Reviews

The Best!

"These are hands down the best pants I own! So comfortable and extremely durable"

— Kyle S. (5/5)

Great pants

"I bought these after enjoying a pair of simple pants in mid weight. Great fabric and details on both pants. The pocket depth works well for my hands. Could be deeper for retaining contents. I appreciate the challenge pants cargo pockets for safe storage. Deep enough to hold a standard iPhone without flopping around excessively. I like the narrow seams and perforations for drainage rather than sewn mesh panels. They wash in a bucket and don’t seem to wear. Wish they had more stock right now. The challenge pants feel like the waist is an inch less than the pair of simple pants I have. The challenge fit me better."

— Matthew B. (5/5)

Tough is as tough does

"I wear these all the time. They flex, they're functional, lightweight but protective, easy to to pack for travel, fast-drying, and tough to tear. What else could you ask from clothes made for action?"

— Andrew D. (5/5)

High Quality

"Goruck clothing is tricky due to the cut. A few items fit me okay once I size down (American Polo, Merino tee, grid fleeces), the rest I would need to take to a tailor for it to fit correctly. If I win the Lotto, it’s happening, until then, I have found brands that simply fit me better."

Love these can’t wait for the other colors!

"I absolutely love these pants! They are great weight, tough and look cool. Rule number 1."

— Andy C. (5/5)

Solid Pants

"These are solid pants from GORUCK. Well made, comfortable and durable like other product purchased from GORUCK."

— James J. (5/5)

Best Pants

"Size was spot on, super comfortable and light. Allow for wide range of movement."

— James J. (5/5)

Great pants

"Great pant that live up to the standards"

— Michael S. (5/5)

Top notch pants!

"All 3 of my guys spent 5 days wearing these pants shooting at Camp Perry last week. They are amazing pants! All 3 love how comfortable and cool they were. They loved how quickly they dried once we got to the firing line too. The pocket placement is ideal. These are a must have item in your husband and son’s closet!!"

— Shasta G. (5/5)

Best pants for hot weather

"The only way I could have rated these pants terrible was if the rating meant they were terribly great. The pants are light weight, breathable but still feel durable. I use them for exercise and the range of movement you get is superb. They dry so fast that I don't even have to hang them out to dry or put them in the dryer, I can wear them straight out of the wash. The pocket placement is good and the front pockets are high. High pockets are good for keeping your stuff inside as opposed to on the ground because things fell out. I can't wait to order another pair."

— Armando R. (5/5)
