Carhartt Force™ Relaxed Fit Ripstop Work Pant

Ok, it is rare for me to write a review unsolicited- but I took these pants out on a spin today and I LOVE THEM. The other day I was shopping for some field pants- I'm a paleontologist and I spend days in the field laying amongst dirt and rocks and generally acquiring bruises. My go-to pant is a much thicker pant, usually with reinforced knees, but I've gained weight lately and all those pants have been pinching my waist so I decided to shop for a bigger size. The sales lady suggested these (and I scoffed, but begrudgingly) tried them on. I did some unflattering squats in the dressing room and the drawstring kept them over my butt. They are light. They are roomy, but don't add an extra 10 pounds to my trollish figure. Do you go home and immediately put on pjs after work? Well girl, it's 8pm and I am still wearing these. They are so very comfy. Today I stabbed myself in the leg with a rusty nail in a pallet I was moving (thank you tetanus shots), and "dead" lifted (that's a paleo joke) a bunch of dinosaur jackets around the museum and the pants remained unscathed. I just dusted the plaster off the pants (but maybe cursed a smashed fingernail) and kept moving. These should be made in lighter colors for those of us that like to lounge in the desert sun, but the green is great. Excited to put these to the test in the field in a few months.

My favorite pants! Great fit, durable. Please make them in more colors!

Absolutely phenomenal pants, very breathable. light weight. Super comfortable when working and to just wear outside of work. I've always struggled with finding pants that fit. As I'm short with a tummy. I'm an XL in these. They are high waisted at least for me. But the elastic band helps to tie for a snug fit. Ordering more ?? I had one pair of pants before I tried this out last week.

The ripstop pants are very comfortable. It is nice to have relaxed fit pants that also have an elastic waist when working. I work outside with fruit trees and having comfort while bending, squatting, or climbing ladders is important. My only complaint is that these pants do not keep me cool in the summer. It would be great if there could be a lighter weight cotton option.

Ive been wearing the leggings for over 7 years now, no other pants for work. Gave these a trial and am very please with the fit. I wear a small, standing at 5'4"; i do agree they feel short in lenth even for my shorty self. The pockets are great. Will order more
