Great
I own 4 pairs of ‘em and got some for my crew. Greatest paint pants I’ve ever owned 👍🏽
Hi Reagen, thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that our work pants meet your expectations and serve your crew well. We appreciate your support and look forward to providing you with more quality gear.
There didn't appear to be much cushion in the knee pad of any unless they come separate in the package. I must have overlooked them because I did not see any. Never wore,returned for smaller size. They appear to be higher quality.
Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback! Just a heads-up that the SQUISH Knee Pad Inserts are sold separately and are not included with the PRO pants.
That may explain it!
if you need to place an order for pads, let us know and will gladly honor the bundled savings discount price for you.
They are very comfortable. My wife would like to know if there are girls paint shorts though
Hi William, we're glad you find the pants comfortable! Our team is working diligently on expanding the 054W Women's Painter Wear line to include shorts- stay tuned! Thanks for your feedback!
They feel comfortable and fit well. I’ll know more in a few months after wearing. Because of the cost I do not want to get them dirty. Lol
I only wore them for one day, but can already tell they are superior to dickies. Very comfortable, stretchy, breathable. I will be purchasing more for sure!!
Most definitely worth it! There the only painter pants I want to wear for now on. It's amazing on how much you can move in them and just the knee pads alone makes them a whole much better! I feel like a new person in them.
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.
