Very stiff to start with

First short walk in light rain

Very stiff on my first walk. Will definitely be challenging on the first hikes. Hope the pants will soften up with wear. Very durable feeling though

Quite tight on my waist, even though I sized up one size already. Legs are perfect though: slim thighs, getting wider from knee on downwards. 18cm / 7in leg opening, not too wide but perfect for all kinds of boots. Hope they will allow for more movement on the waist with wear.

Love the color and fit of those, as well as the material and quality. No loose stitching or other remarks. Added layers on front legs and heel should add to the longevity of those. Sturdy button and zipper. Pockets are tight but deep enough to arrange stuff accordingly. Hidden side pocket surprisingly fits my iPhone. Not so good for sitting and kneeling, very good for all other movements.

I’m very curious about break-in and condition in a few years, hopefully after a lot of outdoor activities
