I've always been a jeans guy. When I used to hike, it was always either in jeans or cargo shorts.
After a break of several years, I started hiking again this summer. Jeans felt too constricting and I'm more concerned with ticks in my older years so I ruled out cargo shorts.
So, I bought a pair of cargo pants (and sprayed them with Permethrin; a product I discovered this summer that kills ticks instantly). So much more comfortable than jeans! Now I feel like I may start wearing them regularly.
I've been wearing Wrangler jeans for years and have been wearing their cargo shorts for years as well. So, I picked up their cargo pants.
Anyone else? If so, what brand?
Edit: I'm also a nature/landscape photographer. So they come in real handy while hiking.
