Probably one of the best pair of pants I've worn since I left the Marine Corps.  They are durable, yet flexible and not heavy. They are made of the poplin fabric not typically seen in clothing, yet missed.  When I was in the Marines all my utilities were made of this fabric - easily washed and virtually wrinkle free.  The Velcro waist fastener is large and secure, only issue is that you need to make sure it's fastened before washing/drying or all your clothes will be stuck to it.  Pockets are not bulky, well-positioned, and stow gear well without obvious bulges.  I'd feel comfortable wearing these in field operations or as casual wear in the city.  Probably a better all around choice than denim, or the far too light nylon polyester weaves that are far too common today. Pricey, but worth it.  Only other major complaint is the colors are far darker than they appear in the photos on this site, so take that into account when selecting.
