I'm a wedding photographer, which means needing dress clothes that survive a lot of movement and which also move with me. Two events down and I'm sold. I just took these pants through a 12 hour day of lots of squatting, going up and down stairs, and chasing children on a dance floor. They kept me cool, and at the end of the day I could have hung them back up in the closet and fooled anyone that they hadn't been worn yet. They only thing you can't do with these pants is dry your hands on them when the bathroom is out of paper towels. The coating works that well.
