Who needs the gym when it’s part of the job? Hauling buckets, emptying wheelbarrows, climbing ladders, lifting timbers, the list goes on- and we’re not even breaking a sweat!
Some days on site can feel like you’re doing parkour rather than plumbing, so you need a kit that keeps up (even when you’re on your fifteenth trip back to the van!)
That’s why the TuffStuff range is made for tradies who need gear that moves with them, and we’re here to talk you through the best TuffStuff stretch wear for those days that feel like you’re doing more lifting than leg day. So, stick with us for tradewear that flexes, bends, and makes those tight squeezes that little bit easier.
The Benefits of Flexible Fabrics
Comfort is key, so here are a few reasons why picking flexible fabric is a workwear win:
- Freedom to move- For better performance and less fatigue. It may sound obvious, but no one wants to spend a day wearing clothing that resembles cardboard!
- Less tradewear tears- Features like flex panels reduce tearing when crouching or reaching- so no unexpected (and slightly embarrassing) seam splits.
- More comfort during long shifts- Keep comfortable even when the job runs over, breathable in the heat or layered up in winter.
-
Safer movement- That extra give makes navigating the obstacles of site work safer, and a lot less tricky!
Flex and Fit: TuffStuff’s Top Picks
Built for graft, but designed with flex in all the right places, these TuffStuff pieces keep you comfortable, moving and protected. Here are our top picks for tradies who need gear that works hard and flexes harder:
1. TuffStuff 720 Proflex Trousers
Squeezing through a loft hatch, nailing floorboards, whatever the challenge, if you have to work at full stretch, so should your trousers. Made from full-stretch fabric, with reinforced seams and a slim fit that doesn’t restrict movement, the Proflex trousers are designed to tackle active days and awkward spaces.
They also come as comfy shorts, so when the heat turns up, you don’t need to break a sweat to stay moving. And if you’re looking for extra-tough reinforcements with your stretch- the Extreme Work trousers are our toughest trousers for staying strong while on the move.
2. TuffStuff Hyperflex Work Shorts
A fan favourite for a reason, the Hyperflex Work Shorts are made with the same hard-wearing, ultra-comfortable 4-way stretch fabric as the Hyperflex work trousers, featuring an adjustable waistband, a gusset at the crotch, and zipped pockets for handy, secure storage. Stretchy, lightweight and tough enough for summer graft, they make even the most active days feel like light work (and are perfect for those comfy days off, too!)
3. TuffStuff Elite T-shirt
For stretch that doesn’t compromise styling, the Elite T-shirt ticks all the boxes. With a nifty kind of styling that flags its technical performance, this lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking tee is the ultimate base layer for all-year-round graft. Sporting Raglan sleeves for better arm movement and made from 100% polyester, the Elite Tee is a workwear staple, perfect for wearing alone, or layering with a stretchy softshell when the temperature drops, but the workload doesn’t!
4. TuffStuff Camden Mid-Layer
Say goodbye to shivering and hello to stretching with the Camden Mid-layer. Lightweight, versatile and featuring a brushed inner fleece for that extra comfort on the job. It can be worn between other stretch layers, or on its own to keep you warm and comfortable while you work your magic. With features like a zipped chest pocket for practicality and a sleek design, the Camden Mid-layer will keep you looking like a pro- and moving like one too.
5. TuffStuff Hale Jacket
Some jackets shout performance, but the Hale Jacket shouts louder than most. Bunged with technical features like a waterproof membrane, adjustable hood, fleece lining and hybrid stretch panels on the shoulders for unrestricted movement, this is the jacket to keep you protected and in action. The perfect work-ready stretch jacket, the sweat gets out, and rain doesn't get in.
Why TuffStuff
At TuffStuff we believe that every tradie should have quality workwear that keeps them comfortable, protected and moving freely on the job. Our range of stretch workwear is designed with active days on the job in mind, featuring four-way stretch fabric and flexibility in areas that really feel the strain (knees, crotch, and shoulders), all at a price that won’t stretch the budget.
But flexible doesn’t have to mean flimsy. In addition to upgraded stretch, TuffStuff’s reinforced stress points, triple-stitched seams, and rip-stop fabrics ensure your kit can handle rough days on site without giving up halfway through. Our fabrics are not only tough, but sweat-wicking and breathable too, keeping you comfortable whether you’re roofing in the sun or limbering up for a frosty morning moving metal. Pair your trousers with a TuffStuff flexible base layer and mid-layer, and you’ve got flex-friendly workwear that keeps up no matter what the day brings.
Work Hard, Move Freely
You put in the graft every day, so why settle for kit that holds you back? With the TuffStuff range of stretch workwear, you’re sure to be covered in comfort with movement and durability that lasts as long as your shift (and even after hours!)
