Wrangler Riggs Workwear Mens Ranger Work Utility Pants

Great pants. But... Wrangler pants, to me, always seem tight in the waist compared to other brands. I definitely recommend ordering a size up in the waist. The length is fine. The fabric is extremely durable but soft and comfortable. They wash readily without any obvious shrinking.

July 19, 2025: Overall, I like these pants. The color is as pictured and the fabric as described. The relaxed fit is fine in the thigh area and below, but the seat and hip area is snug. The waist size exactly matches the labeling. Regarding space for a phone, one would fit in either a cargo pocket or one of the main four (front and rear) pockets. The smaller pockets on the outside of one cargo pocket could hold smaller items. After wearing the pants a couple of times to work, on a bicycle, while driving and for a 1/2 mile walk, I find them to be comfortable. They feel durable, though time will tell. December 12, 2025: I like the brown pair enough that I took advantage of a Black Friday sale to buy a second pair in dark olive green. This pair also fits well and the measurements are accurate. I would recommend these pants to family and friends.

I've only worn them once, but the pants appear very durable and are of good quality. I like the ripstop material as it dries quickly. If weight indicates quality, these pants weigh 888 grams or 1.9 lbs. Maybe the weight can be used to compare other pant choices. The waist sizing is weird on me. I normally wear 32" waist pants, but these 32 " pants are too tight. However, the 33" waist pants are too big and I cannot pull them down over my hips. Maybe it's my body. The relaxed fit makes them comfortable, allowing free body movement. I like the pant's cargo pockets, and they are quite large. I recommend these pants for anyone doing outdoor work, but be mindful of the waist sizing. I noticed that many reviews do not show ripstop, but other fabrics.

Boy oh boy, was I skeptical about ordering PANTS online. I wear a 35 x 30... yea, I'm kinda built like a brick... a not-too-tall brick, so I never buy pants without trying them on first. So I was more than a little pleasantly suprised to find a pair of extremely well-built, comfortable, and well-fitting cargo pants that even look pretty good on me. (I say pretty good cause, lets face it, with my body type I'll never be in an Old Spice commercial) I got several comments on these jeans the first day I wore them to work! (Yes, by women...) I thought I would point out a few things about these pants that aren't mentioned in the Amazon description: The Best! If you actually do some PHYSICAL LABOR at your jobsite, you most likely wear a knife with a side pocket clip. I usually put mine in my front right pocket in the corner. I have lost count of how many pockets I have worn completely out, and how many good knives I have lost, by constantly taking my knife out and putting it back to that spot. These pants have nice piece of leather in that exact spot!!! And its not overly thick so my knife is still easy to take out and put back in my pocket. Truly Awsome! The pant sizes have more variety. What I mean is most pant sizes go from a 34" waist to a 36" waist... I have always been cursed with being right in the middle. The 34 was a little too tight, and the 36 was just too baggy. 35" is just right! Riggs is made by Wrangler so maybe that is how all their jeans are. Whatever the case my be, Thank You! I have owned several pairs of Carhartt cargo work pants... I don't want to say anything bad about their product, because I really do believe they make a great pair of jeans, BUT... Their pants have always been tailored to a slimmer build, and there are a lot of guys like me who will just never fit into that particular cut. Has anyone out there ever spent more than a few hours bucking bales of hay? If you have then you have probably worn out the thighs of either the right or left legs, maybe both! These pants are DOUBLE LAYERED over the thighs. I haven't put them through the ringer yet, but I believe these pants will take a lot hay bales before they will even come close to wearing out. Minor con The only thing I have that is not completely complimentory about these pants are the pockets. I love the number and placement of all the pockets, but the front hip and rear pockets are very deep. This is more a personal preference than any real flaw in the product. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I ALWAYS where a watch, and it makes it a little awkward to dig into my pocket. I also cary a golfers wallet (yea, I'm an enigma) so its also a bit of an adjustment digging it out of my back pocket. In summary, I really can't say enough great things about these Riggs cargo pants. I feel like a was stretching a little bit about the pockets, but I base a lot of my Amazon purchases on customer reviews and I thought I owed it to everyone else looking for a product like this to give as much information as I could. (And I hope my spelling was close!)

Have bought more, will continued to buy more. The only issues I've ever had with these pants, being a welder and wearing them constantly, is either; discoloration due to sweat (Not their fault I stay hydrated and full of electrolytes), and a minor issue with things in the pockets rubbing against the outside material over a long period of time. That will wear holes in them, but it takes quite a bit longer than many jeans I've bought. The pockets are great, with a loop for a hammer, and two extra small pockets on the leg which my multi-tool has found a comfortable home in. Admittedly the smaller one is a bit more challenging, as with walking during work, pens can fall out, but that's life. Never had any issues with zippers, unless things get caught in them. Which is a hazard if bathroom breaks are rushed, but that's a user issue haha! Keep them clean, and hung up? Possibly ironed if you like it that way, and these make for useful and quite smart looking pants that you can wear to business casual events. Admittedly, the black ones might even pass for a bit more lax formal, but that's a welder's opinion. All in all, tough and great quality pants. Wish I could afford to buy more and just use them over the years...

Edit: there is clearly a sizing issue. These pants have nice pockets and seem durable but the 36 waist is too small and the 38 is too big. Also I think the 30in length is way longer than it should be. Most of the time 30in is on the shorter side for me and these are long if I pull them past my belly button. I guess that’s what you get for paying $23 on sale, they must be pawning off bad sized product. Would be 5 stars if the fit was consistent. They were just a but tight in the waist and hip causing a pinch. I had to order a size up (which is 2 sizes between 36 and 38). I was disappointed because I have their ATG hiking cargo pants that fit perfectly at size 36. I don’t know if it’s a quality control issue or sizing difference between product lines, but the pants seem high quality otherwise.

Comfortable, plenty of pocket space, and they fit really well (and look pretty good) on my tall, wide-hipped frame. Easily my most robust pair of pants (other than som Cold War-era milsurp fatigues) by a long shot - a very refreshing change after buying several pairs of other "heavy duty" and "tactical" pants that gave out after a year or less. Lesson learned - lot of brands are just expensive nsmes, but Wranglers are still apparently interested in making durable work wear. Also? They're thick and rigid and they feel like wearing some sort of material between cardboard and canvas, and somehow I find that extremely comfortable. They don't get sweaty or stick to me when I'm working in the summer, and they're plenty warm for the colder months, too. Buying a second pair after I write this review.

These jeans fit very well and seemed true to size. They are well made and are maintaining. the dark color, yhat I was looking for.
