Blaklader 1690 7oz Rip Stop Pants with Stretch - Stone

Going to buy a 3rd pair

Awesome pants. Love these pants with the knee pads . I need to protect my knees but can’t tolerate traditional knee pads the straps always hurt the back of my legs. These are awesome. Would recommend.

I picked a pair of these up on the suggestion of a co worker based on the need for a cooler option than my full denim workpants that would still stand up to the wear and tear a shipyard would put them through. I do not have any regrets. I was even surprised how stain resistant they were, they would be much cleaner looking after a day or two where my other pants would just look filthy within hours or sometimes even minutes if I kneeled down in the wrong place without thinking. The pockets designs are also added bonuses, much bigger pockets and not fully attached so you keep your range of motion, which helps when you have to crawl in tight spaces. By far the best though is the breathability, they are definetly a thinner work pant than I was used to, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to go back until winter comes around. I find my days I have the luxury of wearing my first and so far only pair the most tolerable while stuck in the inner compartments of what is essentially a steel can baking in the heat of the summer sun.

While outside my normal price range, I have no regrets and I plan on buying another pair or two when I can, and if it's in your budget I'd suggest giving them a try if you think you'd like them too!
