I'm not putting them through hardcore paces, but doing stuff like splitting firewood, tree trimming, and minor clearing projects on mountain acreage. Makes sense to wear fire hose pants when doing mitigation to protect property in fire country. I also love them for camping. Gotta have pockets for this, that, and the other. They're great for date night by the campfire. (And my partner thinks they make my booty look good, so that's always a bonus.)

These are cut for someone with a much larger waist than the typical size 2. I'm a farm girl and need work pants, but apparently Duluth only thinks larger women need work pants.
I bought 4 pairs of these pants at this point in my work career and i absolutely love them. They never miss. I'm curvy on the bottom and feel completely supported by them with no plumber crack! But please for the love of god can we reinforce some sort of fabric for in between the thighs?! That's the only reason these pants don't last for me and seems like I'm not the only one with this issue.
I love these pants! I have several pairs I use for work and around the house work/chores. I really like the pockets and the sharps pocket, they come in handy with all the things I have to carry at my job. The only thing these pants can't stand up to is the infamous thigh rub. I have a couple that have rubbed through and will either have to try and fix or throw away. So maybe Duluth could come up with something that would prevent that in the future. Other than that I definitely recommend these for the working gals.
I am 5"5 140 ponds with an hourglass figure .. i bought the size 4 with the 33 inch inseam.. the pants have a huge waist , and narrow hip area so a belt will be needed and the pants flatten my butt .. almost designed like these are men's pants .. the pockets are pretty small but ok . the fabric is not breathable and you will not want these on a hot day . they don't feel especially sturdy and seem to attract hair and dirt immediately . i am disappointed but kept the pants because i removed the tags. I literally cannot find a brand of high performing comfortable work pants designed to fit on the curves of a woman's body . wore them on a hike today and they stretched out as well . too expensive for these issues .
