CATCaterpillar Men's Hi-Vis Trademark Pant

I bought these pants as a replacement for a much higher cost item from a big box store. I'm a carpenter and as such I tend to wear through pants like my underwear... Pardon the image, but these pants definitely fit the bill and hold up just as good, if not better than those from the big box stores. The material they are made of is actually decently thick, and resistant to tears. Though if you snag yourself on that stick of rebar, its going to do some damage. They also come with plenty of storage pockets, with two external pockets on a flap for all your miscellaneous screws, bolts, nuts, small tools. Having these as removable via a zipper could be a plus though, as half the time i don't need them and they are just in the way. But that could also provide its own problems, where to store them, and issues with the zipper, etc. To me a minor detail and i'm ok with having them as i always have various bits/ pencils stuck in them anyways.The pockets on the rest of the pants are somewhat well thought out, and useful. There are two pockets, one on either leg that perfectly fit my samsung s7 WITH a case on it (something my old name brand pants lacked ability for). These days as a carpenter, not having a case is like throwing your phone straight out the box into dumpster. So i'm glad they made the pockets big enough to not only properly fit the phone, but properly close the pocket incase you happen to need to lie completely upside down from rafters (to OH&S, i did not do that on purpose...;) ). Ohh and it is comfortable to wear all day in those pockets as well. Now on the right side there are a series of two pockets which work nicely to hold my ever ready olfa knife which is always on me, and also a spare pencil, incase the one i'm using gets stolen by another coworker... again... It also fits a long snout tin snips rather well. The pocket on the left thigh is also quite useful, but mostly for holding my framing square or any piece of paper i may need such as a blueprint plan. There are literally so many pockets its hard to find a use for them all, but im impressed with how well thought out they were.Now on to my favorite option of the pants. Most brands have these so its not just a plus for Cat for making them. They have a velcro belt hoop on either side of the pants. I've found installing a carabiner on each side with one edge flatened down to about 1/8th thick. This then becomes my go to holster for my tape measure, and no matter how often i hang upside down and back upright again, it will not fall out! But the tape may need to have the belt hook shaped to fit the carabiner if it is too thick, which is why i shaved mine to be 1/8th inch. The carabiner also doubles as a tool loop for keys, drills with a hook, or even my caulking gun. I've also fashioned a hammer loop out of a 9 inch long, 1/4 inch diameter piece of scrap metal rod. unconventional, yes, but i hate wearing a full size tool belt with a passion! Thats why these pants fit my needs so well.They also have two pockets to install kneepads for those of us that kneed them... sorry, i had to! They work exceptionally well though to be fair, i haven't really tried them with cat brand knee pads. I just fasioned my own from some thick packaging foam that protected some fake rock we installed. Though i do imagine the Cat kneepads work better and will update my review once i get a set.Now on to durability. I've normally worn out a name brand pair in about 8 months to a year, depending on how self conscious i am of the holes showing my underpants... I've worn the first set for a year now, nearly every single day of work, and while the color is faded a bit from working in the sun all summer, i have only managed to snag one leg on something. so one hole, and i did have the seam in the left thigh pocket come undone after 6 months use. That i'd say meets or exceeds my expectation, and i'd be happy to recommend to anyone looking to buy a set of pants for less than any big box stores sell them for.As a side note, i must mention that the second pair i had did have the same pocket tear after 2 weeks use. At this i wasn't happy and so I contacted Caterpillar directly about it and they took care of it for me without issue! To be honest though, don't contact amazon expecting them to direct you to cat, they sent me to Catfootwear.com who don't even sell pants... they did this twice, then i ended up having to contact 4 different suppliers of Cat pants before one of them gave me the contact info for their supplier, through whome i was able to get in contact with Caterpillar. Overall when dealing with Caterpillar my experience was the reason alone for buying the pants again!

I bought these workpants 6 months ago, wear them a couple days a week, and they're already falling apart. Lost my cell phone and my wallet yesterday because the seam on the back right pocket completely came apart, from nothing more than moderate use. They never caught on anything, I didn't have tools or sharp objects in my pocket, yet.. it just came apart. Got my wallet back, minus all my credit cards and cash. So, I guess I paid for these several times. :/

Still waiting for receipt.Pants are perfect. Size is correct.

Se sienten muy resistentes y el número de bolsillos es interminable, en verdad no necesitas un cinturón de herramientas con estos pantalones, también me gustó mucho el poder usarlo con los pads en las rodillas, hay que estar cazando las ofertas para obtener un buen precio, yo lo compré en poco menos de $600 pero abajo de $1000 sigue siendo un excelente precio porque se siente que va a durar bastante. Viene un poco reducido y al ser tan rígido no cede mucho, yo soy talla 28 y me queda algo justo, creo que en el futuro pediré 30 y lo usaré con cinturón.

Lo usaré para trabajo, está excelente por la cantidad de bolsas, las del frente se pueden ocultar o exponer según se requiera. Pedí una talla más grande según vi en los comentarios que viene reducida la talla, soy 36 y pedí 38 y me quedo aún holgada pero bien. De lo largo si me quedo muy largo aunque corresponde a mi talla 30 de largo.Puntos positivos:Tela gruesa y de uso rudoVariedad de bolsasBolsas frontales removibles (se pueden ocultar o sacar de la otra bolsa)Puntos negativos:El tipo de tela adhiere mucha pelusa y pelos de mascota,en mi caso es color negro y ya está lleno de pelusasMuy largo, la parte de las rodillas quedan un poco abajo de donde deberían.La rodilleras (se venden aparte) al colocarlas, se mueven de su lugar y no hay manera de fijarlas. Al ser muy ancho de la parte de abajo y quedar las rodillas más arriba de donde está diseñada su colocación hay que acomodarlas constantemente.
