Hey all. I am in the market for some new scrubs and I have heard good things about these. Anyone have an opinion on them? I just want to make sure they are worth it since they are quite expensive. I want a lot of pockets since I am usually "inspector gadget" of the unit. Also, I like the fact that they have zippers and are belted, but I am concerned with the quality of the fabric and zipper strength. Thanks for any help!

Quality is as good as it gets, well worth the $$. As for the zipper fly, pointless, they don't go all the way up--you still need to pull them down to go;). I paid the extra for the zipper and wish I had not.
I like the ER pockets in the pants and the cargo pocket shirt myself.

Thanks for the input. I was considering the ER pants with one of the shirts with a lot of pockets. Is there any difference between ER pockets and the regular cargo ones? It's good to know about the zipper. Saves me some $$$.

I have four sets of ciel blue Aviator scrubs. The quality is excellent, after 16 months of continuous wear, they still look new. Aviator should give me commission based on the number of our nurses wearing Aviator scrubs now.
Sounds like they are well worth the money. I think I will get one pair and try them out myself. I'll let you know.

I've been wearing them for a couple years now and will never wear another brand. They are very sturdy and are actually long enough for my 34" inseam. Another note, I tried the lighter fabric and did not like it as well as the regular fabric--light stuff doesn't seem to hold up as well.

I have them and love them, they do seem to last for ever, I have some with the zipper and they do zip all the way up for me so I like that.
Overall I highly recommend them

Now that's odd about the fly zipper....I ordered a pair, and didn't see the "option" for the zipper fly, so I just sent them back. Without a fly zipper, it's kinda a hassle hitting the head (bathroom), so to speak.

they do custom everything; "zipper fly", custom length scrub top sleeves. there is an optional light weight fabric, i like the ciel blue and black colors. once you have selected the options for the scrubs you want, i would then call in your order: 1 - 888 - 201 - 2297; just to make sure they know exactly what to start sewing up! their scrub pants with the pockets are cool looking yet functional. i hope this helps!:paw:
I thought I'd give you all an update. I just got my first pair the other day. I went with the ER pants and the "trauma" shirt. Basically I went with the top and pants with the most pockets (I'm a gear geek). I am very happy with the quality of the fabric. It feels like canvas, but is more comfortable. I will see how it holds up over time. The number of pockets is crazy. I can fit my scissors, steth, wallet, keys, phone, notepad, and other random junk in just the cargo pockets. They were a bit baggy for me, but I think they will shrink a bit in the wash. Overall, the scrubs are expensive, but seem worth the money if you wear scrubs all the time.
