I've marked these down due to the poor waistband design.

I've just come back from a climbing weekend in Snowdon, north Wales (UK).

Whenever the going got tough, these pants began to slide down my backside and show off my underpants. Not only irritating as I was constantly hutching the pants back up, but quite embarrassing too!

In my opinion the waist needs a bungy style chord, not the non stretchy shoelace they come with.

Not much to dislike about these pants - except for me: the fit.

Other than that, these are excellent climbing/hiking pants.

Materials are top-notch. They are made of a lighter weight stretch nylon. Note, Patagonia offers a similar pant with a heavier weight of stretch nylon called the 'Guide Pant' that is geared more towards winter activities (ice climbing/skiing).
