Bought my first pair and a pair of shorts like them at the start of the summer. They are my go-to pants for everything now. They look nice, feel great, and are super comfy. I can work out in them, climb mountains, and stay nice and cool. They are light and packable. Dry fast. Feel secure and keep things from falling out, if you know what I mean. My wife has a pair of the women's version of these pants, and she has more zippered pockets, which I envy a little, but I can live without them, makes the pants less bulky. I normally wear a 32 length, but these run a little long, so I opted for the short instead of the regular for one pair (I own every color). The short are still a decent length with only one crease at the bottom. The regular bunch up a little at the bottom, but still looks good. If you want more ankle protection, that's the way to go. Love the cinches at the bottom, keeps the bugs out. Perfect pant.
