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.

I would say yes. These are some of the thinnest knee pads I've ever owned and they still protect great. If your work pants are on the baggier side you'll be fine. If you weren't looking specifically for hardshell pads, then a thinner option would be volleyball pads, but these are the thinnest hardshells I've owned and they saved my knees a hundred times while snowboarding.

I would think it would be. they are not bulky and yet they keep you warm...do not dry clean..

I use em for airsoft but they are good and durable so i think theyd be fine for paintball. Good luck.

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 couldn't say for sure as I cannot speak from experience, but I'd imagine they would work just fine. They have great grip, even when wet. And I occasionally ride with combat boots.

Yes. Absolutely. They will work for the wet clothes and much more. They are the BEST!

Whoops, I made a mistake, my pants are not 1000 Denier (duh), but the Ripstop material, which is still very tough material. Anyhoo, you won't have a problem with them.

Yes. They are slightly lighter than denim jeans, but warmer than traditional cargo/hiking pants. (If in doubt, take a pair of footless tights - but unless it gets into the sub-freezing temps, I don't think you'd need any under layer. )

Yes. I am a big guy (6 '3') and I have been using these for my pants (which are big and heavy) with no issues.

I have run a spartan in these pants. I ran in a full plate carrier with a gasmask and these pants with boots. These pants held up just fine and I still wear them today for field geology and other outdoor activities. Just know these pants will weigh you down and limit your mobility, something you do not want to risk during OCRs since it could put you at a greater risk for injury.

Hi George - Oh the days when I had a 30 inch waist! I agree with the other posters here. I'd opt for small. I will also say that I've wear my pants at least three or four days a week. I've hiked in them, done yoga in them and they are really resilient. I have a small ember burn on one leg, but outsaide of that they are fairly indestructible.

I think they would be okay. Though one possible issue might be how to repackage them for the trip. I don't think the plastic pouch they come would be able to stand up to the rigors of a pack crammed with all of your camping gear.

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

I think so. They are made of plastic and are very durable and lightweight. Should be good for outdoors too! Hope this helps.

I wouldn't think so, but if you are wearing them in the desert at the Burning man event. I would think they would be awfully hot. The vents allow the heat to escape, but, still, you will probably be drenched with sweat? My best guess...

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.
