I am a Zoologist (animal expert) and do many animal rescues as well. These pants are perfect for my needs in the field because the fit is relaxed and there are plenty of pockets for me to stow my phone, gloves, gerber tool, and any other equipment I may need. They are well constructed and fit very well. True to size, I am generally a 2, but for these pants I chose a 4 so that I can layer in cold weather with thermals. I was so happy with these pants that I ordered 2 more pairs. I just wish they came in more colors! These fit far more comfortably than the EMT pants.
