These are cheaply priced, but the material has decent thickness and seems to be durable. I don't know that these would survive a year in the rain forest, but they are very comfortable and seem to be made much better than the price would suggest. The material has enough thickness that you could wear these during the winter and not freeze to death, but they're light enough to wear during spring (or even summer) without dying. I ordered the US 32 size. I have a 32" waist and these fit very well. My legs are larger than average (~28" thighs) because I workout a lot. These are tighter than normal (they don't look baggy), but it gives them a high-end fitted characteristic, which my wife loves. I can wear them to work on "casual" Friday's with a polo and they still look very professional. Also, the pockets are plenty deep and secure. I will order a couple more pairs in different colors. As someone who doesn't care for jeans much, these are a great year-long alternative. Read more
Sizing... I'm 6' 170lbs, I usually wear a 33 but the xxl 36 (us34) which the other reviewers recommended because the sizing is supposedly off, were waaaay too big, not just in the waist they were also about 4 inches too long, I'm exchanging them for the next smaller size (us 32), we'll see how those work. The color in the picture is off too, I ordered Browness, which looks like a brownish/gray in the picture but is actually a brownish/khaki. Not a bad color all in all, but it looks more like the Light Mud picture rather than what's shown (so that makes me wonder what does the Light Mud color wind up looking like?). They look like they're good quality, nice size pockets, drawstrings are a nice feature for certain situations (working in attic or crawl area), but drawback when barefoot, I don't like stepping on them. Overall I think I will be satisfied with them, but I'm knocking off a couple stars because of the off color and hassle with the hit or miss sizing. ***Update*** The next size down fits me in the waist but still are a bit long for my taste, but I like my pants resting lower on my hips, like 3-4 fingers below my belly button.

To start this review, I'll go over sizing. Most of my pants are a size 29-30 in the waist. Most my jeans are a size 30, and a lot of my dress pants are a size 29 since dress pants usually run bigger. All in all most of my pants are a 30 in the waist, and my actual waist measurement with nothing on is about 29 inches. Now I bought these pants in size 30, which is medium on their size chart. I said it my last review and I'll say it here, it's a good idea to measure yourself and find the size on the chart. You'll save yourself a lot of worrying if you get your measurements. On to quality, these are made very well, and are very thick. I bought a pair of Match Outdoor Active cargos and these ranger ones are noticibly thicker. I don't know if it's because of color or styling, but I can't complain. All of the pockets are functional and deep, and are supported by metal snap buttons. These are built into the pants very well and keep a nice tight grip once you snap them. No worries about pocket flaps coming loose and things falling out. I do wish the front button over the zipper was sewn on better, but that's the only issue I can find with these pants. These pants fit well and are comfortable, and they look better than any cargo pants I have seen in the states. You could wear these casually or for work. I plan on getting more of these. Read more
So far they have worked very well considering the price. The waist and legs were about the right size, though because I have rather thick legs from cycling, while not uncomfortable, the width of the legs weren't what I was hoping for. Trying to describe it is a bit difficult. Typically I were jeans that are relaxed fit and boot cut so there is plenty of room in the legs as to not interfere with range of motion, heck sometime it doesn't feel like I have pants on. Though with these pants its not uncomfortable or annoying, really but when i move I know that I am wearing these pants. Like I said kinda hard to explain. At the price (about the same for a pair of pants from Goodwill) I would probably buy another pair of these again in a couple months depending on how well they hold up from the abuses at work. These feel like they are made of good sturdy material so i don't feel that they will fail on me prematurely. If they do I'll adjust my rating. Update: Few weeks have gone by and have put these pants trough their paces. They are still holding up quite well, no signs of the material fatiguing yet or of color fade. The weird feeling I had in the leg of the pants I described above is gone, I probably just got used to it still very happy with these pants. Update 2 Well a few months have gone by and they're still holding their own. still have their color, and still no visible signs of wear or damage. Lost about 25 lbs so now the waist is much too small but at least the legs are about right now. I would still recommend these pants to anyone looking for some relatively inexpensive work clothes.
