Have used this pant since its release and have kept using them, despite the fact the crotch is too low and the sizing is off for the average leg circumstance compared to the waist size. Thankfully I always walk up hill with the leg zips undone giving me the mobility I need to break trail. Haven’t found a pant that’s as durable or waterproof, so I’ve always gone back to this pant. Simply the best.
