I live in the tropics (Barbados) and as a maintenance manager I needed a solid performer that could go to client meetings as well as get down and dirty. I still haven't quite got the size right as I'm tall and skinny with a butt. I'll need to go down a size more to make sure the material doesn't snag when I'm wriggling through tight spots but that's easily fixed on my next order. I definitely need to wear a belt with it because it has ALL the pockets and once I got all the stuff I needed put away gravity took over. Such a wonderful problem to have! I do prefer to have waistbands sit at the hipbone but I'm happy with these. Thank you Dovetail!

I had my doubts, but these are amazing.

Pros: They're lightweight and keep me cool, but they dont feel flimsy- they feel as sturdy as my other dovetail jeans.

They handle a large range of motion, I've been crouching, jumping running, with no concern for the integrity of these pants.

The ripstop seems to prevent Wisconsin mosquitoes and biting flies from biting through the jeans!! I have been wearing them non-stop since I got them and not a single of those asses have managed to get me through these pants when they definitely would have otherwise.

Cons: Ripstop fabric is louder than traditional jeans, so maybe don't go hunting in these.

People who are texture sensitive may not enjoy the texture of the fabric, it vaguely reminds me of like tent fabric, but softer?

Anyways love these pants, love not sweating through my pants or getting bitten up.

Amazing work pant. Purchased for a uniform alternate work pant. Has not disappointed. Good for hot and humid weather in the Florida Keys and durable to trek through the hammock. Will be purchasing a few more pairs. Appreciate a work brand made for women, by women.
