Bought these right as I was leaving the wildland firefighting field. These are absolutely worth it and comfortable, the elastic waist, light fabric, breezy leg. When you are drenched in sweat the breeze will travel up the leg a bit and keep you cool. Never been washed or worn, tag attached and haven’t cut off the bottom of the pants yet. Fire resistant to federal standard, so wash accordingly, there are directions on the tag. 30/28
