I became a huge Arc'teryx fan about 12 years ago when I bought my first real pack, the Bora 60 (which I still have and use on a regular basis). I have been a very happy customer ever since, and the Minuteman pants are just another positive testimonial to reinforce that. I was fortunate and found them on sale for half the normal cost, Arc'terxy is expensive but worth every penny. They make the most durable clothing and equipment I've used. I have put those pants through hell almost every day for two seasons, and they look and perform as if bought yesterday. Breathability, freedom of movement, water-resistance, weight and general fit are all optimum. I use them inbounds, for backcountry day trips, touring and multiple day winter camping. These pants do it all. Additionally, they wash easy and have lost none of their weatherproofing features because of it. I expect to be using these pants for many years to come, just as I have everything else Arc'teryx.

I bought my first pair about 2 1/2 years ago. I wore them every day, for everything. Great running shoes, probably the best I've worn. I thrashed the first pair (by normal standards) they still look and feel pretty good, but was itching for a bright new shiny pair. Maybe some improvements have been made, because second pair is holding up even better than the first. Waterproof, durable, excellent traction, and extremely comfortable for a slightly pronated stride like I have. I’m very impressed, they’re worth the money.
