I wear them ALL the time. They have replaced jeans in my wardrobe for everyday wear as well as for hiking, camping, canoeing. They are tough as nails, dry quickly, are comfortable, etc. I have a couple of weatherpants, winter weatherpants, and X-treme adventure pants. I am wearing a pair as I sit here tonight. I wore a single pair of the winter weatherpants for 3 weeks straight on a high arctic kayak trip.
