would these be good for survival pants?

Don't think I know the answer to that, but they are well made, material seems strong.

I believe, yes, in hot weath climate in works like Forestguard, but isn't the ideal, this may work well but..., I sugesst to you Propper but 100% cotton ripstop BDU's pants, P.D. I'm in Colombia, I work in field, wet forest and cloud forest, I know wath I say.

No. These pants attract zombies. I think it's something in the waterproofing material. Also, they SCREAM "I am well-prepared and have lots of supplies on hand." You need to be a little more subtle than that, or you'll attract attention. Also, the belt has a tendency to get wrapped around your neck and choke you out, which decreases chances of survival.

they should be. I've used these for hiking, camping (wearing in tent), etc. They are actually quite pleasant in smell, and one of my favorite for mosquito repellents (believe me Ive tried a lot too) . Avon bug guard wipes are also a favorite of mine. Avon SSS Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Towelettes - Pack of 16 BONUS SIZE

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

I really think so. They are great for "light" as they are made for welding. I was walking down Vegas Blvd. and got a lot of responses. The foam padding needs some 'buffering'. Maybe get some mole skin at the first aid station at your local store. I got the, for 'looks'. They are about the size of a cola can.

I don't think so. I tried them out for just work use (retail), and they were falling apart (I had a hole in the pad area) in less than a week. I don't imagine they'd hold up too well with more vigorous use.

Yes, they would fit under pants as long as the legs were quite "roomy". Skinny jeans won't work for putting these underneath them.

I suspect so. I use these gloves for paintball war games. In theory, they'll work well for hunting and/or hiking.

Probably.... but the pants have a drawstring to tighten. You could make it work. I would prob go a size smaller. They are pretty long already.

These are pretty decent Cordua nylon. What denier I am not sure...I peddled in a lashing rain storm for a brief period and my gear stayed dry...I would believe that the packs are pretty good at repelling water, but if subjected to constant daily rolling down a wet road, rainy conditions your gear will eventually get wet. Easy fix is to purchase a pair of water proof covers that will reject any wet for long periods or long trips where keeping gear dry is essential.

They are thin enough and compression leggings, but not sure they bring warmth other than them being another layer. The compression will help with the hiking and may keep you from getting cold just because it is another layer of clothing.

I didn't buy them for wearing anywhere except to bed in the winter. For that they work GREAT! How they would hold up in boots is iffy. They seem a bit to 'fluffy' for much hard wearing. I would try it but would wear thin 'wicking' socks under them.

I can't advise you on this matter, however I tend to believe they may be suitable. Please follow the reccomended heat advised by the manufacturer. The fit of the glove should be coverage against splatter or spill, in most cases. I feel fairly confident in personally using these for the use you describe.

Yes. They would be fine for this but I would recommend wearing long socks for a cushion. They are quite comfortable but for hiking they may tend to chafe a bit. I have worn them all day doing work in the yard with no problems but I was glad to take them off at the end of the day.

Can't find exactly what you're refering to, but I think the answer is no. These pants have pockets, so you could wear them to the corner store to buy some milk, but there's no fly and they're very thin material. Great for sleepwear or doing yoga. I wouldn't wear them while going about my day out in the real world.

You could use them over a pair of thermals; they do seem to offer a bit of wind resistance/repellency. If you're going to do this maybe get one waist size up; they do not run small and there is room in the legs but the waist only stretches so much and thermals often go higher up the abdomen. Oh, and there is enough room around the cuff for a good-sized boot. Cheers!

It should work, they stretch good enough for movement but not as much too loose its shape. You should be ok since they fit snugly.

I believe they would work well for skiing, they are thicker than standard thermal underwear, without being bulky. I think the activity statement pertains to construction or building trades.
