Measure your waist in inches and your inside leg, then match both to the size code on the product page. For example, a 35" waist with a 32" leg is a Snickers size 050. Get those two numbers right and your Snickers trousers will sit properly, move with you and keep the knee pads where they belong.
Snickers sizes work trousers by waist and leg length rather than small, medium and large. That gives you far more choice, but the codes can look confusing at first. Here is how to measure, how to read the Snickers size chart and which style suits you, with links to the Snickers trousers we stock in Cavan and online.
How do I find my Snickers trouser size?
You need two measurements and a soft tape measure. Ask someone to help with the leg, as it is hard to get right on your own.
- Waist. Measure around your natural waist, where you wear your trousers, over a thin layer of clothing. Whatever you get in inches is the waist size to look for. If you fall between two sizes, round up.
- Inside leg. Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to where you want the hem to finish. The easiest way is to measure a pair of trousers that already fit you well. If you measure on your body, wear the boots you work in.
- Match both to the code. Snickers combines waist and leg length into one size number, explained below.
Leg length matters more than most people expect. Trousers that are too long can catch on boots and tools, and trousers that are too short stop the knee pads covering your knees.
Snickers size chart: what do the size numbers mean?
The number is a code for waist and leg length together, and the leg length follows a simple pattern. In the sizes we stock, a regular leg (32") uses the base number, a short leg (30") doubles it, and a long leg (35") adds 100. So base size 48 is 048 in a regular leg, 096 in a short leg and 148 in a long leg.
Here is the chart for the Snickers 6241 AllRoundWork Stretch Trousers. Sizes vary slightly between styles, so always check the product page.
| Waist (inches) | Short leg (30") | Regular leg (32") | Long leg (35") |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28" | 084 | 042 | n/a |
| 30" | 088 | 044 | n/a |
| 31" | 092 | 046 | 146 |
| 33" | 096 | 048 | 148 |
| 35" | 100 | 050 | 150 |
| 36" | 104 | 052 | 152 |
| 38" | 108 | 054 | 154 |
| 39" | 112 | 056 | n/a |
| 41" | 116 | 058 | n/a |
| 44" | 120 | 060 | 160 |
Snickers also makes extra-short and extra-long legs in some styles. The number ranges differ between series too: 3-series trousers (such as the 3214) have regular sizes from 42 to 62, while 6-series trousers (such as the 6241 and 6224) run from 44 to 64.

Women's Snickers trousers sizing
Women's Snickers trousers use their own size range, so use the women's chart rather than sizing down from a men's pair. Women's sizes run from 32 to 54 for a normal leg length, with 18 to 22 for short legs and 76 to 92 for extra long legs.
Measure your waist, hips and inside leg, then compare them with the chart on the product page. The Snickers Ladies 6701 Stretch Trousers are the women's style we have at the moment. If you are between sizes or unsure about the cut, call us on +353 (0)49 4332166 and we will talk you through it.
Fit tips before you buy
- Test the knee pads. Kneel down in the trousers. The pad should sit over your kneecap, which only happens with the right leg length. We stock Snickers 9110 Craftsmen Kneepads as a lightweight option (check the product page for compatibility with your trousers), and you can browse more in knee pads.
- Allow for layers. Workwear needs more room than everyday clothes, especially if you wear thermals in winter. If you are between sizes, go up.
- Move in them. Squat, step up and reach. Stretch panels help, but the waist and crotch should never pull.
- Think about what you carry. Holster and ruler pockets loaded with tools change how the trousers hang, so try them with your usual kit if you can.
- Try before you commit. Call into our store at Moynehall Retail Park, Cavan to try a pair on. If you order online and the size is off, we offer an exchange or refund on goods returned within 14 days of purchase (see our refund policy).
