Zero thorn protection
"These pants are very well made, that much I appreciate. Unfortunately, my primary goal in buying these pants was to have thorn protection while bushwhacking in the summer. Multiple other reviews claimed these pants provided good protection against thorns. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! From what I can tell, none of those people have ever been outside in the brush. Grass, maybe. These pants are no better than a loose fitting pair of regular thin jeans when it comes to brush protection, which you can thrift for about $5. I will say, the pockets are excellent and the construction is generally very well done, though the pants are clearly for an hourglass shape. They make me look like I wanted winged hips a la 1930s African safari fashion. But I digress. Another review indicated they “looked like new after a ‘full season of wear’” which again, I ask you, doing what exactly, office work? Like I said, they’re well made and all, but I’ve warn them for less than a month of farm chores taking temporary electronet through the woods and other general property clean up, and they definitely don’t look new. For as dark as the color, they stay impressively cool in summer sun. I just wish they did the only thing I bought them to do."
