Review: Pant-astic - These pants are really well made. My husband has a towing business and is always crawling around on the ground in bad conditions and hydraulic oil. They are very functional with all of the pockets and they are really sharp looking. We did have to exchange them for a larger size. You may want to size up because they have a slim build. We will definitely be purchasing another pair in the future.
Review: Great pants! - The material is durable but nice and light. The external tool pockets tucking into the pants pockets nicely if you don't need to carry tools in them. Those tool pockets are also removable. The waste bans had a rubberized coating to help hold you shirt inside, which is very nice. These are thw most comfortable work pants that I own. The fit is nice, for a work pant I usually over size one size for comfort but that is just my preference. Tge waste band also had some stretchiness to it with is nice. These pants are thin for hot weather and quick drying. There is no lining to trap moisture however they have extra durable materials on the knees, knee pad pockets, and reinforcement just about everywhere you normally see wear. I highly recommend these pants!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these pants!
*by T***. on December 27, 2021*

I work in telecom and have tried every pair of pants known to man. All of my Carhart pants fit well, but all end up tearing the fabric in the same spot after less than 6 months or so. So far, these pants have held up much better, and are very easy to keep clean. These pants are incredibly comfortable! They don’t bind in the crotch at all and the fabric is both cool in warm weather, but warm in cold weather but very lightweight. The best thing I can say is you don’t feel them while climbing, kneeling and such like I always did with others. I also really like the grippers around the waistband as it really does help keep your shirt tucked in. The built in tool pouches seemed kind of gimmicky, but after using them, they are very convenient, and seem to hold up well to screws and other items. The knee pad pockets are a wonderful for those of us getting older and kneeling on herd surfaces. You don’t even need the fancy knee pads, I just cut some foam pads I had to fit and they work great. Will definitely be getting another pair.
