FAQs

What makes these pants 'lightweight'?

Despite their durability and features, the blend of cotton ripstop and polyester is engineered to be lighter than traditional heavy-duty work pants, prioritizing comfort for active use.

Can I wear knee pads with these pants?

Yes, the knees are reinforced and designed to allow for the addition of external knee pads, providing extra protection.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, paying close attention to the waist and inseam measurements. The side elastic waistband offers some flexibility.

Are these pants suitable for hot weather?

The breathable blend offers decent comfort, but the ripstop weave and DWR coating may make them warmer than very thin, purely synthetic materials. They are generally well-suited for active use across moderate to warm temperatures.

What does 'DWR coated' mean?

DWR stands for 'Durable Water Repellent'. It's a treatment applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry from light moisture and rain.

How many pockets are there exactly?

The pants feature a total of 10 pockets designed for various storage needs, including reinforced hand pockets, a magazine pocket, a cell phone pocket, and dual seat pockets.

What is the NTOA member tested and approved seal?

This indicates that the product has undergone testing and meets the standards set by the National Tactical Officers Association, a professional organization for law enforcement.

Troubleshooting

Pants feel too loose

Utilize the extra-large belt loops with a sturdy belt. The side elastic waistband provides some adjustability.

Stain not fully repelled

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For set-in stains, follow the recommended washing instructions. For persistent issues, spot cleaning with a mild detergent might be necessary.

Reduced water repellency over time

Wash according to care instructions without fabric softener. Reapply a DWR treatment spray designed for outdoor apparel after several washes to restore water resistance.

Zipper or button malfunction

Check for any fabric obstructions. If damage has occurred, a local tailor or repair service can often fix zippers and buttons.
