I have an older pair of these paints that I’ve been wearing for four years now and they are pretty tough. The front/rear pockets aren’t that tough but the cargo are. I recently ordered two of these paints and I really like them as well as the upgraded left cargo pocket being a zipper now.These pants/shorts would be pretty perfect if not for three out of the four mesh pockets tearing. These are my camping pants, so although I suppose camping is a little harsher wear on them, I don't abuse them. Also, because they're camping pants, I don't wear them all the time, so I was surprised to find that it's been over a year since buying them.Both back mesh pockets have the stitching coming undone. The right one that I normally keep my wallet in had the stitching come undone in it the last time I wore them. Luckily I noticed when my wallet fell right through my pantleg to the floor. So, I switched my wallet to the left side, and after just a couple of hours the stitching on that pocket came undone, too. That was the first time I'd ever used the left back pocket.The right front pocket got a legit hole in it (not just stitching coming undone, but the mesh tearing) the first or second time I wore them. It wasn't quite big enough for anything I keep in it to have ever fallen out, but if I kept smaller items in it then they would definitely be in danger of falling out.I'm kind of amazed at the low quality of the pockets, considering the brand and how great the pants/shorts are otherwise.I love being able to remove the lower legs of the pants for hot days, and put them on for cold days or night around the fire. They're so lightweight that I thought they'd easily get holes in them, but other than the pockets they are holding up well.Since the return window is past, we'll have to try to sew them, but I don't know how well that will work with it being mesh.This is the most comfortable zip ups that I've found yet. I would much preferer there to be flaps on both the thigh pockets (not a zipper on one and flap on the other).The zip off point is a bit high on the leg. It's almost two inches above the knee when standing straight. The length with the legs in place is perfect.These fit pretty good. Still need to wear them a few more times to make sure I really like them.Pants fit great are vary breathable. I work construction and wanted somthing light to wear for hot days these are nice because you can zip the legs open for a little extra ventilation… down side is the zipper broke on one of the legs already. That being said I wasn’t wearing them “the proper way” so all in all great but worth the moneyThese really are the best you can get, although really expensive. I have a pair that is 15 years old, and have worn them often in many situations like amusement parks, or bike rides, and they are almost as good as new. The zippers have never failed, and also the waist, overall has fit the same. I got this new pair to have a different color and a larger size because I've gained a little weight in 15 years. I agree with someone else posting, buy the larger size for you for some extra breathing room. If your a 32, get a 34.These pants are very light, fits perfect and comfortable. Great for hiking or outdoor activities.Very nice fitting pants. However very surprised by the rear pocket having only velcro closure not making these very secure from coming open and exposing wallet to loss or to pick pocket in crowed areas. I'd suggest adding zipper to rear pockets for security.Compré 3 pantalones de éste modelo para mi novio, lamentablemente la calidad no es la esperada. El botón se ve diferente que antes, viene rotulado con la marca pero sin logo, el cinturón ya no lo incluye tampoco ; los cierres se ven de calidad inferior e igualmente vienen sin logo. La parte interna de la cintura no incluye el rótulo característico de la tecnología omni-shade. Adjunto imágenes para que lo puedan apreciar mejor. La tela también se siente de calidad inferior a pantalones del mismo modelo comprados anteriormente. No sé si columbia esté bajando la calidad de sus productos o sea alguna imitación (lo dudo dado que Amazon supuestamente vende solo productos originales). El corte del pantalón y las costuras lucen bien, es por eso que le doy 3 estrellas.Loved the feeling of the fabric, very cool, considering the greek summer temperatures it was exposed to... easy to washa nd dry, in a couple of hours it was ready to wear again "as new". Takes virtually no room in your baggage, folding does not affect it, practical pockets everywhere. Breathable, takes the sweat away. The 32 inseam length was a bit lengthy for me- in levis jeans, a 32 inseam works just fine, in this one, I had to roll the bottom of the pants once or twice depending on the shoe. Overall, you will enjoy this pair of pants, esp. in warm weather, easy to wear and wash every day in your vacation.Great trousers that are very comfortable. Bought for 13 days in the Himalayas as a spare pair. Wore them lots and they are great. Would definitely recommend. Much cheaper than other brands as well but easily the same quality I would say.Perfect for warmer conditions - wouldn't rely on these if walking in below zero tempsI first put them on and was concerned they were a bit tight - I think they are designed to be like this however as they were very comfortable on my 2 day 30 mile hike. Being obsessed with simplicity I was also worried upzipping them into shorts and reattaching them would be a pain - turns out it was easier than anything, would reccomend.No problem with the trousers as such but I'd advise buying a waist size up if in any doubt. These are usually for warm/hot conditions anyway and you'll welcome the extra slack/movement. Zip on/off is easy enough
