Was dubious about buying, a bag, of the beeswift mp1 gloves, as I was actually looking for an alternate brand, I've had gloves before that were all bundled together, where the rubber was too hard and the material like an old rope, the company sent them out really fast delivery, individually wrapped, premium gloves, really happy, top drawer, as these will be stored in the garage, no damp or spider issues, big thanks to George @ gloves & stuff.

Softshell Comfort With a Full Tradesman's Toolkit Built In
Most work trousers make you pick between flexibility and storage. The Portwest DX450 gives you both. These slim fit softshell holster trousers from Portwest's DX4 collection use a 315g three-layer stretch fabric that moves with you, keeps the wind out and shrugs off showers. They're built for carpenters, roofers, landscapers and anyone on site who spends the day kneeling, climbing and reaching.
Key Features:
-
3-Layer RipShell Softshell: A 92% polyester, 8% elastane ripstop bonded to a 100% polyester micro fleece. It's breathable and windproof, so you stay warm on exposed scaffolds without overheating when the work gets physical.
-
PFAS Free Water Repellent Finish: Portwest's Texpel Splash Eco finish makes rain bead up and roll off. The datasheet quotes 8,000mm waterproofing and 3,000g/m²/24hr breathability. These are water resistant trousers, though, so in a proper downpour you'll still want waterproof overtrousers.
-
14 Pockets: You get zip off holster pockets, zip thigh pockets, a rule pocket, a phone pocket and several side zip compartments. There's also a hammer loop, so you're not walking back to the van every ten minutes.
-
Knee Protection: The knee pad pockets are pre-bent, top loading and two-tier. With Portwest S156 knee pads fitted, the trousers are certified to EN 14404:2004 + A1:2010 Type 2 Level 0.
-
4-Way Stretch Where It Counts: Portwest places stretch panels where you need the most movement. A high-rise back waistband with side elastication stays put when you bend or crouch, so your back stays covered.
-
Tough Construction: Every seam is triple-stitched and every stress point is bartacked. A crotch gusset takes the strain off the seams, and CorePro nylon and Titanmill Plus ripstop contrast panels add durability.
-
Practical Details: Webbing belt loops and a D ring for keys or ID. They're machine washable at 30°C.
-
Sizing: Waist sizes run from W28 to W48 in black. The regular 31" leg lets down to a tall 33", so taller workers don't have to order a separate size.
The Portwest DX450 combines softshell comfort, 14 pockets and EN 14404 knee protection when you fit S156 pads. The clean black DX4 styling also looks right off site, so you won't feel the need to change before the drive home. Order your size today and get kitted out properly.
