Depends on the pant.
I had very expensive Spyders once with seemingly nice fabric that after one season developed thousands of little threads on the surface. This would cause powder especially to cling. I attempted to cut them with scissors bit it was like trimming a chia pet. Essentially they were done in one year. They're still in the closet for other uses. Just not sure what they are...
I've had a black pair of Patagonias for probably a dozen years. The powder cuff is ripped on one and there are cuts from the outside near the bottom. They certainly aren't waterproof in VT despite spraying with various elixirs. Still quite serviceable.
