Pants are great for outdoor activities and everyday wear.  The stretch makes them feel comfortable moving around in them - they look a bit more form-fitting than my jeans, but allow just as easy or easier movement.  Construction seems top notch and I expect them to last.  I normally wear 31x32 jeans and the 31 waist is the unmentioned size between small and medium.  I ended up going with the small, although I do have thin legs, so I don't know if that would be true for everyone that wears a 31 waist.  Length seems fine.
