I bought these because I had a pair of Blackhawk pants rip on me two weeks into wearing them. I was looking for a pair of tactical style pants thin enough to wear in the summer but durable enough to work in. These pants are the best i have ever worn!!! They are very comfortable and the fabric is extremely durable. The only thing is I wish Wrangler would incorporate an expanding waist for CCW. If you do intend to carry in these you might want to order a size bigger. Wrangler isn't exactly known for tactical pants but these are great pants.
