Right now, I am using a pair of Magellan's and the are cheap too, but seem to be wearing just fine. I had a little rough downward trekking on a property that I have and ended up on my booty a couple of times and they seemed to have worn just fine. They did get dirty (when do you trek and not get dirty) but they seem to wear great. If they continue to hold up like they have, I just go for another pair...sabre11004....
