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

I'm originally from the electrical trades and wish these were around 25 years ago! I am out of the field now but do a lot of my own work and renovations around the house. I recently spent a day busting up tile mudded over a slab. I have conventional knee pads but after wearing them all day, the straps dug into the back of my legs and I was also constantly re-adjusting them. My brother in law is a carpenter and I saw him wearing these and I thought it was a great idea. There are much more expensive brands available but since I don't wear them for work every day I went with the more reasonably priced CAT brand. I own a pair of their work boots and they've performed well, so I figured I'd give these a try. The fit was nearly right-on....I wear 36 x 34 jeans so I ordered the same. Waist is good and length is a little long but wearable. They are slightly baggy but I expected that in work pants. Some reviews don't like the inner rubber-lined waistband - but I usually tuck shirts into my pants when working so I have access to my tool belt, and the band keeps your shirt from sliding out and producing the infamous plumber's crack. A great feature for me. After busting up the tile, I laid a wood floor and they were very comfortable throughout the entire process. The inside has a soft lining and they seem pretty durable outside. I mainly bought them for the built-in knee pad feature and ordered the CAT knee pads as well - they are optional and have to be ordered separately (make sure you remove them when washing the pants!). It's great not having the straps dig into the back of your knee and the pads sliding down my legs. I like the extra pockets and even the front pouch that you can keep tucked-in if you don't need it (it serves as an old-school nail pouch). Due to the pretty heavy fabric and liner, I'd imagine they would be a bit warm if you wore them outside in very hot weather, but that being said they're not heavy enough to be considered outdoor winter gear. Overall, they are a good buy at a good price and I'm happy with them so far. (See photo - I'm 6'1 and these are a 36x34). My carpenter brother in-law says he has a few pairs and gets about a year out of them. NOTE: I purchased this item on Amazon for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are not well written or give poor reviews based on not reading directions, inexperience or failing to read the product details prior to purchasing. Writing valuable reviews helps pay it forward.

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!

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.

Es un excelente pantalón, inmediatamente lo sacas de su empaque y se nota la calidad de la tela y las costuras. Sin duda muy recomendable.

Literally all my other size 28 pants fit, there is no hope of me being able to button these up

Muy buen material del pantalon, super comodo y resistente, muy utiles las bolsas que tiene integradas a la altura de la cintura, son durables y puedes herramienta de mano cuando trabajasBuscaba un pantalon resistente que usar en mis trabajos de fin de semana y supero mis expectativas.Tome en cuenta los comentarios acerca de la medida, que venia muy justa, asi que siendo 32 lo pedi 34 y fue una gran decision, ya que me queda flojito, justo a como lo necesito, el largo lo pedi en 32, y viene un poco larguo pero nada de cuidado, si usas botas mas voluminosas de casquillo se ajustara perfecto o con un dobladillo queda listo.Lo use primero con un cinto normal, y no me ajustaba bien, asi que compre un cinto tactico tambien en amazon, y fue un gran cambio, y ajusta perfecto., recomiendo compren uno para usar con este pantalon y trabajar comodo y funcional.

Cómodos funcionales prácticos buena calidad y muy agusto para el trabajo

These pants are amazing and you should buy them.They're comfy, they're warm enough to withstand -12c and an Ontario snowstorm with little effort and they've got more storage than you'll ever realistically need.Pro-tip, I'm 6'4 and 160lbs but the 32x34 are a little too long and a little too big in the waist.
