hey guys! ok so i love the koi cargo pants their so soft and comfy and have tons of pockets i can stash things and feel like everything isnt jammed in them or that its pulling on my pants having stuff in them but i feel like they fade quick, do you guys have that problem with koi pants or is it just me?
anyway even though i love them i want to try a different type of pant but i dont know which kind. i really would like to have the cargoish style with lots of pockets with a pocket on the leg because i always keep my paper and pen there and i like drawstring with a thick drawstring that actually works but i am open to suggestions.
what are your favorite scrub pants?

Yeah, Koi makes some really nice stuff. I am also a big fan. I have found with the very dark or bright colors that you do have a big issue with them fading. What I started doing is just gettings ones that look ok as they fade, I am a big fan of the light grays etc as they pretty much look the same as they fade.
About the only other thing you can do is to look for nylon or poly blends as they hold their color better

The Koi cargo pants were my favorite pair for a long time. But then I got the Dickies Generation Flex cargo pants. They have cargo pockets on both legs, plus special compartments for scissors, pen light, cell phone, etc. They are more crisp than the Koi pants, but still very comfortable. They look much neater as a result. I ordered two more pairs after realizing that there are no other pants with that many truly useful pockets AND they come in petite and white, which is what I need. The top that goes with them is terrific too.

Koi are comfy but I feel naked in them. Lets face it, if you are in an acute care setting stuff is going to get on you pants and the koi fabric is too thin. I like aviator scrubs pants, thicker fabric, too many pockets, yeah they don't make my butt look great but they feel like Im wearing armour. Right now they have one style of their pants 40 percent off, 18-19 bucks

I adore Koi pants, but they're wicked expensive. I live in the basic Cherokee half elastic waist/half drawstring bootcut pants.
