What More Could You Ask For in a Pair of Hiking Pants?

Quite honestly, I'm not sure the folks at Mountain Hardwear could have devised a better design for a pair of hiking pants than what the canyon pants deliver. First and most importantly, these pants are very comfortable to wear. They are constructed of nylon (basically the same type as a pair of swim trunks)which makes them very lightweight and packable. Yet Mountain Hardwear did not compromise any durability in the stitching or materials whatsoever, as these have proven to be a tough pair of pants. This also makes them great when it comes to moisture, as they will wick away much of it away from your skin and also repel decent amounts of precipitation falling from the skies. Even when saturated, mine dried out in about 10 to 15 minutes. The elastic ankle cuffs make them nice to adjust the length to some degree as well. As far as the fit goes, I normally wear between a 34 and 36 and am about 5'8" tall and the large regulars worked perfectly for me. I have used these pants on several lenghty hiking trips and look foward to wearing them on upcoming backpacking adventures. The canyon pants blow all other hiking pants out of the water, no questions asked!
