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 think they would be plenty sturdy for that purpose.mine store my socks and underwear and with every day use are just fine.

It's a start. If he has an insulated pair of blue jeans over them he should be fine. May want to look at the expedition weight they are warmer.

I am not sure as that would have more substance to it. However they do fit tight just like underwear so it may be able to hold up. You could possibly buy a small pack or email the manufacturer & see if they offer samples. I hope this helps. Vicki

I think it would be just fine. You don't want the pants too long anyway. The threads will still go down to your boots.

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

Definitely! They fit pretty snugly, so just be careful not to stretch too much or they will tear (but for the price and amount you get, this isn't the worst thing).

I would assume so. They are tougher than you think. They wash like sheets or very light quilts.

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.

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!

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

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.

I think they would withstand the heat. I don't know if the size is right but heat wise, yes. I don;t think there is anything saying they wouldn't.

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

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 don't really know. I always use mine after having washed my pants. I guess you could try them -- I don't see why they wouldn't work. Sorry not much help. All I can say is they are great on washed pants.
