What can I say? I absolutely ADORE these pants! I took them to Iceland and that held up so well as I scrambled over lava rock, up glaciers, and rolled around on black sand beaches. Not only are they sturdy, they also fit and look great! I often wear them out and about and get lots of compliments on them. I am heading to Kilimanjaro and plan to get another pair before I go. Wonderful pants! I will say they are not the most light weight so if you have a tendency to get hot, they may not be ideal warm weather pants. But if you're like me and never have that problem they are perfect!
