I've been a painter/ wallpaper installer for 45 yrs & have always worn whites. But it's always been men's wear & not always comfortable.
I tried another companies
" women's " pants but didn't like the fit.
Thrive's women's pants are like wearing my favorite skinny jeans. They move with me, have a great feel & seem to wear well. I just ordered more! I also have been wearing their shorts & they're just as comfortable even as men's wear. Highly recommend this company.
There didn't appear to be much cushion in the knee pad of any unless they come separate in the package. I must have overlooked them because I did not see any. Never wore,returned for smaller size. They appear to be higher quality.
Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback! Just a heads-up that the SQUISH Knee Pad Inserts are sold separately and are not included with the PRO pants.
That may explain it!
if you need to place an order for pads, let us know and will gladly honor the bundled savings discount price for you.
Better than blakladders and contras, but not as good as the O.G. Thrive 7820 FR.
I figured lighter ripstop might be cooler than the 7820's. If they are it is not a noticeable difference. There are subtle changes to the pocket sizes; they all seem just a little bit smaller. My daily load out has had to change. Hopefully they break-in over time and become softer and comfortable like the 7820's. Hopefully they are as durable as the 7820's as the only issues I have had with the 7820's are snagged cargo pockets and the eventual rip in the crotch seam.
I have purchased just about every brand available and I say that without exaggeration. Dozens from Amazon, normal stores selling “utility white pants”, dickies (which I actually love they just don’t make my size; I fluctuate from a size 23-26” so their 28” sag on me) along with all the new upcoming brands that claim to be high rise but aren’t. No other brand fits like these do. I will say Dickies seem to stay whiter longer but it’s no comparison as those are cotton and these aren’t. Please do not stop making these. They are truly the only brand that fit comfortably and move with my body while working. I’ve tried them ALL. These are it.
Hi Erika, we're thrilled to hear these pants fit you perfectly! Thank you for your detailed feedback and support. We'll do our best to keep making them just the way you like. Happy working!
