1620 Workwear Double Knee Utility Pant 2.0 vs Carhartt Ripstop Cargo Work Pants

Buy the 1620 Double Knee Utility Pant 2.0 if you kneel, crawl or work around heat and want the tougher pant. Its 14 oz Stretch NYCO fabric, kneepad-compatible reinforced knees, dual hammer loops and no-melt/no-drip rating beat the Carhartt on abrasion resistance and job-site abuse. The Carhartt Ripstop Cargo is the lighter, stretchier, cooler option with FastDry moisture wicking and a relaxed straight leg, and it costs far less. Owners of the 1620 call it durable and comfortable with a fit that is neither too big nor too slim; the Carhartt is the easier all-day pant for warm weather and general cargo use.

• Choose the 1620 Double Knee Utility Pant 2.0 if you kneel, crawl or work near heat and want reinforced knees, kneepad compatibility and the highest abrasion resistance.
• Choose the Carhartt Ripstop Cargo Work Pant if you want a lighter, stretchy, fast-drying cargo pant for warm days and general work.
