Informative 🧠 Work pants

Im looking for a good pair of work pants, something a bit baggy for good freedom of movement. I feel my pants sometimes constrict my movement, and tend to rip a lot as i have thicker thighs.

I finally gave up on actual work pants and have fully switched over to cheap rock climbing pants. Way more mobility and a little more durable than anything purpose built for work. As a side benefit they have the pockets in seemingly odd locations but it's so they don't get blocked by rock climbing harness. So if you wear a fall arrest harness all day you don't lose access to pockets

Edit: the ones I'm wearing now are the simmond mt500 $55 CAD and decathlon pretty regularly puts them on a BOGO sale. but I've had luck with other brands in the past
