Not sure what Woven stretch polyamide is and if that would be good for hiking, sounds ok, what you guys think, if they have other colours might consider getting some and for 24 bucks each not a bad deal.

Cheers.

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.

Don't know about hiking, but they might be OK for bushwalking..

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.

They did look quite good, just a shame they were out of my size Large by the time I got there, they must have sold like hot cakes
