Ranked #13 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants

As suggested by others, the north face seems to have changed these pants for the worse!
I have about 5 older pairs of these that are the same size as the two additional pair I just purchased and these new ones don't fit me well. I may need to go from M-reg to L-short because these just don't seem to fit as well.
I was planning to buy these pants until end of time but it's time to shop around. The north face moved these from the Phillipines to Bangladesh and they are not the same as they used to be. Lower zipper quality in the legs from what I can tell as well. I wonder what the profit margin is on a $65 pant made in the Phillipines vs. on made in Bangladesh????

Have the same problem, maybe The NorthFace will check quality of who they use to make their products.
