I saw some rather low reviews of these light-weight pants. I don't know what you were expecting...they're just pants ya know. Anyhoo...I have used both the light-weight and regular canvas pants for over 5 years now for my work pants. The light-weight ones I have had no issues with and with the additional & larger thigh pockets make them perfect for cell phones and like minded items. The big seller is the actual wallet pockets instead of carrying your wallet down near your knee like 5.11 pants (whomever designed that sure didn't think that through properly!). The canvass pants will fray after long hard  use. In fact the fabric started breaking down and separating just above the knee where there is a seam. then again, I have used them for 5 years, however, I still have LEE Jeans that are 10 plus years old and still in great shape. Bottom line these pants are a "Hit" in fact I just bought 2 more pair of light-weight pants! Cheers
