Carhartt Women's Force Utility Work Leggings Black Medium

I purchased a black medium pair, but exchanged them for a size small after a few hours of the medium sliding down my waist as I moved around. I'm 6' tall and 170lbs guy who finds many of the women's jeans and leggings/work cloths fit my athletic body much nicer than the awkward baggy mens pants. These are exceptional in the way they feel and fit me, allowing me to do my farm work, construction, and exercising with the same style pant/legging. I'd recommend these to any guy who is looking to get away from the stereotypical oversized, bulky, and bland mens clothing, but also be able to wear these with the confidence of being a guy. Overall, these just feel great for all day use, and look exceptional while holding up to real mens work.

I'm looking for a durable, comfortable legging for working on our family ranch, and I think this may be the one! They fit very well (I'm 5'7", 140 lbs, and curvy) and look great! Enough pockets for small tools or my utility knife, long enough legs to keep stickers/burrs out of my work boots, and no back gap when I squat down. Next test is the durability of the fabric while clearing debris and downed trees this winter!

I LOVE these pants so much! Great fit and super comfortable. I’d say size is right on. I bought medium and i am a size 8-10 (5’1” 133 lbs) these fit food to snug (not too tight and not loose). Great pockets on the side and durable material. Perfect work pants for ladies! I got a second pair :-)

I am 5'3" 125lbs and got a M. It's slightly roomy in the waist but I have spent zero time hoiking these pants up while working. Calves fit slightly snug. I like that the pockets are reinforced otherwise these wouldn't have lasted as work pants. I wish there were back pockets or another pocket further down the leg. I've worn these alone, I've worn a base layer underneath (a little tight), and I've worn these underneath carhartt quilted dungarees. I love that I can wear leggings to work (women finally getting their own work clothes, yay! but also ease of movement and comfort.) Now I'm wondering just how waterproof they are.

I'm an active on the go mom of 5, with the youngest two of them, 2 and 4 yr old boys who are FAST. I love the comfort of leggings/yoga pants, but need the pockets for out and about, so my hands are free to hang onto kids, and not have a purse that the kids are going to try to strangle me with. I HATE cargo pants. I can't find any in womens or mens that fit comfortably. I think for most women, we do all feel bloated and heavy at some point, and the last thing you want is something tight and heavy to wear. That's why I love these. My brother saw them in a store and sent me a picture joking that he found the perfect pants for me. He was right!! I immedietly found them on Amazon and bought the lightforce version first to see if I like them before buying the more expensive heavier duty pair. I've never been a Carhartt fan. My hubby got a few handme down jackets from his dad and when they wore out, he didn't replace with another Carhartt b/c of the price. He has some Carhartt pants, again, second hand, too expensive when you have 5 kids, and they have held up but they are so stiff. We have picked up second hand CH stuff for our kids, but my older kids weren't fans of it. ANyway. Back to these AMAZING pants. These arrived Saturday morning. I put them on and wore them all day. It was mid 70s and I wasn't too hot or too cold. I wore them around the house doing all the mom stuff to catch up on the weekend, and to a dinner party that concluded with a boat ride around the lake. I even carried my car key in the zipper pocket and it didn't look awful. But it is just my 1 key, on a small key ring, with my gym scan tag and a small carabiner. I took them off that night and though I usually avoid yoga pants with wide elastic, these weren't too bad. The elastic did roll a little a few times but it didn't twist up become a pain to fix- I HATE THAT. I'm 5'6, 150-155ish lbs. I have short legs, and pretty thick thighs and these were so comfortable. I was afraid they'd be too long- most reg, length pants are, and tight on my thighs, they weren't. I wore them the next day to church, and I NEVER wear leggins 2 days in a row b/c they start getting stretched out and baggy around the waist. I wore them around the house after church too , I usually have to change out of of my "nice" clothes after church b/c they're uncomfortable. But I didn't this time. I actually snagged my leg on a protruding screw sticking thru something and have about a 2" scratch on my leg- it wasn't deep enough to bleed but it's a really red and still tender this morning. I knew for sure that I had ruined my new leggings, but I couldn't find a hole or snag at all! I am def. buying the heavier duty pair!

I was very excited for the pockets on these and they are great. Unfortunately, the waistband is so pinchy, so very tight-at-the-very-top-only that they are not comfortable to wear for more than a few minutes (I returned). I've got an hourglass figure and have a longer torso so have to be somewhat strategic about waistbands but honestly it's not usually a huge problem. I got a medium, which is my normal leggings size, and the legs fit fine (a little loose but I think that's more to do with the type of fabric) but that waistband just did not sit right. It's the kind of waistband where the exterior fabric part is wide and would be comfortable except they've sewn a piece of elastic into it that doesn't span the whole width of the waistband (cheapskates), creating the perfect conditions for jamming your hips/lower torso into a muffin top shape.

I normally wear a size 8 pant and I ordered the Medium and they fit perfect. High quality material that wears really well. Warmer than a normal cotton legging but still comfortable material. Zipper and open top pockets are very functional and fashionable. I will be buying a second pair.

Great pant.... until you’ve worn them for the 7th time and they decide to rip. The fabric is not durable like you would expect from carhartt. I do a lot of outside work and I expected these to hold up for more than 6 months. I’ve got leggings from Victoria secret that are 10 years old that still haven’t ripped. It’s disappointing because I do love the fit and utility of the leggings. But the overall material is a huge disappointment. If you’re going to use these for hunting, or outdoor work I recommend something else. These are merely fashion.
