My favorite pants in recent years were the OR Balebreaker, super comfortable, durable and good looking BUT the pockets were too big and shallow and stuff would fall out so I would never use them for fieldwork or travel. These timberline chinos feel and look a lot like those pants (a bit slimmer) and have perfect pockets. The fit is true to size and the waist has a nice amount of stretch. I also like that the belt loops are reasonably big. I am planning to buy in a few different colors.
I’m a HUGE fanboy of OR. BUT, at this price I can by American made chinos (from multiple brands) for less. Not to mention OR pant sizing changes with every model, so the only pants of their I’ll buy are Ferrosi (which are THE BEST pant ever made!!!).
These are the everyday pants I’ve been looking for. Absolutely love the fit, material and pockets. I can hike, bike, chop wood and then roll into town for dinner!
