In this contemporary media landscape, we see a lot of reviews of various forms of entertainment. Books, movies, songs and even apps rule the review world. Unfortunately, we often overlook important everyday objects. These common products may not entertain us like the latest blockbuster, but they do have the potential to cause either incredible comfort or discomfort in everyday life.

Carhartt Work Dungarees are prime legwear for any adventure, including bouldering in the snow. These pants get an overall score of 9 out of 10.
With this in mind, I present an honest, thorough and scientific review of the Carhartt Double-Front Work Dungaree, the greatest pair of pants ever made. Before we dive into my analysis of this wonder of modern society, it is important to review the qualifications. These are adventure-worthiness, comfort, durability and style.
Let’s open with style. They say style is a nebulous, indefinable value floating in its own little atmosphere. However, I think these pants are the epitome of style. Granted the entire population of Moscow may disagree, but let me make my case.
These pants are not skinny, they will not make calves look like miniature snowmen trying to escape from a spandex bag. They are not baggy either. They do not sag off the posterior. These qualities might be perceived as negatives if someone is trying to show off their underwear or calves, but for people who want their legs to look like normal legs, these pants are perfect. These pants have just enough pockets to look good and not look excessive.
Four out of four belt loops for style.
On to comfort. When freshly purchased, these pants are stiff and it is conceivable they could possibly stand up on their own. Carhartt does sell pre-worn pants for this very reason, but why spend money on a lower quality product?
Once washed a few times, these pants become super comfortable. They fit perfectly with an adequate range of motion for any activity. The waist sits comfortably without trying to climb up and eat your abs or slither down and escape your derrière. The only negative comfort factor of the pants are the rivets. On cold mornings, those freezing rivets can send chills up your bare thighs.
Overall these pants earn three early morning squeals out of five for comfort.
What good are pants if they don’t last? These pants are very durable. If you happen to be like me and fall down a lot, the double knee is much appreciated. This feature allows people to fall down twice as many times as usual before replacing the pants. After five years of aggressive use, I noticed some wear on the bottom of the pants, but this is to be expected.
Four double stitched seams out of four for durability.
I’ll conclude with what is, in my opinion, the most important feature of any item, clothing or otherwise, adventure-worthiness. These pants are definitely adventure worthy. I tested them through camping, hiking, skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, swimming, driving, trail-running, running away from wild animals, regular running, dirt biking, sliding on my butt down snow-covered mountains, shimmying across wet logs and pouring concrete, and they always performed admirably.
They offer great protection from crashing and falling over, and if a wild animal does ever catch up with me, I’m sure these pants will help protect my steaks from being devoured. I have yet to find an activity I could not complete in these pants.
In the summer, simply take your oldest pair of Carhartt pants and cut off the legs, now you have shorts that can take all the abuse you could ever throw. Be warned, however, I’m not sure anyone’s legs would look good sticking out of Carhartt cut-offs.
These pants earn five out of five wild animals evaded for adventure-worthiness.
If I was stranded in the wilderness with only one article of clothing, I would probably choose these pants. They’re that good.
