These are by far the most comfortable pants I own for three seasons. I'm retired and only wear shorts in the summer (Bakersfield is HOT). The pants give when I need them too and seem to be very durable.

Like all the pants and shirts I have from Duluth, these are sturdy and I can tell they'll last a long time.
That when Duluth makes a quality product that I really like, they go ahead and either discontinue it (remember the button down 100% cotton shirts that had two pockets visible with a third one tucked away inside the right side pocket? I loved those shirts.) OR they change the fabric and put a stupid tag on the pocket. I can live with the Duluth advertising on my butt cheek, but the new fabric on the Foreman pants is Terrible! Lighter weight and whatever they treated it with makes it like a static dry dust mop. Every piece of fur that my dogs shed is instantly attracted to my pant legs. It's like I'm wearing those old fashioned furry chaps. Thanks Duluth for making me look like a loser.
You cannot count on Duluth to keep a pant consistent. Inevitably, they will change the material with a dramatically different fit. If you bought these in the past, don't bother. This standard fit version is drastically different with a very baggy fit. Much larger than other standard fit Duluth pants. My old versions were made in Indonesia and the new version is made in Vietnam, so obviously the process has changed without consistency. This was the last time I wasted money on Duluth pants. I'm tired of donating to their commercials. I still have an unopened pair in the package collecting dust.
but they don't seem to last very long. In less than a year, the material gets thin and the pants lose their shape. The stretch is still there, but they feel like leotards. Didn't they used to be more rugged?
