“Nice Pants”

“I ordered these pants because I wanted pants to hike in that had some give in the material as opposed to 100 % nylon pants. These pants are really nice, i put them on and they are a little big, however I bought them to go backpacking in Big Bend N.P. and didn't have time to worry about the waist size, besides i always wear a belt. They also have a small waist cord inside to help tighten the waistline. These pants stretch nicely, they are comfortable, and they dry quickly. They only have 3 pockets, which isn't a big deal to me, and they show dirt really easily, also not a big deal for me. The only problem I've had with these pants is sometime during our overnight backpacking trip to the South Rim at Big Bend the crotch seam tore out. It was only about an inch long, and the most of the trip was spent taking big steps up and down, however the reason I didn't wear plain nylon pants was so the material would give and not rip. Despite this it was the only pants I had on the trip other than long johns and rain pants, so I wore them throughout the trip and several succeeding days afterword because of the comfort. I love these pants, and have no problem getting them fixed, but it was the first use, be it an rough, extended use. Despite this I love these pants and want to get another pair of them or a similar pair, for the price you can't go wrong if you know someone who can sew them up.”
