I am a window washer and I wear these pants everyday while I am out doing work. I walk through thick bushes, climb ladders, kneel down to wash lower windows, and many other things that put these pants to the test. I have not one complaints about the design or toughness of these pants. They even look more professional than other pants that I have used over the years while still being durable. Carhartt pants have always been good for me and these are no exception.
