In fact, by the end of testing I could feel the handle start to loosen and the rivets seemed to be warping slightly. The wooden handle screws into a riveted base, so there are a couple points of failure over repeated use.

Smithey Carbon Steel Wok: While this was a beautiful, burnished wok, it was quite heavy (3 pounds, 5.5 ounces) and took FOREVER to boil water-more than 15 minutes! Plus, the wok basin was very shallow (it's around three inches deep), and we accidentally flung grains onto our cooktop when making fried rice.Serious Eats/Russell Kilgore The Competition Ease of Cleaning: After each test, we cleaned each wok, following these instructions.User-Experience Evaluation: Throughout testing, we assessed how easy each wok was to use, paying attention to the wok’s handle and build quality and how balanced it felt in hand.Responsiveness and Conduction Test: We boiled six cups of water over high heat, studying heat responsiveness, conduction, and uniformity.Stir-Frying Test 2: We made garlic fried rice, evaluating stickage and assessing batch-cooking, stirring, stir-frying, and saucing capabilities.Stir-Frying Test 1: We stir-fried greens, looking at how easy it was to stir-fry and toss in each wok.Egg-Frying Test: Over medium-high heat, we fried an egg in two teaspoons of vegetable oil, to assess any imperfections in the existing seasoning.Pre-Seasoning Step: Prior to testing, we seasoned each of the woks (using these instructions and a total of four rounds of seasoning), to level the playing field.And then, fuck all that nonsense, cause it's not really that big of a deal.

Anyways, check out Uniqlo, I believe they had some nice looking, slim/ tapered cargo pants.

What the hell do you need all those pockets for? Just carry a backpack. Like, false utilitarian, some sort of pretentiousness.

Even the pockets, you don't want to look like you've got two huge bulges at your knees, it's just weird. In case you don't know, cargo pants need to be slim, not baggy, and bunchy, like cargo pants usually are. I would say that if you're following the rules of cargo pants, so that you don't look like a schmuck, is fine.
