Who It's For

These pants are aimed at industry professionals who require certified flame resistant clothing but still need a flexible work pant. They suit welders, electricians, oil and gas technicians, and shop workers who spend hours kneeling, bending, and carrying tools; the reinforced knees and multiple pockets are practical for those tasks.
