Belt loops • Wide loops If you wear a tool belt at work, you’ll know just how bulky they can be. To address this, workpants manufacturers have made the belt loops bigger to accommodate tool belts adequately. • Sewn-on-seam loops

6. As well as being bulky, tool belts are often heavy, and if the belt loops aren’t robust enough, they can easily snap and break. Fortunately, modern workpants often have their belt loops directly sewn on to the seams of the pants, for extra durability. Reinforcements • Rivets Rivets – little pieces of round metal attached to certain areas of workpants - prevent them from tearing while you bend and flex at work, by taking on the additional weight.

7. Double and triple stitched seams Although accidental damage to your workpants while wearing them might not always be avoidable, double or even triple seam stitching can help make them last longer. Closures • Buttons Most workpants have two waist closures, and these are usually a zipper and a button, and the button is typically weightier and stronger than the buttons found on ordinary pants.

8. Zippers You’ll find some of the best work pants for men have a zipper that has a locking feature. This means that if the zipper is positioned downward, it won’t be able to move and will stay closed. The right workpants with the right features can make all the difference to a person’s productivity and of course, to their overall safety. Comfortable to wear and functional, the right workpants are a worthy investment, and, buy right, and you could see them lasting well for many years to come.
