Product Overview
The DX4 Detachable Holster Pocket Trousers represent a significant advancement in workwear ergonomics. Designed for those who require complete freedom of movement without sacrificing durability, these trousers utilise targeted placement of dynamic 4X stretch fabrics. This technical approach ensures that whether you are climbing ladders or working in cramped spaces, the garment moves with you rather than against you. The inclusion of a high-rise back waistband provides essential coverage when bending, while the black finish ensures a professional appearance on any site.
Key Features
Dynamic 4X Stretch Fabric: The use of Titanmill Pro Stretch allows for a superior range of motion, reducing fatigue during long shifts and preventing the fabric from binding.
Detachable Holster Pockets: These offer versatile storage for tools and fixings, allowing you to remove them when not required for a more streamlined profile.
Triple-Stitched Seams: Reinforced stitching throughout the garment ensures maximum durability at stress points, significantly extending the life of the trousers in demanding environments.
Pre-bent Adjustable Knee Pad Pockets: Top-loading pockets allow for easy insertion of knee protection, while the ergonomic shape ensures the pads remain correctly positioned while you work.
Multi-functional Zip Thigh Pockets: Securely house your phone, pens, and tools with ease, ensuring essential items are always within reach.
Design & Performance
The performance of the DX440 is rooted in its sophisticated material composition. The primary fabric is a sturdy, medium-weight Titanmill Pro Stretch, composed of polyester and elastane, which provides the necessary flexibility for active work. To counter wear in high-friction areas, the trousers incorporate Titanmill Plus Ripstop panels. This polyester and cotton blend features a weft stretch that resists tearing while maintaining the garment's overall mobility.
Further reinforcement is provided by CorePro panels, a high-performance blend of nylon and elastane. This combination of materials ensures that the trousers remain breathable yet incredibly tough. The ergonomic design is complemented by side elastication at the waist, providing a secure and comfortable fit throughout the day.
Why No Customisation?
These trousers are sold as a technical garment without customisation options. The complex construction, featuring multiple stretch panels, holster pockets, and reinforced ripstop sections, makes them unsuitable for standard embroidery or heat-seal branding. Attempting to customise these areas could compromise the integrity of the technical fabrics or interfere with the placement of the holster pockets and knee pad compartments. We recommend focusing on your upper body layers for company branding.
Use Cases
These trousers are ideal for professionals in construction, engineering, and maintenance who require high-utility clothing. They are particularly well-suited for tradespeople who spend significant time kneeling or moving between different heights, thanks to the integrated knee pad pockets and flexible fabric. The detachable pockets also make them an excellent choice for workers who transition between heavy-duty site work and more formal client meetings.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these trousers feature a high-rise back waistband and side elastication, which provides a more tailored and secure fit than standard utility trousers. If you plan to wear these with thermal base layers during colder months, ensure you account for the additional volume. For maximum safety and compliance with EN 14404 standards, we recommend using these trousers in conjunction with compatible S156 knee pads.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical properties of the 4X stretch and ripstop fabrics, it is vital to follow the care instructions precisely. Maintaining the elasticity of the fibres is key to the garment's performance over time.
We recommend a mild domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Using a mild process helps to preserve the synthetic fibres and prevents premature breakdown of the elastane components, which could lead to the trousers losing their shape.
Do not use bleach under any circumstances. Bleach is a harsh chemical that will weaken the polyester and nylon fibres, significantly reducing the tear resistance of the ripstop panels and causing discolouration. Similarly, dry cleaning should be avoided as the solvents used can damage the specialised fabric finishes.
Drip line drying is the preferred method for this garment. Do not tumble dry, as the intense heat of a dryer can cause the elasticated elements to become brittle and snap, ruining the stretch performance. Finally, do not iron these trousers; the synthetic material composition is sensitive to direct heat, which can lead to melting or permanent damage to the fabric surface.
