Men’s Work Pants : Top 5 best sellers

When it comes to workwear, few items are as essential as a reliable pair of work pants. Whether they’re Levi’s, Bisley or FXD work pants, when you find a pair that can withstand tough conditions while keeping you comfortable and safe, you’re onto a winner. We’ve made it easy for you to check out the best selling favourites in the men’s work pants category at Safety 1st NZ.

FXD Men’s WP-3 Stretch Work Pants Black, Khaki or Navy

FXD Stretch WP-3s are the brand’s most comfortable and best-selling work pants for good reason. Made from a 295gsm stretch cotton canvas with DURA500™ reinforcement, these regular fit pants with a slimmer leg were designed for premium movability on the job.

The stretch doesn’t stop at the fabric either. Built-in back yoke and knee stretch panels allow you to bend, crouch and contort without restriction. Finally, work pants that move with you instead of against you.

But there’s no skimping on resilience for the sake of comfort. Polyurethane Canvas reinforced pockets with double-layered interiors lock your tools down and prevent anything poking through. While triple-needle seams and smart reinforcing give these pants serious stay-together strength.

The utility features check all the tradie boxes too – dual back welt pockets, a secure YKK zip fly, and that trademark FXD style with a modern slimmer leg cut.

For the ultimate in free-moving, hard-wearing work pants that look as good as they perform, gear up with the Stretch WP-3s from FXD.

Syzmik Essential Stretch Taped Work Pants Cargo Men’s Navy

Syzmik Essential Stretch Taped Cargos are solid work pants made for getting stuck in. The stretchy 98% cotton/2% elastane fabric gives you the freedom to move how you need to without restriction.

They’ve also got reflective taping around the legs adding some extra safety if you’re working in low-light conditions. Triple-stitched seams at all the high-stress zones make them a great pair of pants for taking anything you put them through. They’re built tough.

The oversized cargo pocket has angled pleats to stop it looking blown out when loaded up. Plus a dedicated phone pocket, pen slots, and even a small ruler partition.

The new slim fit cut looks neater too. But they’ve still got the classic tradie extras – two back pockets, wide openings on the side pockets for easy access, and that stretch cotton fabric for dry working comfort.

If you need durable Men’s work pants that allow you to really move and have some practical built-in safety, gear up with the Syzmik Essential Stretch Taped Cargos. Flexible but completely site-ready.

Hard Yakka Legends Cargo Pants, Regular Fit

When it comes to hardcore work pants that can handle absolutely anything, the Hard Yakka Legends Cargo Pants are in a class of their own.

These things are built like tanks, with reinforced high abrasion zones all over – the front pocket bags, back pockets, ruler pocket, even the cargo pockets. You’ll be hard pressed to bust through this heavy-duty armoring.

But the ruggedness doesn’t stop there. Triple-stitched crotch and leg seams lock everything down to prevent rips and splits when you’re contorting into tight spaces. While the knees are bolstered with abrasion-resistant Cordura for superior protection when you’re kneeling on rough surfaces.

Even the sun doesn’t stand a chance against these Legends, thanks to built-in UPF sun protection that blocks harmful UV radiation. Protection from head to toe.

These cargos still bring all the functionality you’d expect. The left side has a bellowed cargo pouch with phone/tool pockets, and the right side features smart pockets for your rulers, pens and other miscellaneous gear – with a released lower section so your ruler won’t jab into your leg. They’ve even got provision for sliding in knee pads when the job calls for it. No detail was missed.

The relaxed fit with an articulated shape ensures these move with your body, not against it. Clever front and back knee darts reduce annoying pulling and tearing too.

When you need a hardcore set of work pants that’ll stick with you through hell and back, invest in a pair of Hard Yakka Legends Cargo Pants.

FXD WP-1 Kneepad Multiple Utility Pockets Pants

WP-1s are built tough to handle whatever your workday throws at them, and keep you mobile. Made from DURA500™ Advanced Nylon with Polyurethane Canvas abrasion panels, these pants can take a serious beating on the job site and keep going strong.

You won’t have to worry about your tools going AWOL either. The internal pocket bags have an extra layer to stop anything punching through and falling out, even when you’re really giving them a flogging. Triple needle seams and bar tacks at the high-stress points mean these pants are staying together without any blowouts.

Durability isn’t the only box these pants tick. The stretch back yoke and knee panels mean you can bend, crouch and move freely when the job demands it. This style also has kneepads. Comfort and flexibility get a big tick.

On the functionality front, the WP-1s come stacked with multiple utility pockets to stash all your gear, plus a tried and trusted YKK zip fly. Proper work pants made for getting stuck in. They look the part too. A regular fit FXD work pant cut, tapered from the knee down for that modern tradie style.

Whether you’re a sparky, bricky or just on the tools all day, these pants have got the durability, comfort, functionality and look to match your grind. Workhorse gear that works as hard as you do.

KingGee Workcool Pro Cargo Stretch Work Pants

When you need work pants that can keep up with your grind without breaking a sweat, look no further than the KingGee Workcool Pro Cargo Stretch.

Made from a stretchy, rip-resistant ripstop fabric, these site-ready cargos give you all the mobility you need to move freely, while still packing the resilience to shrug off daily abuse. No more feeling restricted in stiff work pants.

But the real game changer is the innovative comfort gel waistband. Printed with a smart grip pattern, it stops your pants from slipping and bunching while also providing sweat-wicking comfort around your waist. Finally, workwear that doesn’t feel like a sweaty torture device.

There is no shortage of pockets on these either with 9 multifunctional pouches, slots and compartments allowing you to smart-pack all your gear for true hands-free productivity. Nails, tools, phones, pens, rulers – you name it, they’ve got a home.

Even smaller intuitive details have been worked out, like the crotch gusset that stops restriction when bending and moving. Or the behind-the-knee venting that prevents overheating when you’re working hard. Heat fatigue is real and the more features that help manage thermal comfort – the better.

Bottom line – the KingGee Workcool Pro Cargos are purpose-built to maximise dry, chafe-free, unrestricted comfort on the jobsite without compromising on functionality. Gear up and experience the difference.
