Arcteryx Tactical Pant for Offwidth?

Ran across a couple pairs of these tactical Arcteryx pants with a reinforced knee. I believe they are the Assault AR pant. Kind of pricey and obviously don't want to throw money away for something that is getting torn up for climbing, but just curious if anyone has tried these pants for offwidth and how they hold up compared to Carhartts? All heckling and comments from the peanut gallery are encouraged, as is the standard.

I've worn them in the field and can say carharts would be better for what you want.

They're materials are similar to crye pants and breathe well, flex well, but they'd be torn to shreds after a route or two

I meant like this.

Work trousers are your best bet if you are climbing the size that needs tough trousers.

If you want to pay the money I have found the arc'teryx gamma rock pants to be crazy tough for what they are really fantastically durable for how fine and breathable the fortius stuff is if you got them in the "stingrey" color they would even work well in the summer.

You should buy both pairs and cut the knees out of one pair. Sew the knee into the other knee and they will last four times as long! And you should still be able to sell the other pair to sport climbers who need to put knee pads on their knees. Unless of course they low ball you for your like new kneeless pants! 

Arcteryx and offwidth don’t belong in the same sentence. It’s like saying dirtbag land rover. There’s surely a goodwill in your town...

Modern cammis have Velcro pockets which you can add knee pad sheets to. I know the digital and Multicam army ones have it, not sure about the marine digis. Under $20 at a surplus store or eBay.

There's no way ACUs would last either. The ass blows out after a week, and they rip all the time. Its thin rip stop. And whoever at PEO decided to out the velcro instead of buttons and the zipper on the blouse was an idiot.  

Carharts at goodwill and duct tape will do you well.

The Goodwill has always been my go-to offwidth clothing store!
