Women's Super Flex Straight Leg Cargo Pants
The verdict
Fit
Straight leg with added stretch through the seat and thigh; true-to-size, with the stretch fabric allowing a closer fit than non-stretch cargo pants.
Quality
The stretch blend trades some of the abrasion resistance of pure cotton duck for flexibility, so expect comfortable but moderate-duty construction rather than heavy workwear toughness.
Price check
At $40 this sits at the low-to-mid end for the category, and the price is reasonable for a stretch cargo pant rather than inflated.
Best for
Someone who wants cargo pockets and all-day comfort over maximum durability.
Care
Machine wash cold and avoid high heat drying to protect the stretch fibers.

Dickies pants: what reviews say
Long-term owners describe Dickies pants' poly-cotton twill as tough — it 'resists abrasion, sheds light dirt, and holds its shape' — but note durability is uneven across the garment: 'the fabric often outlasts the small components,' with 'pocket corners, pocket edges, and closures (zippers/buttons)' failing before the main cloth, plus inner-thigh abrasion and knee wear in high-movement jobs. A separate hands-on review of the workwear line praised the build quality directly, calling out 'top-notch feel' materials and pocket construction, with a reinforced hem noted as 'a nice touch' where shoes cause added wear.
- Strengths
- Reviewers agree the core twill fabric itself is tough and abrasion-resistant, holding its shape wash after wash.
- Watch out for
- The recurring failure point isn't the fabric but the hardware and stress points — pocket corners, seams, and zipper or button closures tend to go before the cloth does.
- Sizing
- Fit varies by cut within the line — reviewers say the waist should sit secure without pulling at the button when seated and the thighs should allow a full squat without tightness, with roomier fits feeling bulkier and slimmer fits offering less give.
