They’re comfortable. Walking around in hiking pants is going to feel weird, and eventually you’ll yearn for the comfort of a nice pair of relaxed fit jeans to keep you comfy and cozy all day long.
They’re stylish. Show me another pair of pants that’ll cradle your exquisite lower physique in a more lady-impressing flattering manner. You need at least one decent-looking outfit, and it’s tough to find travel pants that don’t look like safari expedition gear.
They’re durable. No amount of sleeping on concrete floors is going to do a single speck of damage to these babies.
They have impregnable pockets. Have you ever had pants with vertical slash pockets? You might as well just throw your keys and camera and fancy smartphone right into a gutter. Or, you could just wear jeans. The front pockets might as well be a money belt.
