I write this review as a professional Buyer (of clothing) & as someone who has survived a fire.
I have been left with just the contents of my pockets after a fire consumed all my personal possessions. God forbid anything similar should happen to you, but, if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation these trousers are the best available.
The reason I am so enthusiastic about them is the pockets zip up. This makes it harder for someone to pick your pockets & retains your items if you sit down or fall over, for example.
You can keep your keys in one set of pockets & your credit/debit card(s), your cash & 'phone in another pocket, for instance.
Should the worst ever happen, you would have all the essentials to hand.
So, for this reason I give the Ibex Pant (from Mountain Equipment) 5-stars. I have put my money where my mouth is & bought three pairs.
My only quibble is they have a large white company logo on the left leg (which I would rather do without - I prefer subtle branding), but, all in all, it's a minor quibble with an excellent product.
I urge you to prepare for the worst & buy these pants.
