I am 6'3 310lbs. I work in the emergency remediation for healthcare facilities businesses (water, fire, mold) for the last 10+yrs, I've been wearing these for at least 7 of those years. Started out with Dickies cargo uniform pants & couldn't stand them so I started buying my own pants. I haven't bought another brand of work pant since finding these. I used to rip either the crotch or the rear center seam constantly with other brands, but the elasticity (spandex section & elastic waist) in these has completely ended that trend, so I no longer have to get repairs done at the tailor. I work 12-18hr days at times & these stay comfortable all day. The double thick knees with the ability to slip in knee pads (an LAPG available accessory) if necessary is a really nice feature, my only gripe with that is I wish they slipped in from the top instead of the bottom, but I'm sure there's a reason for that which I haven't thought of. They are very breathable & colorfast. I absolutely love the front slip pockets & knee slip pockets. I keep my phone in the right front slip & my utility knives in the left slip & left knee slip. My only gripe is the button closure. I have a gut & this button can be very uncomfortable after a long day as it is not low profile, & actually causes a sore if I have multiple back to back extra long days. I may have my tailor change them to hook or snap closure for comfort. If you don't have a gut the button probably won't be an issue. But if it is you can take a color matched washcloth fold it skinny then wrap it behind & then under to over your belt & tuck into your pants behind the button for a cushion. This is a must if you have a gut & know you're going to be working more than 10hrs+. While these have gotten a bit more expensive in the last 5yrs, I think they are still a pretty good value, I still have all 6 pairs & only 2 have had side pocket zipper failure or any holes (not caused by wear, but snags from working & getting caught on screws or sharp metal bits during demos. The original 3 pairs I bought only had 5 belt loops, but the most recent 3 pairs I purchased had 2 extra hip centered loops which I feel were a mistake to leave off originally, very glad they added them! All in all these are awesome pants & are very durable... just need a few dangling errant strings to be trimmed to be super sharp work pants. You will also need to reapply Teflon/Scotchgard coating every 3-6mo for them to keep stain wicking like new. Read more
I love these pants. They’re comfortable and durable. They run true to size, but I upped the length for a little extra room. Great buy at any price. Just remember to dry on low heat, I had a previous pair shrink on me. Read more
It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it. Construction: Built solid, like a pair of Dickey's dress pants. Similar white pocket design as well (pocket made using white fabric). There were a few loose strings when I got it, but nothing out of the ordinary for new clothes. A pair of nail clippers and a couple minutes resolved this. Fit: Fits exactly as expected. I ordered a 32-32, same size I wear for my Levi's Jeans, and this left enough material over my boots to be able to blouse them. If you intend to blouse them and you're unsure, going with a size up on the leg length would not be a bad idea, though it worked out well for me just going with my normal size. If you do not wish to blouse them, the end of the legs are hemmed. For what it's worth, I use the US Army-style boot blousers, which are .5 cm braided elastic bands with a hook on either end. Pockets: You will never run out on these! There are two phone pockets, each next to the two "hand pockets", towards the inside. I use one for my wallet and the other for my Galaxy S10. There is room to spare in these pockets, so I suspect the iPhone would fit as well, though I don't have an iPhone to test this with. The depth is perfect, leaving me no concern about the phone falling out, and the positioning of the pockets does not press on the phone at all. You will have to lean back a bit or stand up to get the phone out of your pocket when sitting, which gives it a little extra security. The hand pockets are roomy and will very easily fit your hands, even larger hands or hands wearing gloves. The leg pockets each have a utility blade holder, though you could fit other small objects here too. This is attached to the front of the large zipper pocket, which has two smaller pockets on the inside. I store my gloves on one leg and a watch cap on the other during winter so I don't forget them on cold days. The back pockets are just as roomy as you would find in a pair of Dickey's dress pants and do well to hold fatter wallets exactly as you'd expect. Inserts: Some people have complained about the opening of the insert pocket being on the bottom so as to allow the insert to fall out, though I believe this is the wrong "pocket." There is a kneepad insert panel in the knee as described, which holds a pocket that is square at the top and tapered at the bottom. I used some .5" foam squares, the kind you place on the ground, and made my own knee pads. Some rolling was required to get them into the hole, but they stay in very nicely. The point of the confusion is that this panel is only sewn in on three sides - the top and either side, but not at the bottom. This allows this panel to move somewhat independently of the pants and I don't recommend trying to put a pad in there and seal it off. Belt loops: These are nice and wide, allowing for all manner of belts. I personally use a nylon belt from which I hang a radio and some other equipment. Read more
Very decent pant but knee pocket ocket is upside down. Not possible to fasten closed the bottom of the pocket. So any pad going in there will fall out of the pants. Give us two half pockets overlapping so the lower pocket will keep the pad from sliding down and the upper pocket will keep it from sliding up. Also place it so that when one kneels down the pad comes up to the knee and protects the knee when you're kneeling that's why we buy pocket pants. Personally I would put the knee pocket on the outside. The reason why is that the knee pocket will wear out first and the pant remains usable. Overall this is a decent pant with plenty of pockets but a little bit pricey especially for not having a usable knee pocket. Read more
