Great pair of pants. The material seems tough enough to resist abrasion and snags while still feeling light, comfortable, and provides flexible movement and range of motion. Zippered pockets ensure security and remain accessible even when wearing a climbing harnesss.
These pants really do it all. Initially when I put on the pants I had the misconception that they were going to be tight and restrict movement but I was quickly proven wrong. The materials allows for full freedom of movement and didn't trap heat. I especially appreciated the zipper quality and placement of the pockets. I took these pants to the woods, to lawn work, and to a day out. It really did it all. Now if they made a business casual version of these I can take it to work.
Love these pants! Super versatile. Wore to work in the office with a nice shirt and performed great heli-hiking and doing river crossings in British Columbia. The pants were pretty good at moisture wicking, I was able to easily roll up to cross the rivers, but once they got wet, they dried really quickly and didn’t irritate my skin. They were comfortable and well made and I look forward to wearing for many more adventures and every day wear. Fit true to size.
Pants fit nicely everywhere the the groin region. It is a little too tight across the front though movement is not too restricted. No real room to put anything in the pockets though cause they are in the front vs the side.
Quality hiking pant with plenty of zipped pockets. Nice stretchy material that allows a snug fit while still letting you maneuver and drop it low as needed. I like all of the zippered pockets, but if you’re an awkward “what do I do with my hands” kind of person like me you may find yourself reaching for the familiar front pocket when socially uncomfortable only to find it zipped and panic about how to play it off naturally 😂. I live in the high desert so my only real wish for these pants would be for some ventilation. Otherwise great tactical and comfortable pant!
Excellent pant - many features I like though I hadn't looked for them. Zipper pockets adds security for outdoor activities that is nice. The stretch is real, very comfortable, and they do indeed seem to be quick drying. Only drawback is that the local store has decided not to stock them - unsure why as they seem to be a nearly ideal pant for those who like cargo pockets (wallet, phone) and quick-dry for water activities!
