Caterpillar Men's Trademark Pant (Regular and Big & Tall Sizes)

I bought these pants at the beginning of fall, and absolutely love them! Its now the end of February and these pants have not let me down. I always just wore jeans for work before. Have done so for 20+ years. After getting these its all i wear. I probably wore my jeans only a handful of times since, because the cat pants were officially dirty. I say officially because i swear these things repel dirt and dust, not to mention they seem to be water repellent! I'm a in house tile setter for a local builder, i do most of our showers and tile work. I also do carpentry, and operate our hook truck (dumpster hauling) when I'm inbetween tile projects. I also have my hoist and can operate machinery (2a/3c) Before I bought these pants I would dress a bit different depending on what I was doing. Since wearing them for the first time I've fallen in love with them. If im working, be it around the house or professionally; I'm wearing my cat pants. I do not always use the pouches, and when tucked away you forget they are even their. The pouches are made from a thinner material, but it seems strong. I do try to be careful with sharp tools. My favorite use for them is for my spacers though! They are perfect for tile setting. You can easily have your knife, 5in1, nippers, and spacers all on you comfortably, plus room for a few other things. Thats just in the pouches! The pockets are awesome too. So many. Everybody will have a different use for each one. Seems like each pocket was made for particular items like a calculator, nailsets, catspaw, wallet, and a few more! I don't use the knee pads yet, but I will sooner or later. I have proknee knee pads which i prefer for most stuff. However I think the inserts will definitely be useful doing odds and ends where i am up and down alot. Ive just not needed them yet. As i mentioned earlier the pants seem to repel dirt, water and dust. No doubt, if you get grout or thinset or the water from cleaning either its going to stick to the pants, but it washes off easily. I'm a very neat installer and tend to keep clean. I'll wash it off as i go and avoid making a mess to begin with. if you are a messy tradesman then they probably wont help you in that department. If you are like me and like to keep clean they are great! Ive worn the same pair of pants 5-7 days a week washing only when needed but typically no more then one or two times a week. If when i pat them, dust comes off, or if they look dirty ill wash them. When i wore jeans i had to wear a fresh pair every day! When i first got them i told the wife we will probably wanna get a second pair because i couldn't go back to jeans after wearing them, lol. But keeping them clean has been a non issue. I am a very particular person. Clean clothing is a must for me. So i am not sacrificing my cleanliness to wear them in this fashion. I have also wore them in a few snowstorms and a blizzard shoveling. During the first storm i didn't wanna wear the cat pants cause i wanted to save them for work, so i wore my jeans. When i came back in they were soaked like jeans always do. I was froze. It sucked as usual. The cat pants are a bit on the thick side, so i decided to try them out on the next trip out, and wow what difference! No layer, just pants, and i was fine. It was 25 degrees wind and snowing. Pants barely soaked any water up. After that i always just wore the cat pants for snow removal too. I find the pants to fit well based on the size chart. I have the us 36/34 w/L for the cat pants and before that i always wore dickies 34/32. My dickies fit snug/boarder on tite. Were as the cat pants are a bit loose. I may try the next size down on my next pair. I was more afraid of them being to tight.All in all; the bottom line is: GET THE PANTS, THEY EFFING ROCK!! lol. Game changers. Everyone who seems them, loves them. If you are looking at these for someone else as a gift or whatever, buy them! They will love them! Any tradesman will enjoy these pants. Even the guys who still love the overalls will love these pants too!

These are the best work pants I've ever owned. I got tired of blowing holes in my bluejeans and spending money every year on new pants that eventually fall apart.Initially I bought one pair of pants just to see how they fit and if I liked them. Since then, I've bought six or so pairs of these because of how great they are. I work with sharp metal all day and over the years these pants are still going strong. The pocket for knee inserts are probably my favorite feature and the pads are well worth buying.The stitch in the crotch is specifically made so that kneeling is easy and comfortable. The pants have pockets all over the place and makes carrying tools, cellphone, hardware, and anything else, really easy and convenient.I only wish I had found these years ago, I wasted so much money on other "work pants".

First, I don't work for Caterpillar, the company that sells these pants or Amazon. I'm also not a bot or paid reviewer. I'm just a regular, old Joe that bought these to use in my kennel and around my property.These are, without question, the most useful, most utilitarian, comfortable and best fitting work pants I've ever owned, bar none. I've owned Proppers, 5-11s and others and nothing has come remotely close to checking off ALL the boxes like these do, especially at this price.I can't speak to the durability because I just got them, but unless the thread used for stitching the panels together is substandard - and I don't see any reason why that should be - these pants should hold up extremely well. The various panels that make up the pants are made of excellent matrial that should last a good, long while. I have a good number of other items, including various Maxpedition backpacks & shoulder bags that are made of the same material. I got them when I worked overseas in 2006-2008. I used them hard then and still use them today, 15 years later.I think what impressed me most though - more than the double-stitched reinforced knee panels with the knee pad pockets, more than the reinforced ankle panels to resist the rubbing of boots in those areas and more than the materials and myriad tool pockets - is the addition of 2 utility pouches that store in the front pockets. They're not as strong as dedicated utility pouches found on good tool belts, but they're not supposed to be and they are unbelievably handy for carrying small light hand-tools and parts like screws and nails. I run a canine boarding kennel and they are absolutely perfect for holding training treats, toys and various tools.I don't know of anything that comes close to these even at twice the price.
