Snickers have one of the widest ranges – best known for their all singing all dancing Holster Pocket trousers, with kneepads and all sorts of handy knife and ruler pockets. Lots of companies have followed in their footsteps but nobody has all the details worked our quite as well as they have.
Their newer lines are a bit brash but their classic ‘craftsman’ range is a bit more understated. Theres various fabrics to choose from too. Canvas+ is the best all rounder for comfort and strength. Duratwill is more abrasion resistant and shrugs of dust very well but looks very shiny. Both of those are quite vulnerable to heat though – the duratwill especially so. Theres a pure cotton thats better if you do hot work but wears faster. Theres also a lighter weight fabric which is good in hot conditions.
Their ‘Service Line’ trousers are a bit more subtle, are cheaper and have simpler less fussy designs but very hard wearing. They’ve a really good range of sizes (4 choices of leg length for every waist size)
A sister company of Snickers – ‘Dunderdon’ is new in the UK, pretty much online only though. They’ve got some good stuff in denim fabrics and a denim-look cordura mix. Quite pricy though. They benefit form the same wide range of sizes as Snickers.
