In my quest to snag some pants I can use for any outdoor activities (yard work, hiking, hunting etc) that will do the trick 99% of what I want, minus hip vents, I happened to walk buy the Kirkland Tech pants in Costco Saturday. They had three colors - gray, brown, and black. Grabbed the gray and brown. For $19.99, and the ability to return whenever - I saw it as a no brainer to snag two pairs.
The pants come with one rear zippered pocket on the seat, one open pocket, and one zippered leg/thigh pocket. The thigh pocket fits an iPhone 13pro no issues. The waist is spot on for what I typically wear- 34. Initially the thigh area seemed tight but I quickly forgot about it when I was out working the yard. Unlike some other pants - like the wrangler ATG - the length was actually correct and not bell bottom like depending on where they were made.
I put the gray set to the use immediately - and wore through roughly 6 hours of yard work today. No issues - even in the 97+ heat. With some of the wrangler pants or similar I have issues with the seat/legs not stretching so well and ride up. no issues.
Minuses - don’t have an integrated belt or hip vents. Or say Sitka, Kuiu, or first lite on them.
Overall - if your local Costco has them, I’d say give them a shot. I may go back and get one more pair of each just because I know they cycle through and don’t always carry the same stuff. I’d definitely buy a bunch of these over other tech pants for three to 10 times the price.
