UPDATE: Five years later and these pants still look and feel new.  Getting ready to buy at least one more pair, they are indestructible...

I was looking for something comfortable and durable, with lots of pockets, and this fits the bill perfectly.  There's a cell phone pocket on the right leg, and a camera/GPS pocket on the left, and a bunch of other misc pockets.  Even a small 7" tablet would likely fit fine.  Anyhoo, not sure if these will be a bit warm come summer, but for the other three seasons I love 'em.  I'll likely pick up a few more pair for color variety and laundering.  In terms on longevity I imagine these will last for years.
