I ride my bike to work, so I like to have this style of pants, especially for rainy days. I also like them for hiking. The ripstop fabric is light and durable. I like that compared to some other hiking pants I have, these don’t have bulky cargo pockets. There is one bonus side pocket, but it is sleek. Speaking of pockets, the front pockets are on the exterior, which is a little unusual. This is probably better when walking, but I’ve noticed that if I have my phone in my pocket, it causes the crotch to bind a bit when seated (my phone is too big for the side pocket). Not that much of a problem, and my only complaint. The sizing was right for me. I always wear a 32 waist with a belt. These have elastic in the waist, so they are a little more snug than other 32” waist pants I’ve worn, but not too tight. I could probably get away without using a belt if I wanted to. Overall, I’m very happy with this pair of pants.
