Comments about REI Thetford Cargo Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
In concept, I love these pants. Love the look, material and construction. I'm pretty average in size - 5'9" and 155 lbs. The rise wasn't adjusted to fit a 30" inseam (I suspect that the rise is the same as for the 32" and 34" inseam pants). As a result, if you jack them up so they fit correctly in the crotch the pants are way too short (not to mention that the waist is unnaturally high). If you wear them as they naturally fall, the leg break isn't comfortable for hiking (I haven't tried them backpacking yet). They're a bit too baggy in the seat/thighs to use as casual pants around town in my opinion so they fall into no-mans land for me. I'd still recommend them to friends (but tell them to try them on in the store before purchasing).
Service and delivery comments:
Prompt delivery as usual for REI.

Finally a Cargo pant that has secure pockets (Beware of Pick Pockets and Loose Women), and where you need them. And no Hook and Loop wear out; it is much easier to replace a button then hook and loop.
Now REI, you just need some different colors (Dark Khaki, Khaki, etc.)!

Comments about REI Thetford Cargo Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
This comment is mainly about the fit. Unlike others here, I think these pants fit great. You will love them if you are long waisted or just like some room in the crotch, butt,and legs.
Also, as others have said, the pants have a lot of big, secure pockets and are built of very tough material.

Comments about REI Thetford Cargo Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I agree with another reviewer. The crotch/rise on a 32X30 is way to long and the 32" waist is actually more like a 33"/34". I ended up returning the pants. I tried a 30X30 which fit perfect in the crotch/rise and the length was spot on but the waist was just a tad too snug. REI needs to make this pant in odd sizes and shorten up the crotch/rise accordingly for all sizes.
I like everything about this pant except for the sizing issues. I need cargo capacity and these pants fit the bill perfectly but unfortunately I am a tweener.. Not a 32" nor a 30". I normally wear a 32"X30 in every kind of pant with very few issues.
Anyway, I would recommend the pants but make sure you can live with the odd sizing issues.

Comments about REI Thetford Cargo Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I really like the cotton + nylon blend for hiking pants. Nylon alone is too thin and flimsy feeling, and cotton alone is too heavy and slow to dry. The cotton/nylon blend gives you the best of both worlds.
These pants are well-designed and well-made and have lots of pockets. They seem slightly big though, I usually can't fit into 32x30 (I wear 33x30), but I can fit in these. Like another reviewer said, REI needs to offer more colors!! The olive green color is fine for outdoors, but they would look somewhat out of place elsewhere. A khaki color would be great, a gray color would be great too.
