I own two pairs and have brought them with me on numerous treks through New Zealand, Alaska and Norway. These pants are very light, very durable, and dry fast. They have a slim fit which I like as the bottom of the pant tapers in so you don't have a lot of fabric flying around while hiking. I also love that they don't have a waistband; I specifically wanted a pant without a waistband as I find them uncomfortable. I am 5'11" and usually a 32/32; the 32 fits perfectly. The shorts stop just above the knee, an ideal length for my height. I wish the side pockets were a little deeper as change sometimes falls out while sitting, but the small, discrete zippered pocket works well. Highly recommended. FYI they do not stretch.
