Gear Review
Not for me, but good
By Todd Harlos
Ranked #17 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants

First the good: great material. It is very light and comfortable and breathes well. It has a good amount of useful pockets and when the zipoffs are removed the shorts arent too short. There is a wicking material in the waistband.
Why they dont work for me: The mesh liner. I normally do not wear underwear at all but dont mind liners in swim trunks, running shorts, etc. I tried them out as is. Too tight and restrictive. No problem, I cut them out. Wore them on a weeklong hike. I discovered that the way the seams are does not mesh with my hydraulics, even if I was wearing silkweight longunderwear. Sadly, I will not be using these again.
That being said, I think these will work great for anyone who doesn't mind the liner.
