Your mileage may vary.

Not that anybody really cares that much, but BSA uniform are only meant to be purchased by BSA members. They are price competitive for zip off pants. Fit on the men's side is hit or miss. Fits some better than others. They are optimized towards light weight and quick drying. Not the best for the rigors of working around machinery. Campmor also makes a version of these.
