Hybrid work trousers combine different properties and materials. Hybrid work trousers are therefore versatile and offer a combination of features such as durability, flexibility, freedom of movement and comfort. 

Typically, hybrid work trousers are made of different materials, each of which offers specific advantages. For example, the main part of the trousers may be made from a durable and abrasion-resistant fabric mix, while areas with high freedom of movement, such as the crotch or knees, may be made from elasticated material such as stretch fabric. 

The features of hybrid work trousers can also include additional reinforcements in high-wear areas, such as double-reinforced knee or seat areas. These reinforcements increase the durability and service life of the trousers in areas that are subject to above-average wear.

Cordura is a brand-registered special type of particularly hard-wearing fabric that is used in backpacks, for example, but also frequently in work trousers and other items of work clothing. It is a high-performance fabric made from nylon threads and is extremely resistant to abrasion, tears and wear. Cordura fabric is therefore particularly durable and resistant. 

Work trousers that are reinforced with Cordura fabric in certain areas, such as the knees, therefore offer longer durability and protection against damage caused by sharp objects, friction or rough surfaces. This makes Cordura work trousers ideal for professions where clothing is subject to heavy wear and tear, such as construction workers, craftsmen, mechanics or landscape gardeners. In addition, Cordura fabric is often also water-repellent and quick-drying, which provides additional protection and comfort in damp working environments. To summarise, Cordura work trousers are a high-quality option for work trousers due to their durability, abrasion resistance and protective function. 

BP also uses Cordura for certain work trousers. These include, for example, the knee pockets of the BP® comfort work trousers.

Short work trousers, also known as shorts or work shorts, are cut shorter than long work trousers and typically end above the knee. Unlike long work trousers, short work trousers offer more ventilation and freedom of movement, making them particularly suitable for warmer working environments or outdoor activities. 

Short work trousers are often made from durable materials such as cotton, canvas or blended fabrics to withstand the demands of everyday work.Stretch materials are also frequently used in work shorts to make them particularly elastic. Short work trousers are usually equipped with several pockets for tools or accessories. 

Work shorts are worn by workers in a variety of occupations, including tradesmen, construction workers, farmers, landscapers or warehouse workers. Short work trousers offer protection (e.g. high-visibility protection according to EN ISO 20471 or UV protection according to standard 801) and comfort, while allowing optimal air circulation and preventing overheating, especially in the warmer months of the year.

Bib and brace trousers are trousers that cover the upper body with a bib. The bib is held in place by shoulder straps.The bib can be attached to the braces with buttons, buckles or fasteners and provides additional coverage and protection for the upper body. 

Work dungarees are similar to traditional dungarees, but often have additional features and reinforcements that make them particularly suitable for use in demanding working environments.Work dungarees are often made from hard-wearing materials such as blended fabric, denim or pure cotton and are therefore particularly robust and durable. 

Work dungarees are particularly popular in areas such as construction, trades, agriculture, horticulture and other industries where extra protection and coverage is required. As well as offering protection from dirt, work dungarees are also practical as they do not slip when working and are equipped with a variety of pockets for tools and work utensils. Overall, work dungarees are a popular choice for workers who need comfort, protection and functionality in a pair of workwear. 

BP® dungarees are always available with or without knee pad pockets and comply with the ISO 15797 standard for industrial laundering, ensuring that the work dungarees retain their shape and colour even after many washes and therefore last a long time.

There is a need for work trousers in short sizes not only for leisurewear but also for workwear. Women in particular are looking for special trouser solutions that fulfil these requirements. What are short trouser sizes and what are their advantages?

Short sizes in women's trousers refer to special size options developed for women with shorter leg lengths. These trousers are generally designed to have a shorter inseam, which means that the distance between the waist and the hem is shortened. This is particularly beneficial for women with a smaller height or short leg ratio, as they can ensure that the trouser legs are not too long and do not need to be shortened excessively. Short sizes in work trousers, slip-on trousers or other professional trousers allow for a better fit and prevent the trouser legs from dragging on the floor or having too much excess fabric, which can often be the case with standard sizes.

Oversized work trousers are worn by people with larger body measurements. These trousers are usually larger than standard sizes and offer extra width and length to ensure a comfortable fit for people with a larger build. 

Oversizing in work trousers can relate to various aspects including: Waist circumference (larger waist circumference in the abdominal area), hip circumference (the hip width of plus size work trousers is also more generously sized) and leg length (plus sizes can also include longer leg lengths for taller people) or overall length. Oversized work trousers for men and oversized work trousers for women are ideal for people who need a larger size to ensure a comfortable fit and freedom of movement at work. They are available from BP® in a variety of styles and designs to suit different preferences and requirements.
