The Comfort Champion
Chase P3 years ago
Easily the most comfortable fit out of over half a dozen pants that I've tried (including from Prana, Kuhl, OR, and Patagonia); enough room in the thighs, rear, and crotch, and comfy in the waist, but they still look like a regular pair of chinos. My legs have never been more comfortable while hiking, working, or lounging.
Also, they wick water really well without showing big, wet, sweat spots, which is nice not to worry about in the heat. That feature was also very useful when I hiked with them in the rain the other day, because although my pants were soaked, they didn't feel soggy or clammy. I was actually pretty comfortable, despite them being saturated. They also dry relatively quickly.
Only a few negative notes: the polyester material can be static-y if you dry them for too long. My pair also started out feeling really hot when sitting still, but that issue disappeared after the first washing, and they never felt hot while on the move. The "water resistance" in the description must be in reference to the mist from a sneeze, because any more than that and your pants are wet. And the "anti-stain" material doesn't repel stains, at least not my pair. However, they're just so dang comfortable that I'm willing to overlook all of that and just take the extra time to treat them whenever they get stuff on them and air dry them rather than toss them in the dryer.

Comfortable but not durable
Cart2 years ago
I bought these pants for my boyfriend and his initial review was that they were super comfortable and looked great. However they ripped at the seem in two different areas within the first month of owning them. I sewed up the first rip but after the second I returned them. If they can't handle a month in the field they wouldn't last much longer.

Stained on delivery

I already have a pair of these I love so I ordered a second pair. They came stained and had a strong smell of Fabuloso cleaner. I decided to keep them and washed several times. Most of the stains came out but the smell persists. Hopefully it fades with time because these are my favorite hiking pants

Super comfortable!

I tried these on a whim and I am so glad I did! These pants are flexible and stretchy all over! They feel durable yet amazingly comfortable. I can wear them for work and play which is always an added bonus! Super excited about this purchase! I hope they come out with more color options but I will definitely grab at least one more pair! I am 5'9, 175lbs and the 32x30 fit like a breeze!

Rough decision to keep these
2 years ago
These are a good Summer weight pant and they have a secret zipped pocket behind the right front pocket. The cut of these pants (I got a 38 waist which is a tiny bit large at the waist) seem to be made for someone with a large posterior and thigh. I don't have either of those, so the sides kind of flare out like English riding pants...but not that exagerated. I had a rough time deciding to keep or send these back, but finally decided to keep them because they will be comfortable to hike and backpack in and I'm not worried on trail about what I look like. I doubt that I will wear them much at home unless its just around the house. It's certainly not that these pants are defective...they are not...they are just not cut in a way that fits my body well.

Comfortable but not long lasting
2 years ago
The good, these are comfortable and well fitting. I actually really like the cut to the leg on these pants and have good length for me as a tall, long legged, person. The downside, I purchased two pairs of these pants and both have the same positives but this khaki colored pair for some reason have not been holding up as well. After the second wash they started to get piling of the fabric on the thighs of the pants (started washing insides out after that). The piling has not gotten worse but the other pair have yet to do that. This has also results in this pair being a little easier to snag which is starting to show additional marks on the thigh of the pants. I do really like them and the other pair is holding up great but this pair is not holding up as well.

Pants are super comfortable for everyday use. Breathable, stretchy, and just feel loose to have a casual wear.

Nice pants
2 years ago
These are very comfortable and well fitting pants. I really like them and as a taller person with long legs (6'4"), the inseam is great even at a 34 length. They are light and super comfortable at work where I have to move around a lot including getting up and down from the floor. So far no complaints with this pair. I bought a pair in both the Tusk and the Shadow, for some reason the Tusk pair the fabric is not holding up as well with piling and snagging on the thighs.

Almost perfect

The material is lightweight and seems resistant to wrinkles. I've been caught in some light rain and they dry out quickly. Similarly on sweltering heat days they are still quite comfortable. I also like having a wardrobe color that isn't black or brown for once. My only complaint is they are a bit snug in (a particular area) if you are doing some more strenuous verticals or rock climbs you may notice. For casual wear and flatland hikes its entirely fine.
