If I had to choose a single pair of pants to keep in my closet, it's these pants. They are water repellent, stretchy, and an all occasion pant ranging from rock climbing, hiking, or even the everyday office pants. More importantly, they are slightly tapered at 29", so they are the perfect length for me (I'm 5'8" so the default 32 length is never fun). I'm on my third pair now, and I would super sad if these were no longer made.
