Great for rock climbing/hiking
The most notable beneficial feature is how stretchy they are!I normally wear a 34 waist. I read enough reviews to get a size up (36). I'm 5'10" 180lbs. The 36 are a perfect fit.I got these to replace some hiking pants from the Gap that I bought 20 yrs ago. Needless to say, they had big shoes to fill. Don't know if they'll last me 20 yrs, but I'm pretty hard on hiking pants.Only worn them once so far, but they feel durable enough to slide across rocks on butt, knees & thighs and hold up.Most notably though, I hike very much off the beaten path. No dirt walking trails for me. I'm climbing rocks in uncharted territory. Very often I find myself needing to raise one leg or the other 3-4' to reach the next foothold. I purchased another brand of hiking pants, that while durable, didn't have enough give in the fabric to accommodate large steps like that. That makes a huge difference when you're 40' up on a 78° slope. You can't be worried about your wardrobe choice at that point. They just need to function.The amount of stretch in these pants is exactly what is needed in that circumstance. I'm able to maneuver with confidence that my pants won't bind and cause me an injury.I also didn't "sweat through" the pants, despite the fact I was dripping sweat. The waterproof claim seems to be legit. They're lightweight, like a stretchy windbreaker. They're not going to protect you from prickly bushes, so I just try to avoid brushing those as well as I can.All in all, these pants are fantastic for rock climbing in 90°+ heat. Well earned 5 stars.

Light weight & comfortable
Love these and wear them regularly. The fabric is synthetic, so if you aren't comfortable in quick dry material these aren't for you, but they're super light so if you work or play outdoors and want long pants that won't make you hot, they're great.The fabric collects oils and stains easily, but they do come out in the wash. The fabric also melts at a relatively low temperature... I had a hot metal flake from drilling steel land on and melt through these pants. Good work pants for low risk of encountering dirt, oil, or heat. Good for hiking and outdoor activities.

Lightweight Comfortable Hiking Pant
Overall decent quality lightweight hiking pant. The material has enough flexibility to be comfortable without binding in various movements. The waist button closure was really weird and can be annoying when opening and closing but the hold was secure. Zippers are not that great of quality and I don’t expect them to last. The knees are not double layered or reinforced as they appear to be time will tell if this is an issue. The pant is thin ripstop style material and offered no insulation as expected. Due to the fabrics water resistance and low breathability they did become warm and caused perspiration but dried relatively quickly. Over all ok, but for the price point I expected better quality waist button, zippers, and double layered reinforced knees.

POOR QUALIITY. NO LONGEVITY.
DO NOT BUY! I purchased these hiking pants and on the 5th hike (during the hike) the groin area ripped at the seams. Luckily I was close to the end of my hike. These were the right fit and everything and on the first hike I could tell these were going to be a problem. A stitch had already come undone and just became worse. I do not recommend these as regular hiking pants. Purchased a pair of 100% cotton hiking pants which I should have done in the first place. Also, these pants I am reviewing have absolutely nowhere to put anything and the pockets it does come up with or dismal for space.

Comfortable lightweight pants
I have now bought three pairs and use them extensively. They have performed well on long hikes and wet wading for fly fishing. These pants are very comfortable and they dry very quickly. They resist the thorny plant life that I seem to always encounter when fly fishing. These pants are well suited for warmer temperatures and when fast drying is needed. These are not water resistant and the fabric is very lightweight.

Great pants but some quality flaws
Pants fit as expected. They are comfortable and water proof. But after wearing them one time the clasp broke off. So now they don’t button.

Very light!
These are very light, if you're in cold weather (30's) you'll probably need another layer to be comfortable. I'm very pleased with them but I really wish they had come with a belt. Get a belt!!! It is important when you're hiking! These are wonderful pants, very flexible!Update Aug '21Just got back from a 4 day backpacking trip in Colorado, mostly above 10,000'. Even in the cold 30° mornings (no wind or rain) with no long johns on underneath I was plenty warm. The only drawback to these is there's no cargo pocket for easy access. When hiking with a backpack that you don't want to take off every time you want to grab a snack, it'd be nice to have cargo pockets to throw in some extra stuff. Other than that these are excellent pants and have held up well.

Flexibility & Size
AMAZING! I just got them in the mail & tried them on & they are everything I needed them to be when it came to flexibility. Not only flexible at the waist but I'm sure you could do the full splits without any resistance at all, (I can't confirm that because I can't do splits lol) from crouching, pending, stretching it's all on point & they really do feel like you aren't wearing anything at all. Thin & breathable they're great for this 90° weather.Luckily for me I came across another reviewer with my exact height & weight & I followed his suggestion to get a size up so instead of my usual 34 waist I ordered a 36 & fits perfectly. just a slight high water & skinny.

Awful
Very unhappy with my order. They are very thin material and didn’t come with fleece lining. Complete waste of money.

Although it's very thin and stands short in size - it's good waterproof layer
I am a Asian - small, thin layer is not enough for me when I am out in bush. I thought it is having padding , insulation type. But it is thin waterproof pant- will make use of it.

No fleece.
The product says that is lined with fleece and it is not lined in fleece. I wouldn't have bought them if they weren't lined and fleece.
