Never been military , but you may want to check out LAPG . Been happy with their pants for comfort and hiding oilgunk stains from working on my car if you get them in black . Seem durable so far but I haven ' t stressed them at all , really . <| sep |> Don ' t get me wrong , I love Paris too , but an intensive running schedule can get dull after a while in the city . I love running in nature and we have very little parks compared to cities like London or Berlin . Whenever I ' m at my parents I have hundreds of trails to chose from , in Paris I only get to pick 3 or 4 different paths especially for long runs . And as I said , air pollution always is in the back on my head when I go for an intense session . I check it with an app and try to run at the cleanest hours ie early mornings .
