Cargo work pants, what do you buy?

[bnt55]

In construction industry and I like to wear a good quality pant, for the past few years I have been buying Duluth Trading company firehose cargo pants and I really like them for the obscene amount of pockets as I carry 2 knives, pencils, flashlight, wallet and other stuff. The problem I have been having is that almost all the pants are developing holes at the crotch gusset, I don't see a problem with this as I try to wear matching underwear, but my wife seems to think it's inappropriate? I have talked to Duluth and they will warrant them for 1 year, but the holes seem to show up after the warranty period. Guess I am changing brands...not sure what high quality COMFORTABLE work pants to get, looking for suggestions.

I don’t work for a regular paycheck anymore but I just wear jeans when I am working in the woods or in the shop. I do however wear cargo shorts all summer with only a few exceptions.

Patch them

I do, but I can't be running around with a patched crotch on all my pants, I do have to keep up appearances for my customers.

Don't know how well they would hold up to your work, but I just tried Truewerk and they are awesome pants. 1 year warranty. They are expensive but I love them.

Truwerx seem well made and have lots of pockets also

Wrangler Riggs are good. Can get them insulated too.

I wear these for farm work. They hold up better than most I've tried.

Wrangler Riggs workwear are nice and of course you can get nearly the same product from Walmart with out the Riggs name just Wrangler Workwear. I also wear the Dickies thick denim cargo pants.

Keep wearing the crotch out might be a sign.
That little itch could be telling you something.
They make an ointment for that.

Kid came home with some Rugged Workwear fleece line pants this fall from Menards this fall, 20 bucks a pair, my wife the our cloths washer- fixer-patcher has been pretty impressed with them so far.

Have you tried any of the Duluth flex pants? It's a lighter material and I don't know if you'll have as many pockets but the fabric seems to be more abrasion resistant. I have the same problem as you with the firehose pants. I walk a lot and they wear out in the crotch

Got wash that thing sometimes.LOL

Carhart FR cargo. I try to catch them on sale via FR depot. Usually last about 2 years each.

[GOTTA BIG SACK]

I know the feeling when you gotta big sack. Takes a good pair to hold them m

[turfy49431]

I like the Wranglers as well. I am hard on pants and they hold up great
