Comfortable and Utilitarian
I am 6' 1" tall and weigh 170 pounds. I bought medium size and they fit me perfectly. The pants are very lightweight. The Mountain Hardware inside lined waist is a nice touch and makes the pants very comfortable to wear. I have not had them long enough to judge durability. Overall am happy with this purchase and will buy additional pairs when needed.

Another Winner
I haven't worn these on the trail yet but they're nicely detailed, typical of MHW clothing lines (articulated knees, built-in belt, etc). My long-time favorite for general travel is still the Canyon pants for its utility, comfort and clean lines but this pair would definitely serve better for backpacking with its waist area lined with micro-Chammy and cargo pockets placed to accommodate pack belts. Made from the same Canyon cloth, it's quick drying and also suitable for hot climates. As far as durability, they probably won't match the old Pack pants and its heavier fabric; but I also have Canyon pants that are more than 5 years old. I expect these to perform similarly.

Great Fit
These pants are quality, did not stretch out, and stayed in place during hiking with a backpack. The fit is true to size and the waist band is soft, comfortable, and does not rub. I also liked the slim pockets on the new model of the Mesa pant, in contrast to baggy pockets in previous models.

Thumbs Up!
The mesa pants are exactly what I hoped they would be - comfortable, breathable and good looking. I have not used them for rugged hiking yet, although they have been good companions on urban exploration. The black color is about perfect for outdoor use as we as for casual wear. The only thing that stopped me from giving them a a five star rating is the top of the fly to the waist band (belt area) is a little funky, like the zipper should go a little higher or something. That being said, I would buy again and just might buy a 2nd pair in black because it is hard to find great outdoor pants/shorts in black and these are good.

Comfortable pants
Love these pants. Comfortable an light weight, excellent for warmer environments. My only gripe is the belt. I wish it was a little bit thicker and wider - it's already "rolled" in the waist. It's not uncomfortable; I just think it could be better.
