Trigger Mike Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 When my youngest was in the 1st grade he saw a commercial for Duluth trading buck naked underwear and put it on his Christmas list at school . He finally got some when he got into high school. They also advertised fire hose cargo pants. Since I wear cargo pants everywhere except church I got some. I was tending my chickens and got chicken manure on my pants. I hosed them down with the water hose and it came right off and I was not wet underneath. on another day we were riding our ATV s and had an unplanned ride through a water hole and went nearly waist deep. In a cargo pocket I had a checkbook so I moved it to my front pants pocket. once we got out of the water I checked and my check book was not wet just barely damp. I had a pistol shaped object on the inside of my waistband and there were a couple of drops of water on the parts above the pants and some minor wetness on the part in a holster but even the holster was only slightly damp. Others were soaked and had to change their pants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 While I like a lot of DTC clothing their pants are something I no longer buy. The zippers do not lock when the tab is down. So over the course of a few very active hours they will unzip themselves. I prefer my pants to stay zipped by themselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I’ve never tried Duluth Trading Co.’s pants. A few years ago I was looking at their pants and I tried out Wrangler Riggs work pants. I did not like them. They reminded me of Sears “Tough-skins” pants. I figured the Duluth “Fire Hose” pants to be the same. So, I tried Wrangler “Authentics” cargo pants and I have been wearing their pants since. Now that I think about it I have been wearing these Wranglers for 9 years. Not the same pants, obviously, but the same Brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanigan Flats Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If I ain’t wearing Cowboy clothes I generally am wearing Duluth pants. Light weight in the summer and heavier in the winter. and the zipper stays up. I buy them in person from the store in Sandy Utah and am pretty sure I embarrassed the poor salesgirl when I first went in to buy pants and told her I wanted pants that the zipper worked on because I was tired of my Johnson hanging out in public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 They are the most comfortable pants I've worn in a long time. I have 2 new pairs set aside and rotate 3 others from them. I had other cargo shorts that fit well but just received 2 pair of their firehose shorts and wore a pair this weekend. Love them. I get t shirts from the kingsize website. Their regular t shirts are long enough untucked for me unlike many others. I ordered some extra long to try at first but they are too long. I wear them for USPSA matches tucked in and they stay in. Never had an issue with the zippers on their pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
