would these be good for survival pants?

Don't think I know the answer to that, but they are well made, material seems strong.

I believe, yes, in hot weath climate in works like Forestguard, but isn't the ideal, this may work well but..., I sugesst to you Propper but 100% cotton ripstop BDU's pants, P.D. I'm in Colombia, I work in field, wet forest and cloud forest, I know wath I say.

No. These pants attract zombies. I think it's something in the waterproofing material. Also, they SCREAM "I am well-prepared and have lots of supplies on hand." You need to be a little more subtle than that, or you'll attract attention. Also, the belt has a tendency to get wrapped around your neck and choke you out, which decreases chances of survival.

Yes. I wear them over my combat pants, which is made of 1000 Denier (very tough/coarse material) and don't have a problem with it. I imagine jeans would be even more comfortable.

Hi George - Oh the days when I had a 30 inch waist! I agree with the other posters here. I'd opt for small. I will also say that I've wear my pants at least three or four days a week. I've hiked in them, done yoga in them and they are really resilient. I have a small ember burn on one leg, but outsaide of that they are fairly indestructible.

I think it would be just fine. You don't want the pants too long anyway. The threads will still go down to your boots.

I bought them specifically as some "cheap" snow pants. We were visiting family in Chicago, and were going to go sledding. we were only out for an hour, and they didn't really keep snow out, especially the pockets, which means your top layer doesn't keep you dry and I would expect you'd eventually get cold. They worked short term, but I wouldn't use them to ski

The material is a smooth vinyl. They would probably be fine over pants but may not feel good against bare skin.

Yes. They would be fine for this but I would recommend wearing long socks for a cushion. They are quite comfortable but for hiking they may tend to chafe a bit. I have worn them all day doing work in the yard with no problems but I was glad to take them off at the end of the day.

I would guess that these would be adequate if you used enough of them... Like 6-10 per cloth. They are well made and feel strong.

Probably not as they are cotton and not heavily lined. I hope I've been of help!

I suspect so. I use these gloves for paintball war games. In theory, they'll work well for hunting and/or hiking.

Yup. They'd look great. This is basically what they're made for. They even have a little string wrap that you could untie and tie to a belt or strap around your back.

Probably not, I think they might be too small. I don't use them for diapers though. I use them for a burp cloth. <3

I don't think so. I used them on some thin summery colombia hiking pants to go to a waterfall in a jungle. My lower body got completely soaked

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

I wouldn't think so, but if you are wearing them in the desert at the Burning man event. I would think they would be awfully hot. The vents allow the heat to escape, but, still, you will probably be drenched with sweat? My best guess...

I'd say no. 1. These won't stay on the way you want. (Especially if you're doing kicking drills etc.) They slip and you'll spend more time being annoyed and adjusting than training. 2. The material is cheap. I kept having to come up with new fixes for these. Now they just sit in my closet. Actually I might as well throw them out. 3. They're actually not that heavy. I've worn combat boots that were heavier.

I think so. They are made of plastic and are very durable and lightweight. Should be good for outdoors too! Hope this helps.
