PPE & WORKWEAR
warehousing, heavy and light industries as well as hazardous workplaces, Snickers Workwear has a pair of trousers to suit and kneepads for protection – for all shapes and sizes.
In what is probably the most groundbreaking work trouser innovation, the brand has now launched the world’s first built-in certified kneepads which are completely integrated into a pair of Snickers Workwear’s premium stretch work trousers – the unique AllroundWork, Stretch Trousers with Capsulized Kneepads and Holster Pockets. The result of an intensive research and development process that has spanned the last three years, they deliver low-profile, comfortable impact protection – tested, performance validated and certified to exacting International Standards. These new work trousers are an innovative combination of cutting-edge sportswear technology coupled with well-established workwear know-how to suit craftsmen and women who are constantly on the move and want the comfort, flexibility and durability of welded-into-place, certified knee protection.
BUILDING CAPSULIZED KNEEPADS Designed and engineered in partnership with YBC, the Capsulized kneepad components comfortably deliver effective penetration protection and impact absorption for the wearer.
A durable CORDURA stretch covering provides external fabric durability. It integrates with the first performance layer of high-density foam which delivers maximum protection. This combines further with a shield of Ortholite comfort foam technology that’s highly shock absorbent.
“TROUSERS AS A FUNCTIONAL, PRACTICAL, GARMENT CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE WARRIOR EQUESTRIAN SOCIETIES OF EASTERN EUROPE AND ASIA MINOR AS FAR BACK AS THE SIXTH CENTURY BC.”
Comfort and protection are further enhanced by a foam comfort layer for pressure release when working while kneeling. Finally, there’s an inner polyester fabric which seals the outer protection layers onto the trouser leg and provides a comfortable surface between the wearer’s knee and the kneepad itself.
It’s effectively a capsulized layer cake with a number of protection layers that work with each other to dissipate the energy created by the impact of working on your knees or if you accidentally bump them in and around the workplace.
MORE TROUSER HISTORY IN THE MAKING It’s widely accepted that the long-term effects of knee injuries and the impact of working on your knees can cause of a lifetime of discomfort and restricted movement. Yet history has shown that properly designed

trousers have an important part to play in delivering comfort, efficiency and wellbeing in physical activities.
The design technology in work trousers has developed considerably since Strauss’ first purpose-built workwear for miners. But while factors like durability and functionality have been the only drivers the design of Work Trousers for the last 170 years, Snickers Workwear’s latest innovation takes the trouser design and development process to a new level.
Nicole Rimér, Head of Innovation at Snickers Workwear, explained: “We have set out to solve a common frustration for workers who are constantly moving around; standing up and kneeling down. Now thanks to our groundbreaking Capsulized Kneepads, they can get all the comfort and freedom of movement they want and still have the practical knee protection they need.”
