I’m not a big reviewer so let that be my disclaimer here.I’m a nurse and do non critical hospital to hospital flight transports, generally for the VA, and we don’t have flight suits. So I wanted to get Some pants the would carry whatever I needed if things go south, which they can quickly.My first impression was how well they fit. I wear a medium across the board and these were dead on. They probably give a 30-34 inch waist adjustment, I liked that.The pockets are accessible, and the Velcro is quite strong. In the back of the thigh there is a large pocket that is semi difficult to open, and ANOTHER pocket INSIDE which is a little harder even, but things are definitely secure.I don’t understand the bottom Of them pants. That have little ribbon type ties. I would rather they flare slightly to fit over a she or boot better, but really that’s my only complaint.Pockets. Pockets, pockets, pockets. The pants are made of a stiff, durable feeling material and give the impression they would withstand a beating, but are surprisingly comfortable. So much so, I’ve worn them multiple times on my regular ER nursing shifts where I am constantly moving and lifting and are THOROUGHLY enjoying them for that. I thought they would be too warm but they seem to be surprisingly cool. I can’t justify buying another pair for work right now, especially when I really only use the two front thigh pockets. But those thighs pockets... They da best.Lastly, the back pockets. They snap on the side, and in the snapped position are fairly roomy back pockets. But unsnapped... I can fit 4 bottles of wine between the two. Or perhaps a baby in each one. Point is, they get very roomy. Molle straps are useless to me and on the other side they have a removable Velcro strap I believe is suppose to hold something long and slender in, but I took it out and put my scissors in there.$99 for pants is pricy in my opinion. When compared to Kitanica pants, which the only other thing I think these compare to, they are a really good value.
