If you're used to chinos, you'll probably find these a tauter fit, but they're actually pretty comfortable once you're out and about. Light, and very good for travelling, especially in hot climates.

Some issues:

They wrinkle easily and don't have such an attractive appearance after a while. Fine on the road when appearance doesn't count that much. But not for any place even slightly dressy.

If you sweat or get caught in the rain, you'll have big dark splotches on these, at least in Coastal Sage.

The mesh pockets feel strange. And that drawstring gets in the way.
