Have had three pairs of these for several years and my 16 year old son has had a few pairs also. They are awesome pants for hiking and camping in. They are light and comfortable, will not chafe as you walk. They don't get hot in the summer and the legs zip off for warmer weather converting them into shorts. They have enough pocket room to stow what you may need (map, compass, snack, etc) yet the pockets are not bulky and sticking out. Due to the material they will dry quickly if they get wet and all around make for good outdoors or traveling pants. The only reason I did not give them a five star rating is that the leg bottoms don't have zippers so when converting the pants you have to take your boots off to don/doff the leg pieces.
