MAGCOMSEN Men's Fleece-Lined Winter Snow Pants - Waterproof Ski Pants with 4 Zipper Pockets for Outdoor Activities, Hiking & Cold Weather Protection

You’re lookin at my new work pants! They get an A+ for geospatial and building survey work. I spent 8 hours lugging heavy equipment and climbing up/down roof levels 5’+ apart on a big box retail store roof every day this week, and they have been a game changer. They still look presentable/professional enough for interacting with clients, but can withstand the dirty work. No more wet/tattered knees, or getting progressively dirtier throughout the week. They’re not impervious to things like oil and grease, of course, but being water resistant, they show significantly less evidence of what I put them through over the course of the week. I haven’t had them long enough to say for sure, but the stitches look strong and durability is not dwindling so far. They’re comfortable and easy to move in.Fit is great. I struggle with pants sizes because I am tall, have a relatively small waist, and my thighs/rear end are disproportionately big for the rest of me. I’m 5’8”, 32” waist and 42” hips- 165 lbs. Per the size chart, I was on the cusp between two sizes, and ultimately chose the slightly larger for strenuous work mobility’s sake, and to fit leggings underneath in the severe cold. I’m very happy with what I got. The thighs are a little tighter, and the waist just a little bit looser, but thus is the life I lead. I could have standed to go the smaller size, but as is they stay up splendidly without a belt, stay put even better with a belt, and are still very comfortable with a layer beneath (without being baggy). They’re flattering- wasn’t expecting to feel cute at work.As for water resistance, I haven’t held them under a faucet or anything- but I knelt in snow 90 times for about 3 minutes each, and I’m dry as a bone.For anyone with sensory issues, I will note that the seams for the reinforced knees are noticeable. I don’t think they’d be a bother for someone neurotypical, but I was grateful that I had already planned to wear leggings underneath (12 degrees yesterday) because they’d have been kind of uncomfortable/scratchy on my thigh when I crouch without another layer.The pockets are copious and functional, thankfully without looking like cargo pants. ? secure zippers so that nothing comes flying out when I’m climbing a 25’ vertical ladder with 40lbs on my back.I think pants that cost twice this much would just be comparable. The ONLY thing I’ve found in other pairs of pants that I’d have liked is a hammer loop, but I’m quite happy with my choice for the price. I won’t be spending $70 for my next pair, when these exist.
