Why choose long work trousers?
Long work trousers offer several advantages that contribute to safe and comfortable working. Thanks to the longer legs, ankles and shins remain well covered, providing protection from the cold, dirt, UV rays, or contact with sharp materials.
Professionals in construction, installation technology, transport and industry often choose long work trousers because of their robust quality and practical design.
There are also long work trousers for summer, made of light and breathable fabrics and sometimes even equipped with zippers for better body temperature management, ideal in warm temperatures without compromising on protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
When are long work trousers required?
Long work trousers are mandatory or recommended in work environments where there is a risk of injury, burns, or contact with hazardous substances. Employers may stipulate this in their safety policy under the Working Conditions Act. In cases involving hazardous substances or a risk of burns, multinorm workwear is recommended.
What work trousers do you need if you are tall?
For tall people, we recommend extra-long work trousers with adjustable legs or specific lengths (e.g., L36 or L38). These ensure an optimal fit without the trouser legs being too short.
How do I recognize longer length sizes in work trousers?
Various measurements are used to indicate extra length. We recommend consulting the size charts included with each product to determine which system is used. Here are some examples.
- One 1 before the number for example C150 instead of C50, some brands even use a 2 for an even longer pipe length
- Some brands use odd numbers, for example a C51 is instead of a C50
- There are also brands that use Tall, in which case it becomes a Tall-C50 or a C50-Tall, depending on the brand.
- The inner leg length in cm is also used with various brands, for example a 90C50 instead of the standard length 82C50
- For jeans sizes this can be seen from the number after the L, this is the length in inches.
Can I also lengthen my work trousers?
Many modern work trousers have a removable hem or adjustable length, allowing you to easily lengthen the trousers. This hem is often a different color on the inside of the leg and can be easily removed with a seam ripper. Consult the product specifications or ask our team for advice.
