Bought these for a trip to Patagonia. They worked for hiking and repelled wind and water well, but they do not hold up well to other activities. I wore them horseback riding and they started to disintegrate at the knees. This was only the second time I wore them. Perhaps it's my fault for wearing them for something other than hiking, but for the price I expected much better durability. I imagine the same thing would happen if your thighs rub together when you walk.

Size Has Changed
I purchased these a few years ago, but as shorts. So I assumed the sizing would be the same - WRONG, the pants are at least 3/4 of an inch smaller in the waist. My shorts fit perfectly, the pants I will return.

Still Look Great After 2 Years Of Bike Packing
I bought these pants as my ONLY pair of pants for a 2 year bike packing expedition through Latin America and I could not be more impressed. I've put these through the ringer sitting in the saddle for hours day after day, dragging my bike through jungles in Colombia and over washed out roads in Baja, and hiking up 20k+ volcanos in Bolivia. They STILL LOOK GREAT and are the most comfortable pants I own. These things are worth twice the price.
Fit - 5 Stars Comfort - 5 Stars Durability - :( These pants are great for on trail hiking as long as there are no thorn bushes or anything with pointy tabby things. My left leg caught some thorns and pulled a lot of threads. To be on the safe side, don't wear them anywhere you wouldn't wear shorts.

Go-to Warm Weather Adventure Pants
I purchased two pairs of these about a year ago. Since then, they have been on trips in 7 time zones spanning 2 continents. They're a near perfect combination of comfortable, breathable, quick drying, water resistant, and packable. They have held up well for a lightweight fabric and I would recommend for any warm weather activity that does not require hard use clothing.
