I wasnt happy with the velcroclosures on the front thigh pockets. As much as I use those for things like my phone and other stuff I want to keep handy, I couldn't get past that. I never even wore mine out before I sold them. Glad you guys are happy with them. They definitely seem well suited for active anglers and hub sitters alike, and they're not too heavy they could be worn on those miserable open water days too.
