I had bought two of these pants and was a month in Costa Rica (with backpack). I am very happy with the pants. Here are the advantages: - Dries - Can be worn relatively long without stink, because dirt is not the same color visible - Zip-off is very convenient, you have to take any extra shorts (saves weight) - The pants are very easy and can be made very small in a backpack - Mosquitoes can not pierce ... if you do it but briefly, the sting anyway in the legs
So more than 50, - I would still not spend on it. Is finally "only" a pair of pants.
