Overpriced garbage. The left pocket tore on the first trip I wore these out on. I didn't even have keys in that pocket, just a clifbar and chapstick. Unfortunate, because these are really comfortable pants with a nice fit/color.
Bought these to replace the Chockstone/2 pant for mountaineering trips. I love the fit, the small amount of elastic in the waist is just enough to snug up the fit. I wish they were lighter in color. Dark pants arn't great on glaciers, the sun beats down and brutilizes you. These will work for non-glaciated climbs. My biggest complaint is the right side drop in pocket. Its perfectly sized for an iPhone or other smart phone, but the snap closure is incredibly difficult to open with one hand. Its very secure, but could be easier to open.
Let me tell you that these pants may be simple but oh so great. I dont need many pockets because I wear a shirt with plenty pockets. These are sturdy, stretchy and a very important detail is that mosquitos wont penetrate the fabric, at least not here in northern Sweden. That might actually be the biggest advantage to these pants.
Just received my order. The fabric weight, pocket placement and design is optimum. I like the mildly elastic waist with a drawstring to fine tune fit which I would say is slightly slim. Blue color is subtle and attractive. I rank these as the PERFECT PANT and likely will order more.
These are some solid softshell pants. Having the belt loops as an option is a feature I really like. I'll likely be ordering another pair soon.
One of my favorite pants. I wore them trekking in Pakistan and they were a good fit and held up well to the dust and rocks of the area.
These pants are dope. You can dress them up to business casual or wear them to the gym. Favorite pants, and I have every color.
These are my favorite pants. Spring, summer, fall, winter, I’ve worn these in every season. They will handle a lot.
