I feel like it's hard to find work pants that both have leg pockets and aren't either too baggy or too tight, or have too high of a waist/long crotch -to-waist length. I hate having to hike up my pants every time i crouch down or need to lift my leg high because the crotch is too low and limits my movement, or having tight legs bind, or having to wear my pants waist at my belly button to avoid the above. I used to like the classic double knee you-know-whose pants, but they made their already-too-long crotch even longer and now I need to wear them under my nipples to be able to walk anywhere. I'm over it.anyway, these are a nice fit. good crotch length that allows for free movement when worn at my actual hip joint (I guess I would describe this as below the hip bone but above the tailbone - the natural place for a belt to sit on me, anyway) and I guess the flexible mesh in the crotch an behind the knees gives a bit of extra flex as well. we'll see how long they last.my big beef is that the extra pockets are all on one side (like do I really need four pockets all stacked directly on top of each other?? I could use one on the other leg...) and that only the zipper pocket is deep enough for a smart phone to go all the way in (even a 'small' one) but that one is both too high to bend the leg without pinching the pocket and also too close to the regular pocket, so if I have something hard like keys in the regular pocket, the phone screen could get crushed by it when pressing against it (like when you lift something heavy or lean over something) anyway the velcro pocket is the only one that makes sense to hold a phone.all in all they're comfy and I'll see how long they last. best option I've found so far that wasn't $150...
