-
Stitching: double seams & reinforced stress points
-
Pocket placement: reachable while sitting/kneeling

Knees: reinforced panels or knee-pad pockets
-
Waist: comfort waistband + strong belt loops

Weight: lighter feels better on long walks
-
Noise: avoid loud, crispy fabrics when stealth matters
