I will start by saying I just received these pants so this is not a durability review, rather a first impression. These pants are very lightweight and breathable, as well as very quiet. They will be a great spring pant and early fall pant, which is their design. I don't see them making it into October without a base layer, but seem to be a perfect pant for bow hunting. Great pocket placements, the front pockets aren't zippered, but the cargo pockets have a small zippered pocket on the front for items like keys that are easily dropped.
