Reviews

good

"Comfort 5/5 Color 4/5, not a solid black and more like a realy dark gray resistance, the last long I've used other flight pants and shorts for a couple of years and they are strong. However, the shape or siloute deteriorates quite fast around the knees in the case of the pants, and they look old quite fast. Perfect clothing for active work like hospitality or tourism if you are willing to pay a bit extra, it's a versatile article that suits casual outfits, outdoors and even smart outfits. My feeling is that they are costy but I keep buying them any time there are discounts available."

— David B. (4/5)
