I love 5.11 pants but these were a little hard for me to wear. The elastic band on it made me feel like I was back in elementary school. But I can't deny that 5.11 makes extremely durable clothing. I wear these out into the field for work and they have lasted through climbing inside attics as well as outdoor Construction. The material of the pants is very comfortable, they are a little baggy but this allows for both winter and summer wear. In the winter I wear a pair of heat gear Under Armour tights underneath and the 5.11 pants provide enough wind resistance to keep me warm.
