...but I like cargo pants for the extra pockets to hold a few extra items I use in my daily life. These look nice, everything sits nice and flat, so they look very nice even in a professional setting. Most people don't even notice the cargo pockets. The cargos are placed very well, very convenient, and actually useful.

Velcro closed rear pockets are nice for wallet retention. I was worried the velcro would go bad fast, but its all held up very well so far. Multiple wash and dries have perhaps taken a tad of color out of the black ones I bought, but it barely shows. The fit of these pants is much nicer than most cargo pants.

I don't really use these to keep magazines or anything in them, but I find the magazine pockets useful for keeping smaller items in the cargo pockets without moving around nearly as much and causing me any discomfort. Thiings like extra pens, box cutters, etc. work in there quite well.

The front mini-pockets I typically use to keep small items in, even a folding knife, despite the extra space on the regular front pockets for them. I use my front pockets a lot for keys and other commonly used items, so the folding knife typically gets in the way when its in one of those pockets, Having the option to put them in front in those little pockets is great and keeps it out of the way while easily accessible.

I have done a few workouts in these and they are definitely mobile enough to do most things. I never feel like they are restricting my motions as much as other regular clothes might in those situations. Sizing is very much like regular pants, with a good fit and feel even with larger ranges of motion. Fits well with boots on without being huge. Larger boots might be more of a problem, but if you need boots that thick, these pants are probably not the best option for that kind of weather.

I found the waist to be particularly helpful. While it fits fine at the size they are ordered at, I find the elasticity useful for when my weight... fluctuates. =) Good for when you're planning on pigging out somewhere. Probably not an intended benefit, but there you have it. I haven't had too much problem with sweat and the like as some have mentioned, as the pants I normally wear for that sort of activity are just cotton anyway, so its at least the same as before. I like the waistband to be a bit thick. It gives good support to the heavier belts I favor anyway, but I have never found it to be really all that thick. I also bought some 5.11's duty pants (basic, with the thick waist to retain shirts) to use as dress wear for work, and those are much thicker than the waist-band on these.

All in all, I'd say these are pretty good pants. I plan on purchasing more of them.
