CookCool® Mesh #SMART® Chef Pants

"Overall, these pants are very comfortable and breathe great. My only complaints would be the pants leg is just a little long (I am 6'3), and I bought 36-38 waist but the belt is big enough for a pair 2-4 sizes larger so you have to tuck it away in your pants since there are no belt loops to feed it through."

"PLUS Great for steamy DC summers--which is why I got them. MINUS The belt is too long for the waist and there is no good way to deal with the excess."

"I really didn't like the belt on the pants but other than that I am very satisfied!"

"Well i must admit Im not a cook but a refrigeration mechanic on tractor trailers. I work outside all times of year and all weather. Ive been looking for some comfortable pants that can breath.Working on the engine in the sun and muggy weather suck. Well I found these on line and I LOVE THEM! I have the (1) large and (2)X large (I'm a 36). I like the X better little baggier.. Big fan will be buying more soon! wish had belt loops but if I'm comfy and thats all I care! I'll deal with no belt loops! lol.. "

"If you are a woman do not buy these pants. They are not designed for a woman's body. I really wanted them to work out for the summer months when it's really hot in the kitchen but sadly I'll wait until they make them specifically designed for a woman. "

"These chef pants are the best I've ever had and I would recommend them to anyone."

"inseam is a bit long but nothing rolling cuffs doesn't cure"

"I bought 2 pairs almost half a year ago. Use them 6 days a week no problems besides the Velcro seems to be done (maybe I need to clean. A hole has formed in my pockets. I'm guessing this is from overuse since I only have two pairs. But I would reccomend. Gonna try the pinstripe."

"My son ordered these pants and loved them. Thank you"

"I purchased a few before and noticed these have a better belt. The cell phone pocket seems a bit bigger then previous ones I purchased as well. I have a ZTE ZMAX a big cell phone. Gonna have to order some more soon. "

"Let me start off by say hell yea!!! These pants are unbelievable, cool vent, 4 pockets plus a cargo one, and zipper fly, it doesn't get any better than that. These pants do the job at work, we all know how hot a kitchen can get but with a little help of some relaxing pants it makes things much better.
Keep rocking you guys....
Thanks,
Marvoe"

"Love the new style. Great buy and great quality."

"Best kitchen pants I bought"

"Have had a pair for 3 years, holds up well. Soft yet durable, keeps you cool. I get lots of positive comments on pants and turned them on to several co workers as well. I Just bought two more pairs!"

"Cant argue with the price they are very comfortable and the vents do help a little .. any amount is good when its 90 % humidity!
Only complaint is the metal button came apart when i was undoing them
It seperated in 2 pieces.
I kind of smashed it back together with a hammer. It sort of holds. No big deal."

"I'm 6'4..waist is between a 38-39..
Ordered the large size so they wouldn't be too baggy.
They are long but then again all chefs pants are made to be hemmed..and the waist fits..a little snug in the AM but loosen a bit as Day goes on.
Well vented, although I see problems arise in future cuz I feel the meshing with fall apart eventually in washer..
But as of now, overall a very good pant..it's nice to see options now a days for pants..when I first started, it was just the old poly checks.."

"Fit well any air flow is helpful I love these year round

"

"I like these pants they are comfortable and i don't get hot they are cool."

"Looks very professional,while still keeping you cool and mobile. Stays on tight and holds everything well. Will by tons more."

"Love the pants. Perfect for work love the belt that comes with and wish every style came with one. Have told other coworkers about them and will be ordering more "

"I love these work pants make sure u look at the size chart but they are great, breathable and comfortable n good quality "

"Very nice pants. Last for years!"

"The pants are light weight cool and comfortable. Exactly what you’re looking for in the kitchen. One issue is the length of the pants. They’re extra long made for someone 6’ with a 34” waist. If there could be length sizes to choose from than theses pants would be perfect. "

"These pants hit my Goldie Locks Zone. My favorite parts are the locking adjustable belt, the less baggyness'ness, good pocket size and distance to cargo pocket (specifically compared to the performance smart pant), love the back pocket flaps for better securing wallet and just better looking an open pocket. Problems: compareed to the last time i purchased these pants, the waist measurements are a bit tight with very little slack on the belt, my waist gain may account for the waist measurement, but not the built-in belt length, please HappyChef add maybe an additional inch are two of belt give, people get fat sometimes, and lose fat too. A velcro tab on the back pocket just came off after 3 washes, not a big deal but really. The closure button popped off a week ago (had the pants for 3 weeks, maybe worn 8 times). I may should have bought a larger size, but i still think the button should be attached with better reinforcement, considering they are work pants. Over all my only real problems with these parts and others from HappyChef was the 3 freakin week production and delivery time, but mostly because i wanted to wear them asap, 'cuz there are so freakin awesome."

