Reviews

So far so good

"Been wearing these to work for a few weeks now. The fit is good for me. Not to baggy and not to skinny. I don’t use the open top left pocket behind the cargo pocket. Seems like a dust catcher to me. My only gripe is that the zipper seems short."

Solid

"I wear these for work (chef) and they’re very comfortable and stylish. I love the oversized pocket on the leg."

— Jeffrey D. (5/5)

Extremely durable and comfortable.

"I own 8 pairs. Incredibly durable and comfortable. Only pants I’ll wear. I’ve been wearing these pants for years. I’m a plumber and I’m very tough on my workwear. These pants were incredible hard to tear through. Took me two years of wearing them to finally tear through the knees on only one pair. I’ve torn through double kneed carhart pants in a few months. Don’t be dumb, buy these pants."

Work pants

"Great fit and quality! Just what my son wanted!"

— Dana M. (5/5)

"I like these pants a lot. I wear them to work everyday and the material is heavy duty thick. Although I wasn't sure about the pocket selection at first but I have found it very helpful at my job. I have the gage shorts too and have become a fan of Volcom's work wear, so many uses and just a little stretch. I've worn Volcom since the early 90's, you guys rock! Keep it up"

"Its fits perfectly"

— Cyril (5/5)

Close but no cigar

"I was so excited about these pants but quickly a bit disappointed when I put them on. The legs are too tight for my liking. I feel like the pants legs need to be wider. The pant legs lenght are all one size so after spending a lot of money for these it cost me another 20 bucks to have them hemmed."

— Rob W. (5/5)

Lower quality then the ones I bought a year ago were.

"I bought these same pants thanksgiving week of 2024. They have changed so many parts about them. They replaced zippers with velcro, took pockets away, and changed the button. Very disappointing to pay the same price for a lesser quality product. Especially one we praised to anyone looking for good quality work pants."
