A nice product, but needs improvements.
I am of relatively average size (5'11, 180 pounds) and I love this pant for the comfort and stretch but they desperately need belt loops as the inadequate drawstring will not keep the pants up when carring a day or ski pack and I prefer not to wear suspenders. I would also like to see pockets large enough to put your hands into, and large enough to carry a pocketknife or car keys without having to zip the pockets closed. I also have a pair of the Guide Pant and find them free of the above problems, and would recommend one purchase them instead.
