I purchased these pants for my son's birthday, and he loves them. They are perfect for fishing, and their light weight, quick-dry fabric will make them great for hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Someone gave me a pair of these as a gift. The material is rather comfortable for nylon, and the zipper below the knee does not bother me a bit while wearing them as pants. I plan to use these for hiking and fishing. Great pair of pants.
My husband had searched for a pair of these pants on a trip out West in the summer. Most pants he tried were much more costly. He also had difficulty getting a good fit because many were too long on him. These pants fit perfect and the price was right for the value.
