Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
These shorts excel in warm weather working environments where you need reliable visibility and storage without bulk. The half-elasticated waistband gives you genuine freedom of movement, which matters when you're bending, stretching, or climbing. The poly/cotton blend strikes a solid balance between durability and breathability, and the protective fabric coating resists stains and moisture, keeping your shorts looking professional through the working day. The reflective striping wraps around the legs effectively, meaning you stay visible whether you're facing oncoming traffic or working in low-light conditions. Ten pockets might sound excessive until you're on site and realise how much you actually carry during a shift.
