For the money I expected a lesser fabric and cut. I have worn these twice playing airsoft in field and forest. The first stitch on one of the pockets popped when I forced my hand in it. Other than that, I expect these to last. The fabric is a bit stiff and a bit thick, but I do not mind that because it is also tough and very protective when crawling over roots, or rough, rocky ground. I like the cut much more than the the 5.11 Ridge pant that I also have. Not exactly water proof but kept me mostly dry in light rain and laying on wet earth. The pockets are plentiful and good, bit there is too much overlap between them for my taste. They are secured by velcro or zippers except for the slash pocket, which I like. Over all I am very satisfied and I may buy another at a later date if I need a different color for an op. I am 5' 7" and wear the 30 x 30, which are true to size. Oh yeah the reinforced knees are great for crawling and kneeling. I do not intend to use pads in them.
