Affordable Pants

I like them. They do get picked by briars, but very comfortable and what I wear most of the time … well, I actually own more of the cheap Members Mark pants of the sane style from Sam's, but the wranglers are not the same "swishy" fabric. The members mark pants are SLIGHTLY more pick resistant, but definitely louder
 
Have multiple, maybe 8, pairs of the wranglers. They are wonderful pants. Biggest problem I have is the rear pocket stitching is tearing out of several of mine. Instead of it being a true pocket, it is mesh sewn to the outside fabric. Easy fix, but a flaw none the less. I'm pretty rough on them and other than this problem, they hold up pretty well.
 
I'll have to give them a try. If you're a fluffy 180 @ 5' 10" I must be a lard a$$ at 210-215. Until now I thought it was all stud muscle or at least that's what I tell my wife. I normally wear 34/32 in everything but for whatever reason with some wranglers I've had to go to 34/34 with boots or they look like the high waters I see yuppies wearing. Will check out Walmarts and see if any have them. Material wise are they lightweight, middle of the road, or heavyweight?

Light weight and breathable. The Walmart closest to you normally has them in stock. And they normally fit true to size.

They are on the Light weight side of things. I dont expect them to handle brush busting for days on end but then again for the price I wouldn't expect them too.

I did a back squat and deadlift routine at the gym, if they were gonna split anywhere they would have done it then. I expect over time they will weaken but right out the gate I was impressed.
My daughter and I took the pups out for a short "rabbit hunt" yesterday after school. It was around 20 degrees and we tromped through some sage. I was surprisingly comfortable in them, I really thought I'd freeze. Don't seems like they breath and wick moisture pretty well.

BTW, it's all stud muscle. Whenever my wife starts thinking otherwise I rub a little dirt on her glasses and buys me some time.
 
Temps in the negatives here the first part of yesterday. So, I slid a pair of thin merino long John's on underneath…no restriction at all. Even did a short 2 mile hike without issue.
I haven't washed these yet and have worn them practically everyday since I posted this. Only issue is they are loosening some in the waist/hips. I'll probably wash and hang dry soon and see what they are like.

Also, my wife actually tried these on. The flex in the hips actually allowed them to fit her but my size was a little too big. We might swing into Wally World and see if they have a smaller size to see if she can get a good fit. Website doesn't show any women's but in todays world that don't matter.
 
I've got 20 plus pairs of them. I am a tile setter and that's all I wear for work. After about 3 usages they look rough with thinset on them permanently but have not had any wear holes in knees and or rip. The only problem I've had is wearing out the mesh pocket liners. Got several I forget have worn pockets and my wallet ends up in my boot within about 10 steps.

Target sells the same pants. She could always buy them there and it would be completely legit.

Good to know. Your line of work definitely puts a pair of pants through the test.
 
Got a few pair and they are great. Got some of the fleece lined for working outside and then the camo version for the woods. Found a pair of their brush busters somewhere and they are awesome. We got tons of blackberry briar patches up here so they get used a bunch and have held up great. Held up much better than a high end name brand that's 4x as much.
 
The hiking we did was through some snow drifts, snow didn't seep in and what little bit of dampness occurred dried quick.

Front squats and deadlifts this morning wearing these pants. As for mobility and the fact they cost $27, these are going to become a staple day to day garment for me.
 
My son works construction and he has a couple pairs of these. If they tear, he goes back to Walmart. I think just about everything he works in comes from there from boots to pants to hoodies.
