I kicked the **** out of these pants for about five years of aggressive tree work, bike commuting, hiking, and various other dirty/rugged/messy activities. They outlasted a few other brands I tried first—plus are lighter, fit better, breath more, and dry faster. When I eventually wore holes through the knees (but not the crotch like every other pants I bike in), 1620 repaired them and sent them back. Now I’m still wearing them to work around home, and my girlfriend (like a few exes before her) thinks they look **** on me. Highly recommended!

My double knees are 9 years old and still going strong. This purchase of the foundation pant is for use at my night job. I am an ice technician at the local hockey rink. I need a rip resistant, water resistant, quick drying pant that will look NEW for as long as possible. Yes. They’re stiff out of the package. I know from experience that bomb proof means stiffer material. I wear thermals under them. The material doesn’t bother my skin. This NYCO material is why I bought 1620 again.

Will consider the insulated double knee for the upcoming winter

Always love this brand and everything i own from them

Great fit. Quality materials abd workmanship. USA!!

I love these pants. The material is really nice. Thick but not overly heavy. The shape is nice too. The pants aren’t too tight, nor too baggy. They are very good qualify. My only issue is with the rise. The pants have a lower rise. I would prefer them to sit a bit higher. Also they do shrink a bit. In the future I’d order an inch bigger in the waist and the inseam. Great pants though. Thank you.
