I agree with some of the other posts about the change to Bangladesh - the older pants were great but the new ones are falling apart.
I've got two pair I got a year ago and the seams for the seat are falling apart.
An older pair is holding up just fine.
I'm willing to try one more time to see if maybe The NorthFace has done something to improve quality at their new plants, but be aware that the quality has definately suffered.

Definitely something is amiss with the move to Bangladesh. These pants now fit only in short. The medium and long lengths are for freaks of nature.
