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.

Depends, I guess. Standing and walking a lot with these on might compress them permanently and lessen the effects of the item. But these should last for a couple of months depending on usage. (Not a product professional answer.)

If you could get them to stay in maybe... They could be cut easily enough. But they are really designed for Blaklader pants, which are awesome.

Yes. But it should only be the pants you wear. The pants are lined. So long johns and these pants would be fine.

Best warm-weather EMS pants I've found. They're somewhere between rip-stop nylon and a normal solid work-pant. They dry quickly, wipe clean (ish), and are cooler overall than most pants of a similar style.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

The material is a smooth vinyl. They would probably be fine over pants but may not feel good against bare skin.

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.

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 :-)

They are water proof shell pants. Thin. Kind of a tight fit. Might work layered over sweats or fleece.

yes they are, there heavy duty pants that most of the contracters use in iraq where its 115+i hike the grand canyon in them last yearand it was really hot. these pants are almost like wearing shorts

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.

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. )

Probably not as they are cotton and not heavily lined. I hope I've been of help!

No, they're a lightweight, durable hiking/climbing pant. Tights or long underware under them makes them a good bet for the shoulder seasons.

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!

I would definitely say yes. I wear them over a pair of insulated pants with large cargo pockets and rip stop fabric and often times forget I'm even wearing them.
