Duluth Trading Fire Hose Work Pants - Chasing The Best Work Wear

[@Elizabeth-nr8vo]

Ha! I live in Wisconsin & my friend works for DTC. I chuckle every time you say, “Milwaukee Tool” cuz that where we live.

[@joeblow593]

Plenty of ballroom...that's good to know.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Essential

[@MarkSamurai5]

I use the loops for my leatherman multi tool and pocket knife.

[@_BlueCollarGamer]

I just replenished my work wear. Bought Duluth 3 years ago, replaced with the same colors and makes 3 years later

[@jonathanthechristian5558]

How many pairs do you think are necessary for a 5 day work week? Have you ever used the knee pad inserts?

[@_BlueCollarGamer]

id say 3, i usually wear 1 pair for 2 days. sometimes 3 if it hasant been super rough. ive used them but id still rather use actual pads again depending on what you do. afterall it is material and rough surface will eat thru if your trying it. all in all great pants and have no reason to switch brands any time soon!

[@_BlueCollarGamer]

@@jonathanthechristian5558 200$ every 3 years on my work pants is good in my book, just grab yourself a pair and give them a go. the ball room is amazing. when you squat theres virtually no stretch in the pant.. (when the crotch gets tight and it feels like your seem could bust at any moment.) nada

[@jonathanthechristian5558]

@@_BlueCollarGamer thanks for getting back to me. I actually got a couple pairs and so far I like them. It's nice having the extra pockets and definitely love the crotch room. If there is a negative I'd say they get a little hot but I can deal with that.

[@_BlueCollarGamer]

@@jonathanthechristian5558 sure, sorry for the late response my computer was down. Anyways, yes they are a little hot. You can get some thinner pair that really last just as long. I drive truck and work concrete so I put fair use on my pants and even the thinner ones held up. Funny enough on all my pair except for the thin pair the reason for replacement was A. They are old now. And B. The belt loops. They didn’t rip and dangle. They actually started ripping a hole in the pant where sewn in at. A great work pant. You’ll get used to them and probably won’t go back to anything else. I probably won’t by a carhartt pant again. I do still enjoy their flannel and hoodie in the fall and winter though.

[@WJdad]

Thanks for this review. I was curious for what all the loops were designed. I’ve been wearing these pants for a year on my friend Bill’s recommendation. Never knew about the hidden pocket! Hmmm…what to store there?

[@dylandepuy3715]

Lol. I own 3 pairs, and I didnt know about the hidden pocket until you showed it to me. Son of a bitch!

[@americanazheck]

I bought several pair and they don't hold up. If you sit at a desk, they'll last forever. Mine color faded, torn, broke zippers. The no B's warranty was great until they changed it, so did the quality.

[@modsquad1670]

The loops are for strikers, those ones seem a lot wider then most though

[@oomps_]

Their best pants were the "Fire Hose Ultimate Cargo Work Pants", non Duluthflex version, which they don't sell no more. R.I.P.

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

Great I plan to use these as ‘scrub pants.’ I work in a lab.

[@diogallardo6505]

great review 👍🏻 im getting them pants

[@coreytaylor6833]

It's not a hammer loop it's for a radio. That seriously is great for me.

[@socaloutdoors7355]

Not a work pant but Under Armour uses that crotch gusset also...its made outta breathable mesh...game changer!

[@Cdub33]

Have you ever tried the CoolMax version? If so, how does durability compare to regular version?

[@larryseibold4287]

it almost seems like the rivets are in the wrong location, being in the flap (not needed) vs the top of the pockets?

[@bdubb5691]

Those "Hammer Loops" are not hammer loops. They work good for Anything that has a clip like a cell phone case or something.

[@brentfowler2317]

Are the loops for, a tape measure?

[@TheDurbinCompound]

They very well could be. I was thinking that earlier but advertising pictures on the website show the tape measure hanging from the pocket.....

[@brentfowler2317]

@@TheDurbinCompound oh okay. Well that's cool. I just thought about a tape while I was watching your video.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Brent Fowler yeah they are definitely stout enough to use for that. I would think they would advertise it like that but they don’t. Don’t know their intent with those loops. Definitely not for a hammer 🔨 though!

[@Tilley52]

The loop works fantastic for the metal belt loop holder on my Milwaukee power tools

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Ahh yes, that is a good use for that!

[@Poppaswine33]

Does the waist stretch at all...

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Not very much. It’s pretty sturdy. Don’t plan on gaining weight and having them give you a little extra room

[@jasonbabila6006]

How are those pants during the hot summer months when trying to stay cool?

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Don’t even try it. I’d say 60 degrees or less. They are thick and heavier than your traditional pants.

[@jasonbabila6006]

You’d recommend it as a winter work pants?

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Jason Babila yes or inside work. I wouldn’t want to wear them outside in the summer.

[@jasonbabila6006]

Thanks, I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it getting a couple of those if it’s not feasible to use all year round considering I work outdoors all day for the railroad.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Jason Babila definitely great for the colder weather and very durable but I wouldn’t recommend for warmer weather. You could always grab one pair and find out for yourself and have a winter pair!

[@konamanstudio2447]

Do they have any pants for hot weather or just normally cold weather Style I'm talking about Florida weather alright you take care man keep up the great work n cheers for beer or as I like to do🍻🍺🥃

[@TheDurbinCompound]

They do make a lighter pant but I have no experience with them so i couldn’t tell you for sure!

[@whitneycastillo7179]

I just bought a couple of fire hose chill max cargos for my husband today... and will work on them tomorrow. TX heat and humidity will put them to the test tomorrow.

[@coltengebo4135]

I wear the Duluth fire hose flex carpenter year round any weather... have been wearing them for 3 years and never looked back best work pants I’ve ever had

[@jasonwang6741]

hi, guys. how can i purchase and add some details on it ?

[@kingofthecrease30]

i always heard good things about duluth trading...they opened up a retail store 10 min from where i work so i decided to place an online order and pick up in store...that turned out to be a disaster and i never got my order so i wont be buying from duluth ever again...all they did was offer me free shipping on my next order which was a joke...oh well..they lost my business forever

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Well that’s unfortunate. I actually have only been to a brick and mortar store once. The rest of my sales were online. I had to return a pair of pants for a new size and that process was easy. Maybe a second chance in the future!

[@konamanstudio2447]

🍻🍺🥃

[@Maggiemagic305]

I get things delivered to the house n I return at the store so I can visit

[@bryanpalenske5942]

I need a good pair of jeans where my crotch doesn’t blow out! I squat a lot for my job and i keep blowing out jeans left and right! Anyone got any cheap brands that work good??

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Just invest in some pants with a crotch gusset. Duluth is definitely a good middle of the road price wise.

[@bryanpalenske5942]

TheDurbinCompound thanks!

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Bryan Palenske they are worth the price. They have an easy return policy if you don’t like them. They have the flex pants as well and they are lighter. I don’t recommend the Dickies flex pants. They tear the same way. I really want to try the Truework pants but they are over $100 per pair.

[@DellSmith21]

Should try the Caterpillar line of work pants. I buy 1 pair a year. Very good quality!

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Can you link the specific pair? I’d love to try them out and do a review!

[@anthonymcghee1548]

Tire a 10 inch hole in min less than a month squatting down to lift a jack . If you move you need something that stretches . I grabbed a couple pairs of Duluth today . We’ll see how they hold up

[@guccigang1786]

@@anthonymcghee1548 how have they held up?

[@rossg4788]

So basically u don't like velcro...

[@leonbanigan5117]
