These pants are comfortable. They're a little snugger than other Columbia pants I've bought in the past, but they're not too tight. They are very utilitarian. They have pockets on top of pockets.... Literally. They are the right size and they secure with velcro, even the flapped back pockets. Of course, it would be silly to make pants with flapped back pockets and no way to secure them. After all, what would the purpose be? Your wallet, et al. could just flop out any time you took a spill or had some other accident. Who would make pants like that? Actually, Columbia would. I have a pair. The description didn't alert me to that deficiency and I started to send them back. But those are not THESE pants. These pants are good. I have just one complaint: The picture makes them appear to be sand colored. They aren't. They're almost peach. The bad news is that the other color options ain't that grand either. You can have either Olive Drab or Black. For me, the sand color was the obvious choice... Until I pulled them out of the bag. Oh, well. If it weren't for the color, I'd have given them a "5". As for durability, I have no idea. I just got them.
