Three stars with leniency. Very mediocre pants, especially for its price and intended use. Specifically, as a classic pentagon, it is not at all elastic. (Only the black "protective" fabric covering the existing non-elastic fabric has elastane) So the range of motion (especially in mountainous terrain) is extremely limited and furthermore, after just half an hour of hiking, I got chafed in the groin area. It's really a shame that the jeans or cargo pants I wear at the café are more comfortable than this. No (but really no) comparison to the Apu pants I have, which have truly stretch fabric and breathe better. I would prefer it for other uses, such as livestock work or outdoor work, but not for the mountains.

An excellent hiking pants. I have had it for 3 months. Better than the bdu 2.0. It is synthetic so it dries quickly, has water resistance. Very durable. In hot weather and high temperatures, it is quite warm. In winter hikes with very cold air, you might feel a little cold on the knees at the vents. I am very satisfied.
