I wanted a pant that had good storage options for the various items I carry. Sometime we can get carried away on the things we have but these pants have a place for a knife and small flashlight and I don't even feel them as if they were in my pocket. I like the mag pouch cause now I don't have that bulge in my side from a mag and pouch on my belt. And there are plenty of belt loops for best placement of a concealed weapon. The only issue I had was that one of the belt loops had week stitching and my belt started to pull it apart when I was pulling my belt through the loops. Easy fix, yes I can sew. I was able to secure it better than the factory. They quality is there but they are made in a factory. Some stitching doesn't get the most attention but I have 2 pairs and the other were fine.
