I can go out in
them, stay in in them, take a nap in them, or take on the
apocalypse in them.
They (short smalls) fit perfectly, have soft cotton, and
easy-access pockets. So far, they've taken a beating pretty
well. Every weekend, when I have to decide between jeans and my
cargo pants, the cargo pants win. Pockets. It's all about the
pockets!
-----------------
I bought these pants for my son, and he loves them. I got a pair
in every color, and this is all he wears. they do not shrink,
but we did find they run small in the waist. he is 13, and wears
a 29" waist, and we had to get the mens medium. i thought the
small would have fit, but it was a very fast exchange with the
company. no problems at all. and they tie on the bottom, so the
lenghth does not matter. will buy again!! very well made
product!!! A+++++++++ THANKS!!

Brilliant, durable, functional and yet fashionable! Great for
workwear or just casual trousers. I bought these for my holiday
to Hungary and they were great if a bit too warm.
Recommended.

These pants are comfortable, well made, and extremely tough. I
bought one pair to start, olive drab XL. I have a 37" waist
(like most dudes, I wasn't totally sure, so I actually
measured), and though these pants are more like a 40" or 42" in
that size, the side-straps adjust the waistband perfectly. They
fit great, look good with any belt (if you wear a belt, which I
do), and having eight pockets (side, butt, lower-thigh, and
mid-calf) is a great feature.
A lot of folks complain that the legs are too long. Well, that's
kind of the point - see those ties on the bottom of the legs? I
have size 13 Wide feet, and I often buy shoes a tad large to
accommodate these 'boats' I walk around on. Just follow along
here . . . Walking in shoes that are a little too big will pull
your socks right down your legs until they're bunched at your
heel. Now, you might not have this particular problem, but
seriously, isn't it annoying when your socks fall down your legs
and end up bunched at your ankles? Well guess what? You pull
those cords tight (don't worry, they're stretchy, and you won't
cut off circulation or restrict movement), tie them off
(double-slip works best) about an inch above your "ankle bone"
(whatever that little knob is called), and not only will the
legs of the pants NOT fall down around the heel of your shoes
(to get stepped on and torn up), but your socks are held in
place like magic! Also, if you're camping, landscaping, or just
generally hanging out in the wilderness, this prevents bugs and
other crawlers from getting up the legs of your pants (a big
deal here in NY, the deer-tick problem is always a menace).
This is called "blousing" the pants, and before you guys feel
all girly for saying the word 'blouse', relax - they do that in
the Army and Marine Corps. Actually, in the Army Survival Manual
(FM-21, can be found here on Amazon), one of the instructions
for wilderness survival and hygiene is to "blouse" your BDU
pants tightly to prevent muck and creatures from getting all
over your lower half when you're out in the bush. Remember, BDU
stands for Battle Dress, Uniform - these pants are inspired and
based on military field-grade wear (hence the camouflage
themes).
Anyway, these pants are great for camping, fishing, hiking,
mowing the lawn, ATVing, general off-roading, any kind of
outdoor work (landscaping, lumberworking), and of course,
paintball and other sports. The pockets are extremely useful,
and tend to slide around so when you bend your legs to lie down
or crouch, you're unlikely to be lying on top of the stuff
you're carrying. The zip-fly does feel a little bit small for
such tough pants, but I currently have three pairs of these BDU
pants (olive, khaki, dark brown - more on the way soon) and have
never had the zipper get jammed or stuck on me. The buttons are
sewn on securely, and the belt loops are wide to allow for belts
of all sizes.
In short, if you like comfortable pants that are both durable
and good-looking, if you like having lots of pockets for your
stuff, or if you do a lot of work or play out in the yard or out
in the sticks, these pants are definitely worth buying. The
price is good, the quality is good, and even though I have no
experience with returning these pants (since I never would - I
like them a lot, if you haven't noticed), most of the other
people that left comments either had a very positive or only
slightly negative experience with returns/exchanges, I would say
they're worth the risk even if you've never thought of buying
clothes online. Just remember, the legs are supposed to be a
little long, and the waist can be adjusted down about 6" or 7"
with the side-straps, so you probably shouldn't worry if they're
only a little big. |
