  I think this is going to depend a lot on the sort of environment you're hiking in For me, one of the big issues with jeans is that they don't dry out easily, if there's any chance you're going to get wet or sweat a lot, they're a very bad choice. In some cases I'd even consider it to be a valid safety issue if for example the temperatures are going to drop and damp clothes are going to put you at risk of hypothermia Or in hotter, humid climates, they won't breathe...
