Tyrillius,
I have worn mine three days since I got them a week ago. I even wore them to the mountains on Saturday on my fishing excursion. They performed just as I expected. It was great having the stretch fabric on the knees and thighs for rock crawling and stalking. I would have to pull up my old nylon pants before crouching to keep from pulling them to break of ripping.
I have to say the wife hates the appearance of them, but I had five people (men) throughout the day comment on how cool they looked. One of the five was even Mr. Begley himself. I was anxiously awaiting for 9 days after ordering mine before they arrived. There is a pretty good sale going on at the following link if anybody is interested in picking up a pair or anything else in the Craghoppers line.
