Portwest EV4 Shell Work Pants
If you're after work pants with knee pockets that actually perform in tough conditions, the Portwest EV4 Shell Pants EV443 deliver serious all-weather protection without the bulk. Built from a clever 3-layer dynamic stretch fabric, these work pants keep you dry and comfortable whatever the weather throws at you. The standout feature? You can zip off the front and back panels to convert them into shorter pants when you need the versatility. Practical storage comes via spacious front pockets, reinforced knee pocket areas with bottom openings, and multifunctional thigh pockets with zips for your phone, pens and tools. The adjustable waistband ensures a proper fit, whilst an internal boot clip keeps everything in place and prevents unwanted riding up throughout your shift.

- Removable front and back panels for convertible functionality
- Reinforced knee pockets with underside access openings
- Four storage pockets including zipped thigh pockets for tools and equipment

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
These work pants with knee pockets strike the right balance between protection and practicality. The 4-way stretch means you'll maintain freedom of movement during demanding tasks, whilst the pre-shaped knee areas reduce strain where you need it most. What really sets them apart is the removable panel system, giving you genuine flexibility depending on conditions and working environment. The waterproof, taped seams prevent water ingress even during prolonged exposure, and the PFAS-free water-repellent treatment on the outer layer is an intelligent choice for long-term wear. Internal boot clips are genuinely useful for keeping the leg in position, especially when you're moving about site. The multiple zipped pockets mean your essentials stay secure, not rattling about.
