Snickers floor layers trousers

[ATZ Tiling]

Hi All. Have been using Snickers floor layers trousers for years now, but the last few pairs seem to rip between the knees and upper pockets and also beside the groin. Now I know there not cheap, and I'm getting pretty peed off buying a few pairs per year. The originals lasted about 6months but not anymore. What's everyone else using?PS I'm 6ft3 14stone. So average build.

Those areas you mentioned are weak points in all work trousers. I know those floor layers are expensive too. For me, you can't beat dickies Eisenhower, great trousers and good price too. They take the snickers knee pads

I have the Helly Hansen Chelsea construction trousers. Excellent fit and really tough

The last few pairs I've bought have been Blaklader for the reasons you've stated about Snickers. Snickers quality has nose dived imo.

Barnardos do a great range of £5 trousers.

I switched from snickers floor layers to blaklader. Like moving from a family hatchback with the tile in the back to a monster truck!
Superior in every way, including the price unfortunately!
Shame really as floor layers were the benchmark for many years.

What type do you go for Mark? I have the craftsman x1500, but I have to buy online as there are no stockist near me. I'm wondering if there's a better suited version?

I've had a few Lee.
I like the 1530 for summer - polycotton is lighter and I don't like shorts.
X1500 are my favourites, and I have a pair of 1960s which are amazingly tough but no good for summer - and at £120 they aint cheap!

Thanks Mark, nobody I know wears them, probably due to the price, so I have to take a guess online as to which pair are the best suited.

Emailed Snickers on Sunday. Let's see what reply I get, if any.

I'm still in shorts for at least a month, this thread must be full of southerners

We're in Scotland, no chance of wearing shorts past July here.

New trousers every 6 months? at £70 a pop!

I've had my half price Screwfix specials for at least 18 months and were only £20 max and want another year out of them at least.

Yes I'm from Yorkshire ...

 

[ATZ Tiling]

Snickers are nearly £90.

I'm in the same boat with the Snickers floorlayers. I've not had any rip, but the knees wear out a lot quicker than they used to do. I'd of got 6 months out of them, but not any more. I'm going to check out some of the alternatives mentioned.

 

[tommyzooom]

Has anyone tried Blaklader's own floorlayers, 1505, with the rubber knee pockets?

No. The shiny knees look too much like fetish club-wear!

I'll have to take your word for that sir
I wouldn't mind if they were any good, sure the knees would be white on the first day

Well it's nearly been a week since I emailed Snickers and guess what? You guessed it. No reply or acknowledgement. Great customer support. Wasn't expecting much to be fair, but a reply of some nature would of been nice

What I'm finding with snicker 3/4 length pirate trousers is that the stitching is going just above the knee pad pocket .

Found site mastiff from screwfix to be very good

They are all like that to begin with. Give them another week
