Cool stuff for guys: Aroborwear Ascender pants

You going after cool stuff for guys? Check out Arborwear’s Ascender pants. I call them pants-plus. And they’re the a++-kickin-est pants you’ve never heard of. Here’s a shortlist of why they’ll go a long way.

Cool stuff for guys means gear that helps you rise above. Arborwear Ascender work pants help get you there.

 

Whether you use Arborwear’s Ascender pants building, doing weekend DIY, camping, cutting down trees (this is the world they were designed for), crashing your mountain bike, or any number of other awesome cool stuff for guys activities these trousers are tricked.

-Crotch check. The second thing to go on my work pants is typically the crotch. Sitting on a roof peak or bending down 8,000 times to measure, pick something up or nail something down, they just go. The Ascender crotch has Aroborwear’s Rugged Gusset. Streeeeetch…feels like it’s gonna last.

-Knees. Knees go first on my work pants. Not on these. The knee area is reinforced with a second layer of uber-tough fabric. What I also like is that it repels dirt, water and even grass clippings nicely. A kneel-down in squishy ground to measure, fasten, or drive a tent-stake ‘aint so squishy.

-Pockets. I almost didn’t bother putting these on. I’m what you’d call an ‘anti-fan’ of anything in the ‘cargo pocket’ category. They’re infuriating and useless; not big enough to carry anything worth carrying, but big enough to snag on things—chain-link fences, bushes, ladder rungs, branches—which sends me from Zero-to-Torqued in no-time-flat. But the cargo pocket on the Ascender’s left thigh is tight and it carries two things I hate carrying while I work: My cell phone and keys.

-Comfort. Are you kidding me with these things?! Awesomely comfortable. Like sweatpants, only it doesn’t look like you slept in your car. They’re light and enable you to climb through joists, bushwhack, or monkey through the branches of a white pine.

These are a warmer weather garment. They breath well—which means they breath in winter weather while they breath out summer sweat. Not a problem. Just an observation.

So if you want a trouser (love that word) that meets the cool stuff for guys promise—that you can do your high-kicks in or build the hell out of a deck in—check out Arborwear’s Ascender pants and rise to the top. That’s cool stuff for guys.

Reinforcing fabric on the Arborwear Ascender pants makes them super-tough.
This is the anti-cargo pocket cargo pocket. Awesome for phone and keys.

 

Tough AND comfortable. Arborwear Ascender pants are cool stuff for guys for sure.
