BLÅKLÄDERMen's Ripstop Durable Lightweight Work Pants with Utility Pockets

These are the goat for my event production friends. The black is clean. The material is in my opinion the best for pants in our trade. And you don’t see many rip stop fabrics in clothing. They’re comfortable as heck too. The fit is kinda slim but they look sharp and all of the technical aspects work great. Can’t wait to get some knee pads, it is going to make patching the stage a breeze. Gonna order 2 more pair, and go out on a limb and say the shorts are gonna be what I try for festival season.

The pants are very lightweight but durable. When I originally bought them, 3 years ago, I thought the stretch crotch area was suspect but they do not wear out. They are durable while comfortable. The rip stop feature has been tested on a few occasions. Still have the original hole that has not progressed past the original tear. The only thing I wished they had but do not are untyckable/Tuckahoe work pockets like other models do this would make them a little more functional as a work pant., however, if you are a Commissioning Engineer and do not always need more than a few tools these are perfect.

These are nice pants I gave a 5 star review because they are of good quality fast shipping and without a doubt are good "work pants". Most people will probably be happy with them.However I have to say I think there are many design flaws.1. Too small in the thigh. I'm about 180-185lbs and a 34×30 was perfect in the waist but to small on the thigh, I have to say that is a first for me.2. Style over use. Because of the tight fit. The pockets are extremely tight especially the cargo pant. So I cannot really utilize them. They do look great though.3. The crotch area is sort of an odd neoprene material that I think will wear overtime. Which I think adds to the weird fit.The reason you buy a pair of these is to fit tools in all the pockets and really utilize them, to avoid always using a tool bag/belt. You cant really do that with these because of the fit. The actual material is extremely durable. I am happy with these they are in my regular rotation of work clothes. I was just a bit disappointed because I wanted to utilize the pockets more.

Finally a pair of decent work pants that fit. I love the durability and function of most work pants but do not like the relaxed fit of most. I have Carhartt, Dickies, Wranglers and Walls and still use all of them for various tasks. The Blaklader pants though tick all the boxes; better fit, comfortable at a range of temperatures, durable, useful pockets AND dedicated knee pad pockets. Do yourself a favor and get some knee pads. They do not have to be expensive or complicated. Anything is an improvement over nothing. I find the Blaklader and Snickers knee pads to be a bit too thick for my periodic use. They are very nice pads mind you and comfortable to kneel on but a bit bulkly while walking around. I typically wear a 30" x 32" pant and I found the Blakladers true to size, maybe a bit long. The cut is a bit more fitted but very comfortable for any range of movement. I will be ordering more of these.

I've got two pairs of these and I'm very happy with both. They're lighter than the pairs of Carhartt ripstop pants I have so they're more comfortable in warmer weather. Unlike the Carhartts the cargo pockets on the legs are sewn on straight so I don't have a seam running across my knee that makes me curse them every time I kneel down. If I manage to wear these out I'll definitely be buying more.

Great value, but the pocket on the right side has already ripped.

Sized true, comfortable and allows full range of movement

I purchased these and another pair of there pants. They seem to be really well made, but they seam to run about a size small in the waist. Other than that, they are great work pants.

Great design and fit.

I really like these pants. They fit as expected and are comfortable. The side pockets are construction style and if one of them was cell phone size Id say I really love these pants. My iP11 can turn sideways. Update: their is 2 other pockets that do just fine, just not what I was used to. Other than that, the button comes undone too easily when you dont need it to. I rate these 8/10 as my HH construction pants actually get cleaner throughout the day if I get dirt on them, my phone stays put, and the crotch isn’t a soft breathable spandex material like on these pants.

I bought these as work pants and they excel at that (though pricey). I found them comfortable and practical enough to buy two more pairs and they have replaced my jeans for daily wear. I am 6'4" (193cm) and 195lbs. It is challenging to find good work pants that fit properly. The 34 waist 36 inseam that I purchased are great. The thighs could be a slight bit roomier for me but the flexible gusset between the legs keeps them from restricting movement. I like them more than cargo style pants. I will buy more when my three pairs wear out.

Perfect Christmas gift and could not believe how fast it was delivered!

I like these pants. They don’t have the extra pockets. Light and easy to move in
