I keep getting ads pop up for Truwerk, Brunt, Duluth, and a few others. I keep hearing good things about 5.11. Wondering who likes what. I hate clothes shopping in general, but especially online. I know they all have free returns, but it's still a PITA. I have tried literally all the carhartt pants and none of them are comfortable for me. And they are all different as well, even in the same size and fit. Annoying. I am pretty happy with the dickies flex jeans and pants. Just looking for other options.

I use Eddie Bauer Guide Pro pants. Has cargo pockets but they don't stick out and the material is breathable, wind resistant, water resistant and lightweight.

They don't last forever though. Great pants and shorts

I have a pair of the pants with fleece lining for really cold days here in Canada.

I know they came out with a "work" pant a little while ago too.

These Wrangler Carpenter pants from Walmarts are great - they are pretty much indestructible.

Lighter weight material than heavy duty Carhartt work pants, which is nice because summer work here is an easy 100°.

Easily the best work pants for the price.

+1 for 5.11. Very happy so far with mine, but you have to try them on to see which fit is best for you.

I bought a pair of Duluth "fire hose" cargo pants and love them. They are stretchy, don't bind up, have tons of pockets. velcro flaps that can be tucked into the pockets, and more. I have bought a couple of pair for my guys and even bought the shorts version. Give them a try.

I wear yoga pants. I always get a tip at the end. YMMV.

Carhartt for me, I have their older style dungaree and they are awesome. Comfortable and not constricting when trying to crawl around in an attic, also thick enough to provide more protection than a pair of jeans.

I have a pair of "jeans" that feel like I am wearing yoga pants. I am pretty sure they are 90% spandex with some jean fabric woven into them. Girlfriend thought I would like them, but they now sit at the bottom of my drawer.

I'm fond of the Walls Ditch Digger's. Double knee material, long phone pocket, really rugged.
