i had a pair of these before i ordered them so i kind of knew what to expect, but i must have fudged things in my head because these seem to run about an inch smaller than the advertised size.  so, i can wear the ones that i got, but i hafta suck in the ever-increasing gut.  as far as pant quality, the other ones i have are about 2 years old and are going strong.  these are ripstop material and are NOT a quiet hunting pant, but they are not as bad as say wearing your old cords with your nylon windbreaker into the elk woods.  these are tough pants and take a few washings before they become friendly.  cargo pockets are large enough to hold dead bodies (of a modest sized grouse).  and the little patch of leather for your knife to clip to is an excellent idea.  the only "complaint" i have about these pants, other than the smaller than stated waist size, it that the leg tapers slightly, so i have modified mine to fit over my boots.  good, tuff product, but be sure you order at least one size bigger than your usual.  are inches different in wrangelerville?
