Carhartt pants have been around for a long time – for over 100 years, as a matter of fact – and they’ve made a name for themselves by offering durability, function and comfort that keeps loyal customers coming back year after year. Carhartt has also mastered the ability to innovate pants to fit the demands of the growing workforce. And while certain styles may very well stand the test of time – we’re looking at you B11 —  Carhartt isn’t afraid to launch new styles that push customer expectations to new levels and attract an entirely new generation of workers to their long-lasting products. Below are the innovative Carhartt pants that are kicking butt – ahem, forging new paths – on to the job site and the jobs we think they’re best-suited to tackle.

Full Swing Cryder Dungaree 2.0 (Style 102812)

All of Carhartt’s pants are built to endure whatever you throw at them, but these Dungarees are specially fitted to repel water with Carhartt’s Rain Defender® technology. Even better, these pants are equipped with articulated knees, which make squatting and kneeling easier. As with all of the pants on this list, the Full Swing Cryder Dungaree 2.0 is made from Rugged Flex® technology. What exactly is Rugged Flex®? It’s a special fabric made with a small percentage of spandex, resulting in a soft and flexible garment that will move with your body, not against it. This particular pant also features a 39% polyester blend, which adds strength and durability. Available in burnt olive, shadow, and Yukon colors.
