Like ROC pants but better
I've loved the Columbia ROC Pants and Shorts for years, particularly for the side leg pocket which fits a thin cell phone. The Lander Pants and Shorts are similar to ROC, but the side leg pocket is over the side seam instead of behind it. This means I don't sit on my cell phone like I used to with the ROC pants, and the pocket is now wide enough to fit a larger cell phone. Brilliant! I give both the pants and shorts plenty of abuse and they last me several seasons. I end up buying the pants with a 1 inch bigger waist then the shorts to get them to fit right, but maybe I just put on a little extra weight in the winter. :)

Columbia Lander pant
I have three pair of these pants and really love them. Extremely comfortable to wear all day in the woods or city. I don't wear them in the summer, little heavy and mainly here in Georgia I wear shorts from May-October. I am 5'11" tall and weigh 166 lbs and wear size 34 waist 34 length. after the first was/dry they fit me better then right out of the package. I think they tend to run a little loose, size 32 waist does not leave me much room to tuck a heavier weight shirt in-too snug. Like my pants a little loose and not binding anywhere.

My husband loves the Lander Shorts so we decided to try the Lander Pants this time around. The rise seems to be a bit less than the shorts, but they still work- and, hopefully, like the shorts, they'll last forever!

columbia lander pants are very confortable and durable, I bought my pear to wear during an upcoming trip to Europe. These pants are great to travel in.

Most comfortable pants I own. Great substitute for jeans. Would highly recommend to anyone. Altrec delivered quickly and at a better price than local shops.
