Carhartt Women’s Force Fitted Midweight Utility Legging

Good material
I was actually impressed with how durable the material feels, it’s thick but not too thick to be stiff. It’s also soft enough and stretchy for bending at the waist and the knees. I ordered the XL in black, and it looks great, and fits amazing. It is not see through at all, like this is an actual work pant/legging and is definitely worth the price.

Perfect fit!
Durable, sleek, well fitting, flexible fabric, thinner but not cheap. My job involves heavy labor, lots of moving, climbing, standing, squatting. The material is lighter and mid to light weight. The seams are well made. If you have plumper theighs they may cut into the top of them at the seam. Other than that these are perfect. I love the blackberry. I originally ordered an extra large but they have an extra wide seeming fit if you order them in short, I sized down because I don’t like gaping in the thighs and back side. The large. Fit like a glove! I have wide hips but a smaller waistline. I will be ordering them all in all the colors. A little pricey but it’s perfect for labor in spring and summer and have something durable that won’t snag or tear and will last. And comfy.

Perfect for outdoor adventure
I LOVE these britches. They’re perfect for hiking, riding horses, riding 4wheelers, any sort of outdoor work or activity. I have worn them muddling 3x and gone through major mud holes and water where I expected to be freezing and feel wet. Water seemed to roll off of them well. They’re not 100% water proof of course, but a decent water resistant, durable pant. I love the pockets! There are several! I love that even in 40degree weather riding in water and mud I didn’t feel wet or cold for majority of the ride. They are a sturdy, durable material that briars and limbs didn’t seem to penetrate in any major way. When I did catch a briar, it didn’t scratch my skin; only caught the pants and then was gone. There have been no snags or holes thus far either. I’ve also shook the dry mud off and thrown them back on for a later ride and they were already dry. I love them. The one thing I am glad I read prior to purchasing is many said they were big on them. I’m a size 6 and 38 inch hips. I ordered a small. They are comfy in my waist all day long, but they can take a little tugging to get over my hips. If I had ordered a medium theyd have been way too big in the waist, as well as in the thighs and calves. Even though I ordered a small thinking they’d fit snugly like a legging, they are still a little roomier in the legs than I’d prefer. I wear socks over the ankle and up my calf and boots and I hate having to fold, tuck, twist my pants into my sock and boot. I prob could have gotten an XS for that type of fit I wanted, but might need an extra set of hands to get them over these hips. Lol I will he ordering another pair and trying out the XS soon just to see. Small is a Great fit for girls with more junk in their trunk and bigger quads and calves than I but similar waist and hip circumference!

Mismatched pocket most noticeable in Black
I HATE the mismatched patch pockets! I know the idea to make the patch pockets out of a different colored material were a design choice… but it’s a BAD one IMO.They might be cute on a skinny-mini, but on larger full-sized adults, the darker patch pockets draw the eye to my wider backside and hips… which I don’t need in skintight leggings. Thankfully the odd patch pockets are not as noticeable in the other colors.I purchased the Black, Navy, and Coffee Brown. On the Black… the slightly darker patch pockets are most noticeable and just look weird… subtle enough in broad daylight to look like a mistake.According to the listing images, the Coffee Brown & Navy also used darker fabric for the patch pockets, but in real life it’s either not the case or they are less noticeable.I wanted Black. And the truth is I don’t really like either of the alternate colors and debating which to keep, if either. The Coffee Brown is not quite olive drab, and not quite dark brown. In between the two is an unflattering color. If it were more olive or darker it would be better. The Navy Blue is a little too vibrant and not dark enough. Would be better if it was more Marine Blue (greener tone) or darker Navy Blue (closer to black).It’s frustrating because colors-aside, these are great pants! I’m 5’11 and wear 12/14… more 14 right now. The XL Tall are perfect. The legs are long enough for my 32″ inseam. The rise is tall enough to not slide down when I bend over or sit. The front pockets are deep enough to actually put hands in. I can carry a pair of gloves in the back. My phone fits in the side tool pocket on the side. They’re thick and sturdy enough for between-season yard work, winter hiking, and horseback riding.Dear Carhartt—please make a black pair using the same material for the legs and pockets.

loving the burgundy color of these. already have a few pairs of the regular & the insulated in black & just ordered the navy. they are durable and the phone pocket is really handy & fits larger phones. great for barn chores & wrenching etc but still look great. personally, the waist could be a smidge looser and possibly higher, but i’m not a typical small waisted/curvy type. i’m tall & lanky (all legs), so even the tall could be preferably longer for me, but i still really like them. they fit fairly true to size.

These are great everyday work pants. GREAT pockets, higher waist. slip on, and I am sure they will last a long time.. The reinforced knee is awesome. Just wish I could have the same pant with stirrups.

Hands down favourite work pants! The material is thicker than the average legging. I’d say they’re like Leggings with reenforced knees and great pockets to hold phones and small tools. My movement is unrestricted and I highly doubt I’ll rip them while working. Love these pants!
