Am careful with my gear and do not recall ever getting snagged or getting into any stickers, there is now a 3 inch tear on the front, called them, need to send them back to see if they can repair or replace them.
To do it again I would have bought something else, sturdier.............I do not think that these (expensive) rain pants will hold up too well on the AT.
