It's tough to take a customer favorite pair of pants and make them better... But we did. The Tech II Pants are the new and improved version of our popular Tech Pants. We kept the same incredible 8 oz. nylon fabric and fit, so you can continue your quest to wear these babies out (good luck with that, by the way). However, we contoured both the hand and cargo pockets for easy and ergonomic hand entry, lined the hand pockets with mesh for added breathability and added a Teflon™ fabric protector for oil and water resistance. You're welcome.

• Teflon Fabric Protector Repels Most Water and Oil-based Liquids

Reviewed by Kyle Old style actually felt like work pants. Now they feel like khakis with cargo pockets with a gusseted crotch. I'd happily trade my new pair for the older style in a heart beat.

Reviewed by Dan I've had my Tech II for 6 years going now....and I wear them every single day. Recently took a tumble on a job and Lo and behold, I had bad bruises on both my legs and not a single scratch let alone a tear on the tech II? How is that possible? Definitely buying another one

Reviewed by JO My tech II pants are probably going on 8 years old now. I hike/backpack and work in them. They are just now starting to lose stitching in the back pocket and the right ankle. The ankle stitching is more a function of getting caught on boots while hiking. Arborwear makes quality, durable products and the staff should be proud of their workmanship.

Reviewed by Kyle S. Tech II Pants: There is no equal. I started with a company a few years ago and we use a uniform company to provide our company uniforms. I couldn’t stand wearing the pants they provided to do the type of work we do! Found out we had approved the Arborwear Tech II Pants... LIFE-CHANGING!

Reviewed by Bryce E. Great pants! Have had the same pair for 3 years and still going strong.

Reviewed by Rurik I've only had these about 2 weeks so far, but I absolutely love them. I'm a backcountry ranger by profession, and these pants are perfect for the high mobility, long days of bushwhacking through dense underbrush and some of the moderate trail work I've done so far. Every time I put them on, it feels like I'm putting my pajamas on. They're light, comfortable, the gusset is spot on as usual, and so far they've been more durable than most hiking pants I've worn. The cargo pockets are placed just right for hiking comfortable, but the knife pocket in the right cargo pocket is a little tough to access because of the way its opening faces. The downsides are that they don't breathe very well, maybe a bit less than the original pants. That being said, these are lighter and more comfortable for hiking in. The sizing is just like the original Arborwear pants I have. I'm 5'10 on a good day, and a dense 180-190 pounds. The actual measurement of my waist is ~34.5"; the 34x30 fits like a dream. As I've only had these a week, I can't speak for the durability of them. I will try and remember to come back to leave another review in a couple months.
