I have 3 pairs of these purchased over the last few years. Thicker fabric holds up well to abuse, but the stretch provides truly full range of motion for backcountry hiking and working on cars. I they definitely will snag permanently on catclaw acacia (hooked spines), but other than that one bush these things brush everything else off. The stretch nyco blend will repel cat claw, but those don’t move or breath nearly as well.
Also sliced these with a pocket knife (careless on my part), so they are not cut resistant.
Can wear in summer and winter, they breath well enough for 90+ degree hikes, but I do keep them in the closet when it’s over 100. Can wear them with long Johns underneath and they will keep you warm down to the 10 degree range if you’re active. Block wind decently but definitely are breathable. Amazing versatility.
I can fit a Nalgene 1L in each back pocket and all my edc stuff in the front. I also like how the back pockets have a non stretch material, covers the butt nicely while sitting. Love the side pocket for phone. They “coin” pocket in the front is also big enough for my phone.
Can easily wear to the office, the weight of the material hangs much better than a traditional hiking pant and they don’t look totally like a work pant.
Overall nothing is perfect but these are the best pants I’ve ever owned, bar none. Ordering another pair now.
