The only other ripstop fabric pant I can find in the right size are Wrangler's for $40-$60!!! For $32 these a good alternative. They are a lighter duty than the Wrangler's. Hoping that will make them cooler at work. Plenty of room in the thighs. Most pants I can't find with enough room in that area. Haven't tested their durability though, so just giving it 4 stars for now. If they last we'll bump it up to 5.
