Update - still strong
I've been wearing both of my pairs of these pants for months now. Took one pair camping in the northern U.P. this summer. They didn't get washed for a week, slid down a muddy, rocky waterfall, and got worn every day. After washing, they were as good as new. And they protected my legs on that unintentional ride down Sable Falls.Only con is the color: I got the khaki and gunmetal ones, but both have a green tint. I'd describe the gunmetal as forest green, the khaki isn't so obvious.

New Favorite Pants
I love my old slim-fit, boot cut Levi's, but they don't let me move very much and they certainly don't dry fast.These have a similar fit - just a little baggier - but the gusseted crotch lets you move like you don't have pants on. And the articulated knee prevents that bunch-up behind your knee that happens with jeans.The material looks and feels tough and quick-drying. The cell phone pocket seems unnecessary at first, but it makes grabbing your phone while sitting a piece of cake.I'll be buying more of these - if only they weren't so expensive.
