Wore these for a weekend while kayak camping, hiking and light bushwhacking. They were incredibly comfortable and very breathable. I wore them every day of the trip and had no issues with abrasion or durability along the way which was nice. My only "negative" takeaway was pocket placement which is likely more of my personal preference. I prefer to have more of an angled front pocket vs the direct front pocket. Made it awkward to really have anything in there without noticing it pressed to my thigh during steeper portions of the hike. I also should have gotten the short version as they were a smidge long for me. I'm 5ft / 115lbs and usually wear a small/short/4. I got a small/regular and they worked great but I'll definitely be getting another pair in the short inseam.
