Could be better.

Ranked #38 - Men's Pants
January 30, 2007
The conduit laminate seems to breathe very well, and the fabric has a good feel - flexible, lightweight, yet durable. Also, the non-elastic waist is a nice feature. But, the cut of the pants is too short for me, and the waist is large for the size. Also, the crampon patch at the ankle is very stiff, fitting poorly under gaiters. The crotch is not gusseted and the knees are not articulated. I'm not sure what Mountain Hardwear had in mind when they designed these pants, but they are better suited for wearing to the mall than to the mountains.
