Are REI Trailmade pants worth it for a kid who plays outside a lot?

Yes, REI Trailmade pants are an investment in your sanity if your kid lives outside, because they’re engineered for rough play and reduce the losing battle of laundry day. But buy one pair first before stocking up, since kids’ sizing varies wildly and the best pant is useless if your kid refuses to wear it because it ‘feels weird.’
