Pros: Quick-dry; Lightweight; Breathable, a comfortable waistband
Like the many pairs of Mountain Hardwear capris that I own, these have a felt lining around the waist, making them super comfortable. I even wear them to bed in my sleeping bag. There is also a lining in the crotch, which helps prevent chafing on long hikes.
The nylon material seemed to repel moisture and did well to keep the skeeters at bay. The built-in belt is great in that it has a 'flat' design to fit under a backpack strap, is easy to adjust and secure.
There is a small open pocket on one side, great for quickly stashing a camera or some Clif bars, plus the hidden zippered pocket is good for keys/valuables.
My old nylon hiking pants were too short, these are just about right...I'm 5'9" so I might have sprung for the 34" inseams had it been an option. These are long enough to tuck into my socks to keep the bugs off, so that's what matters.
