I’ve always worn jeans. Recently got a job that requires climbing and crawling around concrete plants. This will mostly be outside. Need a recommendation on some tough, but comfortable pants. I’ll need some hot weather and cold weather versions. Bonus points if they have a color like light grey to hide the cement dust.


TIA.

I’d say Carhartt but their sizes are arse. One pair of 32x30’s will fit perfectly and the next pair is 2 sizes too small. Wash them a couple times and they shrink too. Just complete garbage.

Wrangler original cowboy cut. They make that super light color of jeans as well.

Oh man, just get any old pair of Nomex pants. They look great, last a long time and really keep you cool in the winter and warm in the summer

Wrangler all terrain cargo pants. They make a shorts version for summer. They stretch and are comfy as hell

They are really expensive but Truewerk. If I'm working outside, I'm throwing them on.

I wear the Ariat Workhorse pants. Absolutely love 'em. They come in Grey, Khaki, and Navy.

They're FR pants, but aren't your typical heavyweight FR pants that aren't very comfortable. These are comfy and look good.

I'm in the sun 10 hours a day. I wear 1 of 2 different kinds of pants.

1. The Wrangler ATG cargo pants that you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $30.

2. Truewerk T1 for about $90. They're incredibly well made and will outlast the Wranglers by years. They also seem to dry quicker. You can get the Truewerk XP pants for about $10 more and have built in kneepads.

Anything by Drifire or Crudelife. Especially their lightweight dri fit stuff.

Thank me later.

Kuhl radakl pants

Lightweight and durable. They have stretch material sewed in the seams so they are super comfy
