Just received and like them

By John Ranked #121 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants November 11, 2009

I got my pair in from Backcountry.com and was concerned with all the negative reviews. but the pants seem just fine to me after a wear around today outdoors. I am a 31/30 and the medium/short fits perfectly. The inseam is just like any other 30 length inseam I've had to deal with on jeans and pants. What can I say, I'm 5'7". I was afraid they would be too long as many have complained but they are fine for my shorter legs with hiking boots on.I checked out the seams to see what people wer complaining about and found them to be fine quality, especially compared to cheaper, dirtier same types of pants. These are great for hiking, backpacking but they don't seem durable enough for sliding on rocks and glisading down a hill or mountain. I think the material could take it but the seams in the seat could strain and wear. I like the snaplock belt buckle, the zippers are fine. The pair I got were also made in Bangladesh but again happy with TNF overall quality.The material is great! Thicker material compared to others convertible pants made for fishing and wet conditions. Wish I could find a couple more my size at the discontinued sale price I got mine for! I thought about wearing thermals and negative fleece underneath and it would be a tight fit unless the fleece is super thin.
