I love these pants! I ordered 2 so I don't wear them out too soon.
Pros:
-enough pockets to carry most of my essentials for every task (pencils, pens, sharpie, long driver bits, light blade, box cutter/heavier blade, glass scraper, putty knife)
-knee pad slots are a life saver
-material is durable and not top hot
-they fit well and I feel more confident with workweek appropriate for my body
-wide, durable belt loops
Cons:
-the knee pads I got slide up and I have to periodically pull them back down which is a struggle/slows me down
-the open slot on the right side stacked pocket caught me by surprise, I probably just missed that in the description. Figuring out if there's a tool I can put that that won't fall through (a catspaw? Maybe?). So, everything in the pocket has to have a clip. I can still use the larger pocket behind it as a sort of quick grab/quick dump pocket but as these pockets fill up, that becomes more difficult and slower. I would prefer a completely closed pocket bottom or move it to the otherside (tho I dream of completely mirrored, ambidextrous pants)
-the tape measure clip slot sits right where I put my driver belt holster so I still have yet to enjoy that feature on any of the pants I've owned. Again, mirrored or moved would work for me and my work specifically.
-the slim leg can be a little difficult to get out if at the end of the day. But I should try a wider leg cut and I have before and liked them.
Overall!!.... very good. Incredible. I love these…
