I have become enamored with cargo pants.  The extra leg pockets are nice.  This style corrects design deficits in other brands.  I carry a sunglasses hard case  in the side pocket.  Every other brand I have tried the case bangs against my knee  every step.  This brand the side pocket is 3-4 inches higher.  Others have noted that the pockets have been reinforced.  Again this is different than the other brands I have purchased.  I am not too sure whether the metal snaps on the pockets will last longer than the velcro version on other brands.  I havn't worn these long enough.  3-4 washes on velcro tends to make the pockets dog eared.  I expect that these will last longer do to heavier material on the pockets and metal clips.  I have also seen some of the reviews indicate that they are baggy.  This is fine with me since I always need to get the wider legged pants since I do not have thin legs.  The biggest complaint that I have is that I need 38x28 not 38x30 so I have to have them shortened at a tailor shop so the cost is an additional $12.  This occurs with most pants I purchase so the added cost is expected.
