Amber bought me a pair of fire hose pants for Christmas. I wore them today to do some clean-up work outside. Right off the bat, there are two things that are awesome about these pants: 1) There is a diamond-cut panel in the crotch area that gives the boys the room they need when you bend down. This feature alone makes them worth their premium cost. It works, makes a huge, noticeable difference in comfort. 2) There are about 12 belt loops on the waistband. Not the typical wussy belt loops either. These things will let you say no to butt crack if you have a decent belt. The material they are made of seems very tough, they claim they outlast all other pants by 3x. The pockets are deep, and easy to get your hands and stuff in and out. I rarely get very excited about clothes, but these pants have some promise!
