Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

*EDIT* I got another couple pairs and went a size up and length as well. They fit much better. I usually wear a 35/36x32 in everything (36 in these types of pants) but the 36 was already stretching the elastic on these pants and the length was way too short. Any time I bent over they would get snagged on my the top rear part of my boots then I looked like a wanna be paratrooper.The 34 length is perfect. So go a full size and length up from what you normally get. Surprisingly impressed with these pants. I bought them because I need black pants for work, and they are similar to the 5.11 pants I enjoy normally that have the front thigh pockets. I was using the knock off dickies from wal-mart (I don't know why) and 6 pairs lasted about 6 months before I got annoyed for the material thinning and the pocket velcro coming completely off. They, and other dickies are exactly the same price as these pants, around $30. So If you are like me and looking for something along those lines, and familiar with 'tactical' pants or wore a uniform for the military and fell in love with how simple it all was having ripstop and cargo pockets everywhere at all times, then I recommend the CQR's. I normally wear a 34/36 waist and I went with a 36, just like I do in 5.11/condor/tru-spec/etc etc.. I maybe could have even gone with a 38 because the elastic does stretch when I put them on. So keep that in mind, and just try the next size up on these to avoid trying to make pants that are too small work. Just return them if they are too big, but I seriously doubt they will be. My next pair will be a 38, and every pair after that will be too. As for the material and durability, it seems to be the standard rip-stop and well constructed. The cargo pockets don't expand at all, which I find a downside of most cargo pants now days. I actually use them, so stuffing my gloves or something in them creates a noticeable bulge. The crotch is gusseted, and I have honestly never had that problem so many thick thighed people seem to have. I am 6'0 and 190 pounds, so I walk normally and don't do splits. So I expect them to outlast dickies that I am fed up with and I may even swap from my 5.11's to these all together. I just wish they had a more jean like look in their lineup. Something like the 5.11 Ridgelines would be great.
