Reviews

Men’s challenge pants

"They will stand anything you throw at them get soaked and dry whilst still moving I have merino socks 3 pairs of macv 2 boots it’s all great gear"

— Ian w. (5/5)

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)

Super-fast Drying

"I haven't had a chance to beat these up yet, but they fit right. The material feels really thin, and they air-dried in about 2 minutes after the wash. I'm anxious to see how tough they are, based on other's reviews."

— Seth F. (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."

A good purchase

"This is the first pair of challenge pants I have purchased, and have not had the opportunity to put them to the test, yet. The have a good fit and seem like they will work great for me."

— Sherman D. (5/5)

Light and Comfy but Swishy Sounding

"My husband likes them a lot. They’re very light and comfy. However, they are very swishy! They make swish sounds when walking, so for that reason 4 stars"

— Kimberly L. (4/5)
