Gear Review
NOT perfect
By Jorge Hurtado
Ranked #14 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants
January 27, 2009
I bought this last December to travel through the jungle in Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. The FIRST day I tried on I made a hole in on of the side pockets. The assembly is: SHITTY. You can't beat this gear too much otherwise you'll see the damage really soon. It barely made it through some rough trip on the lacandona jungle. I had to sew it myself but the MADE IN BANGLADESH really sucks... the hangers that are on the belt were almost destroyed at the end.. very poor construction. On the other hand the technology was really helpful those things dried all sorts of fast. Lot's of pockets were really helpful during the trip. The sippers are great very good ones. I really liked the "concealed one" by the right side pocket.
If you use it as I saw most SENIOR US peepz on the streets of Chiapas and Guatemala to stroll on the markets well you look great but if you are using them for what they are worth... you'll find they're not only expensive.. they're not up to the standards of this company.
love-hate relationship... mainly hate.
