Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the lightest fabric you offer for summer work pants?

Our ripstop and lightweight twill fabrics are among the most breathable options — perfect for high-temperature job sites.

Are these pants compatible with knee pads?

Many STRAUSS pants include built-in knee pockets. Our insert pads slide in and stay centered as you walk, bend, and climb.

Will lighter summer fabrics still hold up on the job?

Yes—ripstop and tough twills balance low weight with abrasion resistance, so you stay cool without sacrificing durability.

How do I keep cool while wearing protective gear?

Opt for ventilated or mesh-panel pants and pair them with moisture-wicking shirts. This helps air flow and keeps you comfortable even under PPE.

Should I pick lighter colors for heat?

Lighter shades reflect more sunlight and can feel cooler in high sun compared with darker colors.

Keep Cool On (and Off) the Job with Our Summer Work Pants

Don't let the heat distract you from finishing the job. Stay cool, comfortable, and focused with the STRAUSS summer work pants.

All our lightweight work pants have been outfitted with intricate details like clever pocket placements, strategic reinforcements, and stretchy fabrics to ensure on-the-job comfort and performance.
