These are some of the best work pants i have ever owned. They are incredibly tough and will stand up to anything. They won't fray like jeans do when they get snagged. I was walking through roses all day long and not one thorn made it through the pants. They can be washed over and over and they don't shrink. The hammer loop is very strong and so are the belt loops, which there are 9 of. One complaint i have is that the pockets are a little tight and i have to fight them sometimes to get my phone out. I would definitely recommend these pants for anybody looking for tough and rugged work pant.
