All Eddie Bauer pants

Long-term testers report Eddie Bauer's Guide Pro-style pants hold up well: one reviewer logged over 50 days of wear across two pairs with no pilling, snags, or tears despite bushwhacking and garage work, and called the 94% nylon/6% spandex fabric accurate in fit with a well-placed rise across 26 size options. The DWR water-resistant finish wears off quickly and needs reapplying. Forum users warn the line isn't consistent across models: the cheaper Rainier pant runs a looser fit with roughly a 2-inch difference in waist sizing versus the Guide Pro at the same labeled size, plus lower quality.

Strengths

Owners who put heavy trail and work use on the pants report the nylon/spandex fabric resists pilling, snags, and tears even after 50+ days of wear.

Watch out for

The water-resistant DWR coating wears off quickly and needs reapplying, and quality isn't consistent across the line — the cheaper Rainier style runs looser and lower quality than the Guide Pro at the same size.

Sizing

Sizing runs accurate with a well-placed rise across a wide 26-option range, but expect roughly a 2-inch difference in waist fit between the Rainier and Guide Pro pants at the same labeled size.
