Mountain Hardwear Mesa Pant - Men's
Dang good light hiking pants

I found the sizing a bit weird and doesn't match up to the sizing chart that well. I've got a 32 waist and 34 inseam which the sizing chart indicates is in the range of a medium-long, but I found the large-regular to fit in length better. The integral belt makes the difference in the waist much less of an issue, so a plus there.
The cargo pockets are a nice feature you don't see often enough on nylon hiking pants. The drawcord around the ankles is sewn into a clever little pocket on the inside of the outer leg seam, keeping them out of view and out of the way when I'm putting them on.
Great range of motion and attention to detail I've come to expect from Mountain Hardware. Bonus: the MH logo is only in two spots and fairly subdued. I appreciate not being turned into a walking ad.
