I ordered these because my brother had a pair in Green and he loved them. The material is extremely sturdy and feels like it could handle quite a bit of abuse. They were a bit stiff when they first came out of the packaging. Another reviewer said they could almost stand on their own which is pretty accurate. I tried them on quickly and they seemed good, the pant legs are a little wide however. The waist size was a good fit maybe buy a size up if you are squeezing into your size now but these felt very good around the waist and like I said the legs had a bit of extra room but not enough for me to be turned off of them.
I broke them in on a hunting trip up north for the weekend. I'm positive that if I had worn jeans out into the brush the short (18 inch high) bushes and other branches and such would have torn them in several places. I wasn't worried one bit wearing these pants into the brush and I didn't feel a single thorn/twig/pinch the entire trip. Again the material was just so good and sturdy that they couldn't have performed any better. I purchased the Sand color, which I am not 100% in love with but the quality of the pants makes up for it entirely. I will be purchasing another color soon I'm sure. You will not be disappointed with these pants!
