Theses pants are great and I order them in multiple pairs every 6-8 months, the reason I have to give these pants a 4-star rating is two fold.

1. I have probably ordered over a dozen of these pants and I have had to return at least 2-3 pairs since the pants show up with small pulls in the fabric or incomplete seams (i.e. a hole).  I probably have a 75% success rate with these pants but I have come to accept this since a) the return/replacement is haste free and fast and b) I typically can't find these pants cheaper than at Amazon.

2. The crotch area wears out long before the rest of the pants even get close to looking old/worn.  It seams this is a problem that others have experienced with these pants however I have started washing these pants using the gentle cycle (and drying them at a lower temperature) with seem to help with not only my pants but also my shirts.  I seem to be getting a good 1-2 more months of use out of my pants with the these new washing/drying techniques however the lower dryer heat does seem to leave the pants slightly more wrinkled than before.  A couple shakes out of the dryer and hanging them straight overnight seems to get them almost perfect.  The only thing you do not want to do is leave them in the dryer.  I have found that even an iron will take out 100% of the wrinkles made by pant left in the dryer (a complete re-rinse has been my only fix).

These pants other than the issues mentioned above are very rubust and most stains wash away easily with minor pre-treatment with regular detergent.  They also have a decent stain resistance as I don't have to wash these parts after every wear (typically get 3-4 wears).

I would recommend anyone to try these pants and I will continue to buy more of these pants for years to come.
