CQR Men's Flex Ripstop Tactical Pants, Water Resistant Stretch Cargo Pants, Lightweight EDC Hiking Work Pants

Upon receiving these I immediately put them to use, wearing them for a week straight on an oddball retrofit framing project that involved a lot of climbing, crawling on hands and knees, crouching in compact spaces and other contortions. They not only held up in perfect condition, but were so comfortable to wear that I barely wanted to take them off at the end of the day (wearing them now too). The gusseted crotch and overall fit gave them much more ease of movement than the typical Carhartt, while the rugged poly-cotton ripstop fabric felt so much lighter, cooler and more breathable than cotton duck, keeping me from overheating while climbing, crawling and running tools high up in a warm building. The elastic waistband is a great comfort feature that lets me wear them without a belt while not feeling restricted or uncomrtable while sitting and crouching. I've even started thinking about wearing them on cool weather hikes and trail runs, outdoor martial arts practice, hunting, landscaping and gardening around the property and other outdoor stuff that requires a bit of athleticism. The fit was true to size. The color I ordered, "dark brown" is just that, a rich dark mocha color that I love. The gusseted legs help taper the pants down from the roomy waistline and hips and thighs, to a regular fit straight leg at the bottom, making them look and feel roomy and yet not overly baggy. The stitching patter around the knees makes it look like they have a double layer of fabric for reinforcement, but I am pretty sure it is only one layer of fabric, which I have mixed feelings about.I don't love the size and placement of some of the pockets though. There is a right front slash pocket to the front of the main hand pocket that looks like it should be a phone pocket but is too narrow for my phone. I've been using it to hold a pencil, sharpie and retractable utility knife, tho for some reason it doesn't comfortably hold my folding blade EDC pocket knife. And placement is too much to the front for a good phone pocket since anything in that pocket will rub or bang against whatever awkward project you are working on. There is a left front mini-cargo pocket to the front of that hand pocket. It has flap closure with hook and loop and I am not sure what else it is good for other than a pistol mag. Since I am not in the habit of carrying pistol mags while at work, I have tried a number of other items including phone, pocket knife, keys, sunglasses etc. This pocket is too narrow for the phone and wallet, too short for sunglasses and utility knife, and everything else I have put in there has felt lumpy or kinda loose and jumbly against the thigh. I would like to see a pair of pants like this with a phone sized slash pocket along with a pencil and folding knife pocket pocket on one side of the leg, and a cargo pocket on the other side. A zippered stash pocket next to the main hand pocket for those can't lose items would also be welcomed. All in all, a great pair of work pants in my book, since I hate the heaviness and restricted feeling of the typical Carhartt-type pants. Even if the tactical pockets are lost on me, I am tempted to try other products from this company, and am definitely going to look for other work pants made with this type of fabric and cut.

Very comfortable, true to size. Typically wear 34to36w (5'11" 190lbs) The 34w32l fit perfect. Feel durable and look great. Just ordered two more in different colors.

Pants seem well made and durable. I bought two pair - same size but different color. One fits pretty well, though I wouldn't mind if the leg material was not quite so wide. The other is noticably larger - wider in the leg area. They seem baggier when I put them on. I don't have skinny legs, but these pant feel too roomy form me. Comfortable? Yes. But I feel like if I were in a stiff wind, the leg material would flap like a flag on the one pair.

I'm a former wildland firefighter, now in the utility clearance tree service. I'm used to wearing FSS ripstop fire pants (government issue) - you get what you get, and make due. But now, I needed more mobility for tree work, and breathability during these hot, humid summers. I'm hard to please, but my first pair of these really impressed me. I'm 185lbs., and wear a 32x32. These fit great. No baggy crotch limiting your stride, plenty of pockets in all the right places - and they are functional pockets, not just for looks. They are lightweight, yet very tough. I expect gear to work as hard as I do without failure, and these have held up to my abuse. They are much cooler than the fire pants I'm used to. Let me be clear, lately my shirt and pants are drenched with sweat by noon. However, even soaking wet, these pants aren't miserable. They stay light and breathable. I have 4 pair of these pants now and won't wear anything else. If you work an arduous job in a hot environment, I'd recommend you give these pants a shot.

These pants are great. I love the fit and the material is light and breathable. Plenty of pockets and I like the 2 front pockets that are open for utility knife and flashlight. I will reorder these pants again. They seem like they will last a long time. The pants are light and not stiff.

Got these for my husband and he really likes these pants. They are comfortable, light and all the pockets are functional even the small ones

The pants fit very well, I'm 5'9 and 175. Not super baggy in the legs but not too tight either. The pockets are a good size, and the pants color looks great. definitely recommend.

I loved these pants when I first bought them. The stitching attaching the velcro to the cargo pockets began to fail after maybe 2-4 weeks. Then the stitching to the back pockets began to fail. My back pockets are completely unusable now, but I have to be fair and say I can't remember how long they lasted, but much longer than the velcro.All that being said, I wore the hell out of these pants, and I still wear them. I bought them specifically because I was working a job hauling trash up and down apartment complex stairs, and now I use them working at a farm with lots of brush and brambles. The stitching is awful as mentioned, but there's not a single tear in the fabric. I've worn these pants near daily for a few years now. But I wear them for dirty jobs where looks don't matter. Wish I still had those back pockets though.You get what you pay for.
