I just got mine today, so I cant speak for the long-term durability, but the workmanship and quality of these pants is top notch. All seams are double or triple sewn, and the material is very robust. There is even a reinforcement patch on the right pocket for knife clips that tend to wear out your pocket. The cargo pockets are very well thought out, with plenty of compartments. These would work very well as "tactical" pants as well as casual/working trousers... if that is your need. They are also very nice looking and fit me well. I am pretty tall and slender... 6'2" and 170#. I went with a 33W 34L, which is what I normally wear. They fit me as expected. I just ordered a second pair today. These are my new favorite pants.