"Love these pants!! very comfortable and cool at work! I'm a Chef and that's what I needed. Get lots of compliments! Great product for the price!"

"These are well made pants very comfortable hold up well after wash after wash I've used them for years and I enjoy them"

"Fantastic pants that look great and fit before i washed them. They shrunk in the wash and now i can't wear them, will have to order more, build quality is great!"

"I wear these for my part time catering job. They help you to keep your cool in the hot humid MN summers. I bought my first pair 3 years ago and they still look like new. My son works in the food industry, and is now wearing them. He cant believe how much cooler they are. We both LOVE the pants!"

"These pants are cooler in the leg, thanks to the venting behind the knees. The material and quality seems to be reasonably durable. I got the XS, which although very baggy through the hip and thigh, is rather snug in the waist. I'm 5'3 105 lbs (female). I think if the waist were lower this wouldn't be an issue, but the waist is so high, when I sit down it comes up to my rib cage--not a good feeling! I may get them tailored to lower the waist 2-3 inches, but I don't know if it's worth it. Just don't tuck in your shirt if you don't want to look like Ed Grimley. :)"

"I ordered 6 pairs of the cook cool chef pants. 3 of.the pin stripes and 3 solid black pants. The pin stripes fit fine but the solid pants were smaller in the waist (all the same size). Other then that everything is good!"

"It keeps me cool and I love the design. I would buy it again."

"Had to return what I bought. Waist was the right size but the pants were like a foot too long and the legs really wide. It'd help if the length of the pants were listed. Better yet, have options for custom length."

"Overall those pants are very good but I still have a complaint over the pants leg for been to long, I'm 5'8 and I order pants size medium, the waist is perfect but the leg are too long."

"I bought 3 different styles of Cook Cool pants to see which I preferred due to being a first time chef pant buyer through Happy Chef (have bought many other merchandise from the company). All 3 styles were Medium, the others fit descent but this style was too tight, could not even button them. A larger size may have fit around the waist but would have been too baggy everywhere else. Had to return them."

"Repete purchaser. Great product.. very comfortable and lasts forever. More professional look than baggies."

"These pants are amazing!! They're lightweight and smooth on the skin. They flow with your stride and never collect heat. The only wish I had was that they weren't so baggy. My next purchase will be the slimmer model obviously and I hope they won't be so long. I bought an extra pair for a coworker and he also loves them. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking to kick ass and stay comfortable at the same time."

"Top button on pants lasted three days. Not great quality. "

"A little pricey but worth it."

"Long, a bit baggy, but fit well at the waist and no issues with t-shirts coming in tucked mid service."

"Love the feel of the pants very comfortable. Downside is first bought the large size it was to tight on my waist so returned for a size up. The XL is almost to big on my waist and way to long I need to roll the leg four times for proper length."

"Just brought 2 pairs of these pants and the fit me great I'm 5'10 180lbs with 32-33 waist I got the med size pant and their perfect."

"Extremely cool, lightweight, has a zipper and button unlike most chef pants. Even a belt built in! Side pocket that is waterproof is a great idea. I little too long but you can just get them hemmed. I'm also 5' 6 so maybe it's just me lol"

"These pants are comfortable. They wash and wear well. They look good too."

"XL's were at least 4XLs Large was closer to true size.Followed the sizing chart on line"

"Have purchased 3 pairs now planning on purchasing more. Best kitchen pants I have ever owned. And I have been at it for over 30 years "

"Comfortable and durable. Breathable and fit great! Awesome gear for the working chef
"

"Sizes are wrong, order large which is supposed to be a 38 inch waste wound up being 34 or smaller. Button dug into waste because of it. Belt is only for looks. Terrible pant will double orders for now on"

"Not at all professional"
