Unless you are anything other than a normal size I would advise you to get your first pair by trying them on. Snickers do troousers in about 4 different lengths and it is important to get them bang on because of the knee pad system. Then buy them online Perhaps Marcus (SWE) can help on this one maybe they are cheaper there.

As long as they're about right, it's not that important to get the length of the Snicker 5223 trousers bang on, because they have adjustible kneepad pockets. You just tighten a cord on each leg, and the pads sit bang on the knees, and stay that way. Looks retarded, but it's awesome when you have to get down on your knees alot, as you don't don't have to pull your leggings up before sitting down on your knees. Then you just untighten them when you're done for the day

If you use the snickers floorlayer kneepads aswell, they won't slip out of place, and your knees will stay relatively cool. Smaller pads might slip though, cuz the pockets are huge.

A small review for those who haven't tried them:

The snickers floorlayer pants are by far the best working pants I've ever used. I used to use Blåkläder's and Fristads' floorlayer pants, but these are magnitudes better. The kneepad pockets are made from ultra durable kevlar, which are also adjustible. They're cut low in the front, and high in the back, which results in zero plumbers cleavage, and, they're light and cool. The fabric they're made from is some sort of synthetic, which ventilates really well, while remaining really durable... They might seem pricy, but they're worth every penny. The pocket layout is awesome too, especially the mobile phone pocket, which is angled, for easy access while in transit. It's also positioned a good bit away from one's balls, but without being hard to reach, which gives a little peace of mind

The regular pockets are slightly angled too, so I've never had any loose change drop out of them when stepping into or sitting in a vehicle.

A really, really, good buy, and they'll outlast any other pair of pants, which decreases the cost in the long run.

They go for around 50gbp+vat (normally free delivery, but I imagine they want a little for overseas delivery) around here.

And oh, another tip: Ejendals Tegera Pro 9105 gloves, made from something they call "Microthan", are the best gloves I've ever used. Just replaced my last pair, which I had for six months, and they cost me about 8gbp. I used them every day for rough stuff, like demolition work, carrying stuff, etc. I believe they're marketed in the UK by "Cromwell Industrial tools". Very good for work which is rough on the hands, but which also needs a bit of tactile precision. Machine washable, too.

SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY get a good pair of canvas over trousers and a good pair of gel knee pads last alot longer than the knees in a pair of snickers
