I have these and like them. They've stood up to quite a bit of abuse.

I do too, though I ordered them a size too small. Or maybe I grew too big. Either way had to toss them when they got too snug.

I am told people have the same experiences with them being slightly too small. Order one size up next time is the general consensus.

What's doubly frustrating is that I ordered them when I deployed. Then I lost 10 lbs, and they still didn't fit well.

" Never have quite gotten used to the button fly"
The button fly is correct for BDU's. You can sew a button
back on. If your velcro patch wears out, good luck replacing that.

Another option is arborwear. I have the tech pants. They are heavier than other options but are very rugged and long lasting. The cargo pockets aren't too big.

They are my go-to pants for most any outdoor activity.
