After putting 100,000k+ gain on these pants, I can say that I like them. They are breathable (with vents), lightweight, and the zippered pockets are easy to operate. For most uses and most users, these will be a dandy.
I also appreciate that Dynafit added a velcro adjustment in the waist, as I have struggled with the portly Euro fit in the past and would rather not use suspenders or a belt.
I do have a couple of quibbles.
1) I think that the thigh pocket is poorly placed. Compared to other pants, it sits rather forward-facing, so my beacon (or whatever else I put in there) ends up resting on my kneecap. This isn't the end of the world, but especially when the pants get wet etc, it can be annoying.
2) After having washed the pants a few times (with regular soap - not techwash) I think the material has dried out a little bit and causes chafing on top of my thighs. I have never had this issue in any other pant. This could very well be user error, or at least specific to my biology, which is why I'm not rating these lower.
