The softshell fabric is way softer than I expected for something this rugged, and the stretch lets me squat and climb without any binding. Been wearing them for yard work and quick hikes and they still look sharp enough for a casual dinner.

Wore these on a three-day hiking trip and the stretch softshell never felt restrictive, even scrambling over rocks. They're soft against the skin but held up to brush and scree without a scratch.

Wore these on a week-long hiking trip and the stretch softshell handled scree and brush without a single snag. Only gripe is the cut runs a bit long in the leg for my 30-inch inseam.
