Shorts guide

Work shorts are a must to stay comfortable if you work outside in the heat or in a warm indoor climate. In our shorts range you find both craftsman shorts, service shorts and high-vis shorts.
We have work shorts for men and work shorts for women, as well as some models that blur the line between work and free time. Our workwear shorts come in different materials with traditional fit or modern fit. We divide them into three categories: Original, Dynamic and Ultimate, depending on their features. Use our shorts guide to explore the different features of our shorts and find a pair that is right for you.

Ultimate – our most advanced workwear shorts

In the Fristads Ultimate collection, you will find workwear shorts featuring our most innovative designs and advanced materials. The shorts in this category provide maximum freedom of movement and include our contemporary FASG, shorts with stretch panels and full-stretch shorts. The users who choose our Ultimate shorts are usually early adopters who enjoy trying out the latest and greatest styles.
