Duluth Trading Fire Hose Work Pants

The fabric is a tightly woven 10-ounce cotton canvas with a DWR finish that sheds light rain and resists abrasion from tools, rough lumber, and jobsite debris. The gusseted crotch eliminates the blow-out failure point that kills most work pants during squatting and climbing, and the reinforced knees provide padding zones without the stiffness of built-in knee pads.

Triple-stitched seams at all stress points distribute load across the thread, and the Flex Fire Hose variant adds 2% Lycra for mobility without sacrificing durability. Duluth backs all their products with a No Bull Guarantee -- return anything that fails to meet expectations, any time.

At roughly $70, these pants cost more than a $30 pair from a big-box store, but they last 3-5 times longer under the same workload. Electricians, carpenters, and farmers have adopted Fire Hose pants as their standard uniform because the canvas gets softer with every wash while the seams hold firm.
