SOLID, VERSITLE PANT

By Jonathan Ranked #87 - Men's Softshell Pants November 25, 2011

I needed a versatile hiking/ backpacking pant that would carry me througout a variety of conditions, especially wet/ wintery California high country terrain...this pant has definitely lived up to it's reputation. I am 6'2, 205lbs and normally wear a 34/34 in jeans or pants...the LG fit me fine, although I found it to be more of a "skinny jean" feel/ fit, but not uncomfortable because of the elasticity. I might be inclined to complain about the thigh zip pocket which can't hold anything other than a credit card comfortably, but that's not what these pants should be used for...
The pant cuff has a nice hook for locking the cuff into your boot of choice and the velcro waist adjusters almost eliminate the need for a belt...although suspender adapters (or suspenders included) would be a huge plus! They are both wind and water resistant
Bottom line: Well worth the $$ and a solid all weather hiking/ backpacking pant that has great durability and looks sharp.
