I bought three pair of these pants and have been wearing them 4 days a week at work for the past 10 or 11 months or so.  I work an office job so each pair will be washed once a week.  I must say that overall they are doing pretty good for that type of use.  The washing is what usually creates the most wear and tear for me it seems.

I do have a couple of small issues.  One of the pants seemed to shrink up a bit more than the other two pair.  Not enough to where I can not wear them, but I'd say they shrunk at least an inch or so in length, while the other two pair did not.  Which I guess is to be expected sometimes, who knows what cotton will do.  But still kind of discouraging.  I emailed 5.11 tactical about this issue and never got a response.

The second small issue I have had, is one of the zippers has stopped working as it should.  I believe these are the so called 'self repairing' zippers, I can run the zipper back and forth a few times and it will zip up, however if there is any kind of pressure put on the pocket it'll pop open again.  Again, this just now happened after 10 months of weekly washings and every day wear, so little things like this are to be expected.

I would rate these 5 stars if 5.11 had at least been kind enough to email me back when I inquired about the shrinkage I had on one pair.
