These are those classic hiking, work around the yard, durable pants that Prana makes so well. The fit around the butt is great and the legs do not flare out like boot cut. Honestly, they're those pants that all the hiker/trail/handyman love, whether outside or just to the pub. You can feel how they could handle sliding down a hill or being on your knees for a while. Hate to see them go but I promised myself I'd clear out the packed closet in the new year. My loss is your gain.
