Carhartt Force™ ripstop werkbroek

Haven't been loving the Carhartt women's fit since they started making them. Although in need of good work pants made for women, bc I've been working in hard labor for 20+ years, and there was a time before, so I give it a try every couple of years. This feels like the closest they've gotten to this woman's body, finally. And I don't feel particularly atypical. 5'9 185lbs I guess I have longer legs, but regulars in other brands are fine, longs are too long. I get the cropped length for boots, but Id rather a boot cut then high waters that pull up awkwardly on the inseam side because I have thighs. I've always felt like the inseam pulls up even in a relaxed fit and these are no exception, and the "mid" rise is too low for hips, esp that have had babies. It's not the look or the most reliable stay, to be in the middle of the muffin top. Our hips have literally evolved to be sat on, not pinched, why not use them like hangers? The band and drawstring are an improvement but since we're going comfortable why not commit all the way up? Look at active sweats and leggings, we like it to sit over the hips with tummy control even. Over the years, it's felt like the designers are still trying to hang on to some of the men's traditional shape, and it's just not what I want when I buy something designed for women. I've been struggling to make the man's shape fit all my life and I'm just not made that way. Its like finally feeling seen, only to be gaslit bc my body isn't a just a short skinny boys, I am not crazy. I wear and buy workpants, and to pay Carhartt prices to hopefully get the quality and intention, only to be let down consistently, has discouraged me over the years. Anyways, these are closer and I'm giving them a try once again, a little bummed but hopeful still.

I bought these for my daughter, who works full time on a landscaping crew, and they're perfect.

So comfortable

These are the most comfortable pants I've worn. I prefer loose clothing for work and these were perfect with the adjustable waistband and I love that they are ripstop.

I absolutely live these pants. Despite the high price, this is my second pair. I have 2 pairs of shorts as well. The fabric works as hard as I do on the farm. They are soft, move with me and are so comfortable. The most important part is the rip stop. From wire fences, branches, nibbling goats and wh9 knows what else, my farm environment tries to pull them apart but they hold together no matter what. The new black pants were not my preferred color because they would show all the mud that I accumulate on knee and bum spot this time of year however, they were a game changer this week as I ran from milking to a luncheon meeting. With no time to change, I flicked off the dirt chunks, threw on a top and scarf and looked pretty sharp. Carthartt Force pants make it so that even though all my clothes are work clothes, I can look professional mucking a pen or giving a tour.

I'll start by saying that I was FLOORED when I found these jogger style pants, with ample pockets. These are great for a summer field day. I haven't taken these thoroughly through the gauntlet yet, but love the fit so far. The two front pockets have zippers so I can secure items like my keys and phone, and can even stash my binoculars in the back pocket!!!

i had these for a month and they ripped in half lol. i only bought em because they were advertised as being rugged

They're really good! I'm a ranch hand and do lots of odd jobs on the ranch they help up great! Love all the pocket options! Only thing I'd change is the draw string. It's pretty hard to untie once you get it tied, but not too bad ?? Other than that they're really amazing!!

Amazing and really comfortable. It is a little bigger than the size.

The light weight material is great for the heat of the summer and the fabric seems plenty strong. I hate the tie at the waist. It is difficult to cinch it tight enough and then it is very difficult to untie. The shorts have the same issue. I hope Carhartt will come up with a better solution like a zipper. Unfortunately, I would not purchase another pant or shorts with the tie in the front. It's a bummer because Carhartt has become my go to work clothes.
