Do you think these pants will be durable and comfortable for an archaeologist out in the hot sun and DIRT? Is the material thin and nylon-ish (like athletic pants), medium weight, or heavy-duty?

Thin rip stop type material like Army ACU pants. The fabric it has little grids or hashtag, squares. There's no padding in the thickness like a Carhart pant would be and thinner than a pair of Dickies. They are not waterproof but water beads up some on them but will soak through a little.

Probably durable but they seem to hold heat in when the sun is shining on them.

Definitely will do well in the dirt. The material is between medium and heavy-duty. Very durable and comfy! Not too much ventilation though--I used them while in equatorial Africa and survived, but was a bit hot.

The pants are thin but the knit is very tight so I wouldn't say they are "like athletic pants" but definitely thinner and more lightweight compared to other Tac pants. Dirt will be no problem for these pants.

I bought these pants in the summer and they have done well on cool mornings until fall. I would not consider them winter pants. I have been camping with them and put them on in the morning and that was ok. It really depends a lot on your personal preferences.

Well, may be medium. Pants are roomy, but need to be worn carefully because material is easy to tear apart, not for active outdoor time.

Hmm-m-m . . . I have no experience with fire ants at all, so I'm hesitant to say. But these are a synthetic material, definitely thicker than a typical pair of socks, and have rubber grips on the bottom. But not thick enough to go very long on a rough surfaces (asphalt, say) without any shoes. Our river experiences are with some smooth-ish rocks and sand. These should be great for that. And I would think fine for your purposes-- although, as you can see, they're only ankle high. (I loved them for snorkeling!)

They seem to be keeping the color fine. I have a few pair of the navy ones I've had for a few years and they've done fine. They aren't as good as say the Arc'teryx or Massif pants I have... But they're not $300... For the price point they're at, I haven't found anything as good or better.

Sorry, I would not know for sure. I ordered the pants for someone else, not myself. I would guess you would need size Large, or possibly XL because we got a size Medium for a young athletic man who weighs about 170 lbs.

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.

We live in Florida and these pants are great even on the hottest days. They are light weight and breathable as well as water proof, which is great because it rains a lot here in the summer.

No noise like wind pants. They're very breathable and lightweight. They're more comfortable on a hot day than any other golf pants I've found.

Hey, I bought these pants in 34W-32 in tan and they arrived promptly in my mailbox! They're good pants, just a little pricey. Steve P

It is not too warm. the same as a medium weight kahki pants, but stong enough to hold a decent weight toddler. there is not as much fabric as mobi.

I don't know what the Marines are accepting as serviceable trousers. I was a Marine before the digital camo, and then we were able to get by with several brands of cammies. These seem very durable , but I'm not sure if they would pass inspection if they are of a different style. These are made in China , so I bet the Corps doesn't order these particular trousers. Sorry I'm not much help .

I found mine to be a good fit/comfortable everywhere but the crotch (and no, not making a sexual joke). The pants were kind of baggy/a little large for size, and I've read that for others as well for various sizes- that they tend to run a little large. I thought they were comfortable except for this one aspect, when I sat down being the most uncomfortable down there. FYI: these snow pants are rather cheap- zipper isn't great and the straps/elastic sides stretch easily so these are not something I'd recommend for constant use but maybe a one time/couple time casual outing.

I would describe the material to be similar to jeans and would think they would be fine for use at the gym or for yoga. The only thing I would consider as "odd-ball" is there is a tag on the front (which you can see in the the picture) and the bottoms don't have as much taper at the ankle as other karate pants.

Hi Ellen, I would not advise wearing socks that are made of wool for hiking during the summer heat. these socks are 67% wool.

Not at all! I love these pants! I just wish they were a little warmer because I would wear them all year long! They are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn (without a sound).

These leg guards protect well at a reasonable weight. In 14yrs umpiring I've never been hit in the field, but I suppose it can happen. I wear wide leg pants at the plate but regular pants on the field, so leg guards would only fit under baggy pants. The foot flaps are removable I think but not the knee flaps. This gear would be to bulky for me to wear in the field in my opinion.
