the thing about the carhart pants i dont like is that that dont have enough pockets, and i have torn a few pairs just from setpping up onto something while i have something in my pocket.

i have a pair set of red cap pants, and they have a looser fit on the thighs with the same size waist, and they have cargo pockets on the side, i never had a problem with anything falling out of the cargo pockets and they are pretty roomy

Look into Snickers work wear. they aren't too heavy, good reinforcements, great pockets, and some styles of thier britches have Knee pads built into them. They are the coolest work pant I've seen. My friend Is freshly from Norway and Snickers are all he wears to work. I believe they are made in Sweeden. I have looked at them on ebay as well.

Oh yeah, I forgot, they are called Snickers in Sweeden, but because of the American candybar having the copy right on that name, they are called Skillers work wear here in the states

I use those BETA workwear called pants. They have these Cordura nylon covered Knees and you can insert those paddings into them. Big pockets, well made. If you throw them in the washer, they always come out clean, no matter what was sticking on them.

I like the wrangler Riggs style carpenter jeans. Nice deep pockets and they last forever.

I work offshore as a diver, bib carhartts and red wing slip on boots. Dont matter how wet they get, they last. Plus it hardens your skin.

Or you could do what I did is wear a belt and put everything in pouches on the belt. My leatherman, fire radio, cell phone, keys clip on my belt loop... This way I can roll around under fire trucks and such and not lose anything...
