Our favourite summer product: work shorts with 4-way stretch, breathable and quick-drying – flexible in the heat and still built entirely for work.

·Workwear·approx. 5 min read

In brief

  • The X-Treme stretch shorts are work shorts with 4-way stretch, breathable and quick-drying.
  • Plenty of pockets including phone and folding-rule pockets, plus buttons for holster pockets; material 73 % polyamide, 17 % cotton, 10 % elastane, 220 g/m².
  • Whether shorts are permitted in your work area depends on your safety requirements – we are happy to advise you.

As soon as temperatures rise, you notice it straight away on the building site, in the workshop or on installation jobs: trousers can make the working day easier – or needlessly harder. If the fabric traps heat, restricts movement or the pockets aren't where you need them, it costs energy. That's exactly why our X-Treme stretch trousers in a work-shorts version are our summer favourite: flexible, comfortable in the heat – and still built entirely for work.

And right now there's an extra good reason to switch: with every pair of X-Treme stretch trousers you get a stretch belt worth €16 free of charge.

Why the right work shorts matter in summer

Summer heat isn't just uncomfortable – it also affects how accurately and attentively you work. When clothing sticks, chafes or is constantly "in the way", an ordinary day quickly becomes a slog.

Good summer workwear needs to do three things:

  • move with you instead of pulling
  • let air through and get rid of moisture quickly
  • offer function, so tools and accessories aren't constantly being searched for

This is exactly where the X-Treme stretch trousers show their strengths.

X-Treme stretch trousers at a glance

What makes the shorts stand out – short and clear:

  • work shorts with 4-way stretch
  • breathable & quick-drying
  • modern fit (looks smart, but wears like workwear)
  • plenty of pockets including phone and folding-rule pockets
  • buttons for holster pockets (if you want to use additional hanging pockets)
  • Material: 73 % polyamide, 17 % cotton, 10 % elastane
  • Weight: 220 g/m²

What really makes them better in the heat

4-way stretch: when your day is all about movement

Climbing, kneeling, crouching, getting in and out of the van, ladders, scaffolding, workbench – in many trades sitting down is the exception. The 4-way stretch ensures the shorts don't pull or restrict, but move cleanly with you. It sounds simple – but makes a huge difference day to day.

Breathable & quick-drying: less heat build-up

In summer, every detail that reduces heat and moisture counts. The shorts are breathable and quick-drying – practical when you work a lot in the sun, when the hall heats up, or when you simply notice that sweat is part of the job, but it doesn't have to be unpleasant.

Pockets that make sense in everyday work

Lots of pockets are only useful if they are easy to reach and don't get in the way. The X-Treme stretch trousers are designed for trades and installation work:

  • phone pocket, so your phone doesn't fall out
  • folding-rule pocket, right where you'd expect it
  • extra pockets for small parts you need all the time

The result: less searching, less fumbling, less "Where did I put it again …?".

Buttons for holster pockets: extra storage when needed

There are days when you need more right on your body (for example on installation jobs or larger building sites). And there are days when you want to travel as light as possible. With the buttons for holster pockets you stay flexible: hanging pockets on when it makes sense – off when they aren't needed.

Which teams are the X-Treme stretch trousers particularly suited to?

The shorts are a strong choice for businesses where movement, function and comfort count in summer, for example:

  • trades & construction (depending on the application)
  • installation and service teams
  • workshop & production (where shorts are permitted)
  • logistics, warehousing, delivery
  • gardening and outdoor work
  • facility and caretaker teams

Important

Whether shorts are permitted in your work area depends on your safety requirements and the application. If you briefly tell us where and how the trousers will be worn, we'll give you practical advice on whether the shorts are suitable – or whether you're better off sticking with a long version.

We currently have an offer that makes double sense in summer: with every pair of X-Treme stretch trousers you get a stretch belt worth €16 free of charge.

Why it's more than "just an extra": with stretch workwear in particular, a belt that moves with you, sits properly and doesn't get on your nerves is genuinely practical. In short: shorts plus belt make a complete set-up for hot working days.
