Stylish and well constructed. I like the ruggedness of the fabric, but they are not stiff. The extra pockets are great for all my stuff. Great fit at the waist, and enough extra space elsewhere for a fine comfortable fit overall. Same heavy duty type of pants closure above the zipper as Levi blue jeans have- and I really prefer that over a plain old button that would take a lot less stress. No closures for the back pockets , but good snaps on the large front pockets. These pants suit my requirements , and I would like to have some in different colors also.
