After researching for comfortable painters pants and shirts. I decided on purchasing the shorts and pants from Thrive work wear. I was very happy with the decision. They are the most comfortable pants and shorts that I have worn. Not only were they comfortable but the price is great compare to other companies. I will definitely be purchasing a few more pairs.
Perfect! Stretchy and snug, pockets are in the perfect locations
My new favorite painter shorts and pants, so comfy.
Pants run a little long I usually wear 34/30 pants I had to return and purchase 34/29. I've been wearing them for over a month now and think they're fantastic. Thank you Thrive
Durable and stretchy...bunch of pockets for all my bs.. ..I'm gonna get another pair
Excellent quality and comfort
Great shorts very comfortable I’ll be buying more
Amazing!
I have been painting for 3 years and never have been able to look professional because no paints fit me they were always too loose or too long so I’m so happy with these they are perfect
Hi Kimberly, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the Women's Painter’s CORE Work Pants! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I've had a pair for a long time and they are very comfortable and have a great fit. The kneepads awesome. I love that you can leave them in to wash. Just bought 3 more pair in the different colors for work uniforms. Thanks Thrive!
I love these paints. They actually have the most deep pockets that hold my tools and other items than any other work pant. They feel great and have held up to my work load. I have been using mine for almost a year and they still look great. I've been able to get stains out easily. Thanks for providing such a great pair of women's work pants. These are amazing!!!
We're thrilled to hear you love the Women's 054 Painter’s CORE Work Pants! Thank you for your kind words and for being a dedicated worker. We're proud to support women on the job!
Been using premium Dickies for a long time. They stopped selling the board short style so I tried out Thrive and I love them. Very comfortable and functional. Not going back
I’ve had a hard time finding woman’s pants for paint/construction, these are awesome. I now have 4 pairs!!
I've been wearing these pants at work for a few weeks now, and they are mostly great. They seem well constructed, great pocket options, and the top-load knee-pad setup is convenient. The fabric has just enough give to balance comfort and durability. I'm subtracting a star because the knee-pad pockets don't come down low enough. I would like to have 3-4 more inches of pad on the floor when I'm kneeling, whereas the way they are has most of the pad above the part that touches the floor. However, I had originally tried a competing brand and had the same problem (plus other problems), so the knee height may just be something unique about my body proportions? For this reason, I'm not able to use their high quality yellow inserts due to the tapering, but I cut my own pads to maximize the surface area at the bottom of the square knee-pad pocket. Overall, these are fine pants, and I'm using them everyday at work for a better knee experience.
