Good Construction, Bad Design
By Matt from St. Louis on 8/26/2007
Waist:
Feels true to size
Length:
Feels too short
Pros:
Breathable, High-Quality Material and Stitching, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Camping, Cold Weather, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Three major flaws:
1. The shorts are too short! Why is this always true for convertibles?
2. Pocket design is terrible. The front pockets take up the entire front of the pant. It is nice to have large front pockets, but with the cargo pockets overlapping them exactly, the cargo pockets may as well not exist. Why would I want the contents of pockets overlapping?
3. The belt design is extremely bulky.
