Blaklader 1690 7oz Rip Stop Pants with Stretch - Dark Navy

They run a little small in size. We will see how they hold up.

My husband is a HVAC tech and he wore Blaklader Brawnys with his previous employer for years. It helped his knees to not hurt so much and doesn’t chaff his legs like other strap on knee pads. Plus they lasted nearly two years were as standard blue jeans would be shot in 3-6 months. His new employer used a uniform company and he tried to comply with that but his knee were starting to complain. So, he is now back to Blaklader’s.

This is the first time ordering ripstops so we will see how they last. We ordered one of each color. He wishes there were a couple more color choices. The navy and black show dirt so much and he is afraid they will be hot in the summer heat and sun. But the stone is so light it shows all the dirt as well. A medium blue or antique khaki would be better for his line of work. He has had them a month, so far they are holding up beautifully. No signs of wear, clean up well, and they look amazing on him yet he can move around well in them.

I've previously reviewed the Stone color of these same pants. Normally I don't spend this much on clothing, but I decided to cave in and try them after a co worker had showed me the features and benefits of these pants and I've been sold ever since. The stain resistance is excellent, which considering my work environment (a shipyard), is almost necessary. The breathability of the stretch is also a nice touch, helping to keep slightly cool without getting too cold on the cooler nights of 2nd shift. I will say if you are expecting a normal Navy blue, these are much much darker. When I received them they were almost black and I could barely tell the differences unless I looked at the black Cordura knees vs the rest of the pant. They did lighten up after a few washes though and I am extremely happy with my purchase and the excellent customer service from Trusted Gear Co.!

Where to start, these pants actually had thought put into them. The bottoms of pockets are not attached so you can bend and twist with full pockets. The rip stop material is surprisingly durable yet light.These are a darker blue than I thought but that's not bad at all. Reflective strip on the leg is really useful working in the dark. They did seem to run a tad bit big but that works out anyways for winter when I will put a base layer on underneath these. In the end I bought another pair and will be buying more.
Most important Pro
Trusted Gear co has the most amazing support for a store with an online aspect I have ever seen. I have made numerous purchases from them and every one of them has what is a hand written note. I ask questions and get live responses. 11/10 support. I will keep coming back to these guys for more workwear.

I work construction and there’s no telling when I gonna go down to my knees to adjust something, tile Exc. I also love to Onewheel and to avoid strapping on knee pads this is perfect for that with the blakladder 4084 wide foam knee pads, perfect 👍🏼 good job
