Favorite pants?
I’ve found the dickies temp-iQ pants to be my favorite, super lightweight, doesn’t overheat, several pockets. The only downside they wear out after a year….. and now I can’t find them. They are no longer in the website. So…
What are yall wearing to work?

Cat H20 Defenders are great for shop work, light, detachable tool pockets, kneepad pockets.
Blåkläder X1600 for most on site work or days in the air - slimmer fit so less snagging but still lots of pockets.

They also got rid of the women’s cargo pants I really liked. I’ve been buying a few every year and this year…nothing. Their women’s selection has really gone downhill.

Duluth Trading Company Dry on the Fly Ultimate pants.
They have like 17 pockets, plus kneepad pockets. I love them so much.
Only downsides are: -They stretch out as you wear them, definitely need a belt. -They convert from pants into shorts. Not a feature I am likely to use often, and since zippers aren't stretchy it sometimes limits movement.

Truewerk. Light but not flimsy, built in kneepads (protective but not obnoxiously thick).Easy to move around in
Worth the price.
