I bought the tiger stripe version of these for 40€ when they came out for wildlife photo and hiking, and have just used them for a week of hiking. I am comparing them to other military cargo pants (such as Opex Guerilla, Varu cargo pants, Varu's old style of 3/4 shorts, and Brandit urban legend) The cut is very comfortable and the whole thing feels solid and well made. I'm very happy with the pockets, I was able to carry a bunch of things in them without fear of losing them, and it still felt comfortable (the thigh pockets are the best I've tried so far). I am grateful Varusteleka gave this a zipper fly because I hate the button fly they have on other stuff. The "phone pocket" is at a good size (for my 6'' at least) and prevents damage to the phone when putting on shoes. I have a few nitpicks: - tigerstripe looks ultra cool but is realistically too dark for euro forest camo and also too dark for summer hiking (absorbs heat too well). A modern camo version would be good - hook & loop closures are the most convenient solution I have tried, but are a bit noisy for stalking animals; I think I would rather have snap buttons. They also can snag onto and damage other things (like expensive sweat-wicking t-shirts) in the wash. - the back pocket flaps bend the wrong way when sitting, resulting in "dog ears" - the "phone pocket" on the right is not replicated on the left like it is on other Varu trousers (the more pockets the better!) - In my ideal world, the fabric would be ripstop weave, and there would be pockets to insert knee pads These are overall the best 3/4 cargo shorts I have tried, and am quite happy with them (Do consider that 3/4 cargo trousers are a lot rarer than full length ones). I am considering buying a second pair because I'm afraid of not finding others as good for some time. 40€ is right on the edge of what I would consider fair for the item.. Which I suppose means Varu priced it well.

Fairly thin material but not cheap. Good for summer or early fall with long underwear and tall mud boots
