What brand of cargo pants do you recommend? (leminal.space)

Also model.

I normally carry a backpack because I like having some extra inventory slots for things like my wireless headphone case, pen, notepad, and occasionally a portable charger but I have been wearing a pair to work and quickly realised how capable they are for a majority of what I do.

Ideally I'd like something relatively durable maybe with internal pockets or organiser loops to hook a pen to.

I feel like I recall Rotcho and 5.11 selling cargo pants but I don't know if they are as good as some of their other products.

Fjällräven has a decent selection. The ones I bought seem pretty durable.

Or you can buy 5 pairs of a medium caliber brand.

Some people use Lidl (Parkside) drills in their home renovations, but they end up burning through a whole bunch them. In some cases, it’s still cheaper than buying a Bosch drill, but you need to asses where the break even point is in your case.

The ones from Duluth Trading are solid, and are actually comfortable. The Flex Firehose ones repel water pretty well, but do get hot and muggy inside when out hiking. Nice for typical days though, esp in the cooler seasons.

I love my Décathlon Quechua ones.

what's [they, il]?

[–] alex@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're my pronouns: I use they (neutral) in English and il (masculine) in French.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

why neutral in English but masculine in French?

5.11 strykes win hands down for me on every single metric. They have become my staple. I literally have pairs in every colour and even have the shorts.

I liked them better way back when they were Royal Robbins, but the 5.11 cargo pants are still good. I wear them every day and they have proven surprisingly durable. They also offer a good set of carry options for small gear.

For work, I go with Carhartt because they have some nice triple-stitched pants that are pretty durable and last me a couple of months. For just being out and about, I like the Fast-Tac pants from 5.11 because they are super lightweight with gusseted cargo pockets and ripstop fabric. It also has a dedicated cell phone pocket in the leg, which means I don't wear the shape of my phone into my back pocket like I do with every other kind of pants.
