Why These Pants Are Different
  • Tired of kneeling on hard concrete and feeling it in your knees for days? The built-in removable knee armor absorbs impact so you can work longer without the soreness.
  • Sick of cargo pants with pockets too small to actually hold anything? 14 functional pockets — phone, tools, wallet, keys — all within reach, nothing falling out.
  • Done with pants that rip the first time you squat down or climb over something? The 65/35 ripstop fabric and articulated knees move with you, not against you.
  • Caught in unexpected rain on a hike or job site? The DWR water-resistant coating sheds light rain and moisture so you stay dry and keep moving.

One Pant. Every Job.

From the garage to the trail — built for the people who actually use their gear.

Handyman working on car

The Weekend Handyman

Kneeling under your car or fixing the deck — your knees will thank you.

Hiker on mountain trail

The Trail Hiker

Scramble over rocks and roots without worrying about your pants giving out.

Every Detail Has a Purpose

This is not a fashion pant. Every feature was engineered to solve a real problem.

Feature 01

Built-In Knee Armor

Removable D3O-grade foam knee pads absorb impact on hard surfaces. Work on concrete, tile, or gravel without the soreness the next morning.

Pads slide out in seconds for washing. Compatible with aftermarket knee pad inserts up to 1.5 inches thick.
Feature 02

14 Functional Pockets

Two front slash pockets, two cargo pockets with internal organizers, two back pockets, two thigh utility pockets, and more — all sized to actually hold things.

Cargo pockets fit a full-size tablet. Front pockets fit a 6.7-inch phone flat. Zipper closure on back pockets.
Feature 03

Ripstop Fabric That Lasts

65% polyester / 35% cotton ripstop weave resists tears, snags, and abrasion. The reinforced grid pattern stops small rips from spreading.

Tested to 500+ wash cycles with no significant wear. Colorfast dye process — no fading after repeated washing.
Feature 04

DWR Water Resistance

Durable Water Repellent coating causes water to bead up and roll off the surface. Handles light rain, morning dew, and splashes without soaking through.

Not fully waterproof — for heavy rain, layer with a shell. DWR can be refreshed with a tumble dry on low heat.
Feature 05

Articulated Knee Cut

Pre-shaped knees and a gusseted crotch give you full range of motion — squat, climb, lunge, kneel — without the fabric pulling or binding.

Designed with input from tradespeople and outdoor guides. Sits at natural waist with a straight leg opening.
Feature 06

4 Colors, 6 Sizes

Available in Black, Olive Drab, Coyote Brown, and MultiCam. Sizes S through XXXL with consistent, true-to-size fit across all colorways.

If you are between sizes, size up. Waistband has 2 inches of hidden stretch for comfort. Belt loops fit up to 2-inch belts.

"I spend half my day on my knees in tight spaces. I have gone through three pairs of other cargo pants this year — ripped knees, blown-out crotch seams, the usual. These have held up for four months of daily use and my knees feel completely fine. The knee pads actually work."

"Wore these on a 12-mile day hike with 3,000 feet of elevation. Scrambled over boulders, crossed two streams, got caught in a 20-minute rain shower. Pants held up perfectly. The water just beaded off. Pockets held everything I needed without bouncing around."

"I was skeptical about the knee pads but after a full day of planting and weeding, I am a complete convert. The fit is great for women too — not baggy or boxy. I ordered a second pair in Coyote Brown immediately. These are the best work pants I have ever owned."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The knee pads slide out through a pocket opening on the back of each knee panel. Remove them before washing and reinsert after drying. The pads themselves can be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
These run true to size for most people. If you are between sizes or have larger thighs, we recommend sizing up. The waistband has 2 inches of hidden stretch. Check the size guide above for exact measurements.
They are water-resistant, not waterproof. The DWR coating handles light rain, splashes, and morning dew very well. For extended heavy rain, we recommend layering with a waterproof shell over the pants.
