These pants are all around pretty great.

I purchased these pants for use when I went to walk around DC. I'm terrible with purses but I have a lot of stuff (wallet, chapstick, cell phone, ecig, breath mints, small nuclear bomb) and I found these pants had room for all my sundry items and then some. Heck, the other day I was throwing them in the wash and discovered two more pockets.

Oh, the pockets. There are pockets in pockets on pockets. For real. It's crazy. No exaggeration needed. They also fasten rather securely, although I am concerned that the pockets on the front pockets zipper up instead of down. I'm afraid of putting anything important in those pockets for fear that gravity will take its course during vigorous movement.

These pants are durable. I'm tough on all of my belongings (I'm a klutz with a side order of careless) and so it's important for me to have items that survive my random tumbles, snags on rusty metal (I live on a farm, there's rusty metal everywhere), scrapes against concrete and other rough surfaces, etc.

These pants are also comfortable due to the elastic bits in the waste band. No more plumbers crack for me! If you're a fatty like me, this little feature is important, just trust me on this one.

The only issue that I found with these pants is that they are somewhat rough on the inside. Because I'm a fatty the crotch of the pants rubs on the inside of my thighs. After two days of solid walking in the city it was like a horror movie. (My thighs, not my crotch, weirdo) Sandpaper. Don't even care, these pants are worth the abrasion.

I plan on ordering more as I think they would be great bug out pants. They fold down relatively compactly, more compact than BDU pants I've had in the past. There's plenty of room for important items. I'm pretty sure you'd even be able to put a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hennessy-Hammock-Expedition-A-sym/dp/B0011KZREC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hennessy Hammock Expedition A-sym</a>in one of the pockets. Top it off with a parachute cord belt and I think you'd be pretty set.
