Cherokee Women's Mid Rise Straight Leg Cargo Scrub Pants - 6 Pockets

In this review of the Cherokee Women's Mid Rise Straight Leg Pull-on Cargo Pant (WW170) the bottom line is simple: these are workday pants built for comfort and storage. The reviewer liked the rib-knit comfort-fit waistband with inside elastic, which keeps the pants secure during long shifts, and the six-pocket layout that makes tools and personal items easy to reach. For medical and other uniformed professionals who need durable fabric with a neat, straight-leg silhouette, this pant balances function and a polished look without feeling stiff.

Key Features

• Comfort-fit waistband: A rib-knit waist with reinforced elastic provides supportive pull-on ease that reduces pressure and stays comfortable on long shifts.
• Six practical pockets: Front patch pockets, two cargo pockets and two back pockets give organized storage so essentials are always within reach.
• Durable, soft fabric: The poplin blend resists fading and stands up to repeated washes while remaining soft against the skin.
• Mid-rise, straight-leg cut: The modern classic fit with a 31 in inseam and 17.5 in leg opening offers a flattering, professional silhouette that allows easy movement.
• 2-way stretch and side vents: Stretch across the weave and side leg vents add mobility and ventilation for active workdays.
• Easy care: Machine wash cold and tumble dry low for low-effort maintenance between shifts.

Who It's For

These scrub pants are best for women working in clinical settings, veterinary care, dental practices, or any job that requires a mix of mobility and on-the-job storage. The straight-leg profile and mid-rise suit professionals who prefer a classic, uncluttered appearance with functional cargo pockets.

Those who want a very fitted, fashion-forward scrub pant or who need a heavy-duty waterproof fabric should look elsewhere; the WW170 emphasizes comfort, lightweight durability and washability rather than specialized weather protection or a skin-tight fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros
