I love that when I wear these, there's no need to carry a purse because there's so many pockets. They look great too.
And they're fantastic for hiking because you can tie the bottoms so they fit close to your leg and this way they rest on top of your boot which keeps them much cleaner on the bottom! The drawstring waist helps give a perfect fit. The price is great and they're soft and wide leg so they're comfortable. As others mentioned, my one complaint is the zipper. It does not slide smoothly and you get the feeling it might not hold up well. I like these pants so much that I would pay a seamstress to replace the zipper if it came to that.
