“I hike in my private woods every day. lots of deer and you know what they carry! bought a pair of these ONE year ago, but they wore out, most pockets ripped at corners: in the dryer on high for 20 min afer each hike, but washed only 2x! the new zip pockets are way better than the old velcro closures. also, tighter weave, and softer. I also use these for yard work, deer hang out in the yard all the time and the yard is a tick haven. no ticks on me! (I have the Insect Sield socks, shirt, hat, AND I spray my hiking shoes with Permethrin)”
“I hike a lot and am always in the woods. Every year I get a new pair of these cargo pants and love them. The khaki color lets me see any ticks, and the insect shield has them fall off. they do last thru the washes, but I treat myself to a new pair every year.”
