    Mine have lasted 10 years and never broken, so they are great zippers

    You can put me down for a pair in coyote, od and brown. Looks like a screaming deal, especially if comparible quality to some 5... Gear.

    Tagged!

    Definitely interested. I think most people have already hit the nail on the head. The option of waist and inseam sizing is a big thing for me as well, opposed to the S,M,L etc, which never seem to fit us taller folks well.

    -Velcro pull tabs instead of elastic (cuffs, waist, ankles).
    -magnetic pockets (silent and if earth mag its are used durable)
    -built up knees (i.e. Similar to Arc'tyrc with the fire hose material)
    -a heavy bush and an airflow option would be awesome.
    -2" belt loops
    -flat colors instead of cammo(personal prefrance)
    -Hunter orange option

    These are a few things, I have found tiered pants are a great way to go say a 29.99 option and a 79.99 option with more features. I will definatly keep an eye on this as I buy 3-5 pairs a year most ranging from 99 to 299 if I could buy a bunch with decent features at your pricing I will be buying a lot of pants!

    Great approach asking the community first.

    the problem with the magnet is it screws up your compass. I personally would love to see these in more than one camo style, as well another option that would be nice would be to have a couple sets with flannel liners in them for those cold days on the range/ hunting. I also like the idea posted earlier about having a hammer loop, as this would be useful for carrying a hatchet. Another feature that would be nice would be a light waterproofing, helping keep you dry.
    If you where to get jackets as well, having an integrated backpack built in would be a nice feature allowing those of us who use waist packs to carry a bit more, or fit a hunting synopsis. As well having a hood that can be zipped into the collar is often quite handy. Also, jackets should be sold in two length styles- long and short, with the short going just past waist or whatever, and the long going a bit further down to cover your butt and keep it dry while sitting in a hide. Having an interior loop in the jacket that can be tied into your belt loop, thus keeping the two together is also quite handy. Also, a couple of attachment points for molle could be nice for customizing setup, as well as helping break up your visibility

    Ditch the d rings, keep the thighs roomier, but please taper the leg. There's nothing worse that having pants that are big enough to eat my boots.

    Also, a cinch feature along the waistline. Velcro or otherwise.

    Also, maybe go to a classic polly/cotton BDU material as opposed to the ripstop.

    Interested!! I like the idea of a front pocket for knife/multi/phone and a regular pocket on the side for other stuff. More separated areas for edc is awesome.

    Don't magnets ruin credit cards though?
