Report back on those T3’s…. I’m really curious about the fleece lining. I was too skurred to bite the bullet on those too.
I love wearing my fleece lined Wrangler pants, so I'm hoping these are similar. Perfect pant for 30-50 degree days without needing to put on the Carhart bibs. Fingers crossed!

I've got an assortment of flannel lined (couple pairs) and fleece lined (half a dozen maybe.) The flannel lined are great if it is windy and 40 degrees. 30 and below and the fleece lined shine. Stop even more wind than the flannel lined. I've run a lot of different brands over the years.

I've never bought the brand in this thread. I can only imagine if $20-40 fleece lined are good, these will be better. I'll be following along. Still need grease/oil/hydraulic fluid resistant clothes. Not spending big coin on work clothes and seeing them ruined in week one.

A stain is hardly ruined in my book. Wearing a pair of pants out in under a year is not okay to me. Not being able to get multiple days out of a single wash is also not okay to me. (Within reason obviously) Add those together and add comfortably, I'm in. I don't come home and have to change pants to be comfortable in my chair. I can drive, climb around on equipment, kneel down, squat, walk miles and never have an adjustment issue. All things you don't realize have changed until you go back to jeans for a while, lol. If none of that bothers you, then this kind of product isn't for you. Talking about the difference in a base model truck and cooled seats. Sure it isn't needed for function, but it sure is nice to reach a point in life to be comfortable.

I admired @Quantum673 pants this weekend. I can definitely see a pair of pants in my future.

Don't forget to buy some smartwool socks while spending all this money!
I prefer darn tough... smartwool wear out too fast for me

I'm impressed that the T3 isn't stupid thick.
Same. Mine showed up today. I was instantly pleased with both and can see what the hype is about. The T3s are thinner than my Wranglers and I prefer the grid-style fleece in the T3 over the blanket style in the Wranglers. These pants are pretty bad ass. Can't wait to put in a good day's work in a pair.

I would say they fit me personally better than jeans. I have not worn blue jeans for 20 years because they don't ever fit me worth a damn.

I've had some time to break in both pairs and these pants are the real deal. Never had so many people comment on a pair of pants! The fleece lined one are perfect for days under 50 degrees. They might be the most comfortable pants I've ever worn of any cut and style, so that's a huge plus. Overall, if you've contemplated a pair of quality work pants like these, DO IT!

I just wore my one pair of T2’s for 3 days straight lol. They weren’t dirty so I just kept rocking them. Most comfortable and functional work pants ever. I will be buying more in the future.

Dude, I've worn these like 5 or 6 days in a row. They just don't seem to get too dirty too easilhy unless I'm rolling around in the mud or sweating like a pig all day in them.

I actually skinned a dozen muskrats one of those nights while wearing them. I noticed a few times some errant blood splatter hit me. The DWR treatment they use on these pants is incredible… The blood beaded like it hit Rain-X, and basically brushed right off leaving no trace of it behind. So you’re absolutely right, they’re damn near resistant to getting dirty.

The other thing is they don’t loosen up or get “sloppy” after repeated wearing, like blue jeans or khakis and such. I like the fit and feel of a crisp pair of pants and these definitely keep that feel longer than most.
