I’ll be working in full PPE from next week. Face mask goggles gloves apron.
I thought quick drying cargo trousers would be good. Can keep all my bits and bobs in pockets and wash every night. Needs to be really cool as well as I’ll be wearing all the plastic. Tried Decathlon but they are skin tight round the thighs, does anyone have any ideas? Needs to be black or dark blue to look a little bit smart.

In what circumstance?

If you need full PPE you really don't need pockets 'cos you're not taking anything away from the area of work. Nor are you travelling home in the kit you've been wearing...

I don't think you're wearing 'full PPE'.

But to answer your question, I like the Craghoppers Pro Stretch (or whatever they're called now) jobbos.

Snickers Flexwork trousers are comfy, have a bit of stretch, lots of pockets (they come with or without holster pocket) and are quick drying and come in a multitude of sizes

whether they look ‘smart’ depends on what work you’re doing

Try Kuhl Renegade pants, not exactly combats but comfy, discreet, lightweight, quick drying & well made. Lots of pockets too, some hidden.

Surely scrubs, and then straight into the laundry before leaving work.

Fristads as an alternative to Snickers.

No way would I want my pockets full of stuff when I go into the Red zone. Dont take a pen, bleep gets washed on coming out, phone which is needed for reference stuff (BNF, antiobiotic formularies etc) goes into waterproof pouch which is wiped down on leaving red zone. If your employer not providing scrubs for 'full ppe' thats a bit wrong.

Okay, you’re right. Not hospital full PPE.
But PPE to get within 2m of people In opticians. Anyway thanks for the suggestions I’ll have a look.

Englebert Strauss. Online something there to suit your needs for sure.
Very comfy cheaper than snickers.

Advantage with those Mountain Warehouse Trek trousers is they’re a lightweight synthetic, so dry very quickly.

The rule is you don't wear your clothes you came to work in. Well it is where I work.

Englebert Straus. Lots of light weight options. Some have vent zips. Mostly have a good waist system to stop the builders but problem.
