They're the same dependable work pants, just cut to a different fit and sizing. Our women’s work pants are tailored for the female body and some details like pocket sizes and placements may have been slightly adjusted.

For sure! We have lightweight and breathable women’s work pants that are perfect to wear in the summer as well as your heavy, hard-wearing work pants that can not only handle winter weather but also demanding work environments.

For long shifts, you'll want to prioritize mobility, comfort, and durability. Look for pants that have more of a relaxed fit or straight legs. You'll also want to look for articulated knees and reinforced fabrics like double fronts, triple stitching or even CORDURA®-reinforcements. To keep comfortable, look for our Flexbelt® waistband or for elastic in the material composition, as these features provide a little extra stretch to keep comfortable when on the grind.
