Work shorts that dry as fast as you work
Jetpilot workwear started with a simple observation: the fabrics that survive salt water and a footwell are the ones that survive a site. So the work shorts run the same quick-dry stretch fabrics, YKK zips and triple-stitched stress points as the riding gear, with pockets engineered for a heavy-duty phone case and a clip. Squat, climb, kneel, drive home in them. They do not care.
Utility shorts
The Jet-Lite Utility Short is 100% stretch ultra-lite quick-dry fabric with a performance bias gusset, reinforced pockets and a reinforced back panel, cut for a heavy-duty phone case with a custom side-entry pocket shaped for a clip. The Fueled Utility Short is the straight-fit 20 inch version that sits just above the knee, with bullet-weave reinforced pockets and a rear carpenter pocket. The Jet-Lite Hybrid Utility Short brings the 4-way stretch blend of dry-fit polyester and natural fibres to the same 20 inch cut.
Walkshorts
The Jet-Lite and Fueled 16 inch walkshorts are the slim-fit, shorter cut for hot days and lighter work: reinforced front-entry pockets, a side-entry pocket shaped for a clip, engineered pockets that fit heavy-duty phone cases, a double-layer internal pocket bag and an internal waist draw cord. The Jet-Lite Hybrid Walkshort is the same cut in the 4-way stretch blend, with secure zip-lock pockets on the left front for the things you cannot afford to leave on a roof.
Elasticated shorts
The Jet-Lite Elasticated Short pulls on with an elastic waistband, in the same lightweight quick-dry fabric with utility pockets, triple-stitch construction and bar-tacks at the stress points. Site to ramp without changing, and no belt to lose.
Built like the riding gear
Triple-stitch construction, bar-tacks where the load goes, YKK zips and double-layer internal pocket bags, because a work short that dies at the seams in March is not a work short. Jet-Lite dries on the move, the Hybrid blend adds a cotton feel with 4-way stretch, and some styles carry UV 50+ protection, marked on the product page. Black, navy and khaki, so they pass on site and at the pub afterwards.
Sizing and the dealer near you
Waist sizes 28 to 44 across the range; the size guide has the measurements. Jetpilot workwear is sold through the dealer network, not online, so find yours on the workwear stockists page and try the waist on before you buy. The rest of the range is on workwear: work pants for the days shorts are not an option, and work jackets for the cold ones.
