I'm an archaeologist in the US southwest, often off-trail in scrub. I had the same issue with Kuhl not lasting. Look for something ripstop, probably cotton-nylon or cotton-polyester blend for durability and comfort. I've been wearing LAPG Urban Ops Tactical pants for years and am happy with them. Not as flattering a fit as some, but cheaper and much more durable than Kuhl: https://lapolicegear.com/lapg-urban-ops-tactical-pants.html.

I love the 1620 Workwear Utility pants that someone else mentioned, have 2 pairs. They're bombproof, but I wear them in the shop not the field - too stiff and heavy for the range of motion I need. Their Tech Stretch line would be better for field use but I haven't tried them yet.

I bought some Vertx Phantom Ops tactical pants from LAPD.com because I hate wearing pants when its 105 with 50% humidity in texas.. They have mesh running down the inner seams. I am not allowed to wear shorts at work, but this is the workaround. Absolutely feels like wearing shorts. Highly durable like most ripstop gusset crotched tacticals. Wish I would have thought of this genius idea.
