TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

depends. not everyone can wear pants that zip off above the knee esp if you have large thighs. the zips can rub against your skin. ,. who knows. hard to tell from the photo how good the stitching or cut is or isnt..
well designed pants will have an articulated knee designed better to accommodate the constant bending motion of the knee when walking giving less friction of the fabric over the knee. they don't list a brand so it's unknown quality, you cant search on reviews for it.

If not walking in bush, these pants are useless. They fall right off the bum.
As handy as they are, I do not like the feeling of the zips on my legs. It is a personal thing.

Got some today and they look good. Very similar to many other pants I own for walking.
