I bought these pants for my 7 year old son who is very happy and migrate extensively with me. Meanwhile, the trousers have survived five appearances and has just as often been washed (it was always bitterly necessary) ... it looks like new. Very handy are the drawstrings at the ankles, you can quickly pull together just below the knee after the pant has been pushed upwards. Thus it can be stood up to the calves in the water without having abzippt trousers alike. Strong buy recommendation!
