        Comments about Columbia Cool Creek Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:

        I bought 2 pair, both same color and they are only used for hiking. The weight of the pants are light, I use the pocket only for my knife and has zip pocket were I put my key not keys for my truck. I feel the back pockets are useless and the pants are not hot, I did sweet a little around my backside, but it was after 5 miles. I did buy a size larger because I like to layer, this gives me room for long underwear and can slip my rain pants over them easily. The water does bead off the pants. I did have to change belts, I found a thin belt doesn't work well with these pants

          Comments about Columbia Cool Creek Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:

          These pants are very comfortable when wearing about town and when traveling. The slight stretch of the fabric makes them comfortable for sitting, even on airplanes. Despite the stretch fabric, they are breathable and never hot or clammy. After I bought my first pair, I was so impressed that I picked up a second pair just to make sure I'd have an extra if they were discontinued. The small zippered side pocket on the leg is convenient but is unobtrusive (not like a cargo pant pocket). Jesus wore them. You should, too.

            Comments about Columbia Cool Creek Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:

            SHORT: OK pant overall but a bit *cheap* No additional pockets and my wallet sits uncomfortably in the back pocket due to the mesh lining of the pockets. I would not buy again and will be retiring them. 2 Stars.

            LONG: Recently went on a 3 week long hiking/travel trip around NZ. All pants were used for both long day hiking (e.g Tongariro Alpine Crossing- 19.4K) and casual wear, but no overnight camping.

            I purchased 5 different pairs of technical pants from REI. This is a comparison review because I always find those the most helpful.

            Arc'teryx Perimeter Pants - Men's 32" Inseam
            Fantastic lightweight pants. This was the only one that I purchased in a different color when I returned because they are so well made and light. Very well fitting and a joy to wear. I wear them at work all the time. 5 Stars (will be purchasing the last color as well)

            Columbia Cool Creek Pants - Men's 32" Inseam
            OK pant overall but a bit *cheap* No additional pockets and my wallet sits uncomfortably in the back pocket due to the mesh lining of the pockets. I would not buy again and will be retiring them. 2 Stars.

            Mountain Hardwear Matterhorn Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam
            I really wanted to like these pants. On top of realizing I don't really use convertible pants since I like to hike with full coverage, these pants weigh considerably more than the rest. Fit is ok at best and you can't really use them as casual wear. One step up from Columbia (which owns the brand). They will be retired. 3 stars.

            Marmot Scree Pants - Men's Regular
            An oddly likable pant. The zippered ankles create a thinner leg line and help keep the pants in place. Very stretchy material makes for a super comfortable fit. Zippered pockets and additional zippered cargo are very good though the main pocket angle could be better. Lighter than Mountain Hardwear but heavier than Arc'teryx. My fave after the Arc'teryx. 4 Stars.

            prAna Stretch Zion Pants - Men's 32" Inseam
            A really great pant, but the color, fit and use is duplicated by the Arc'teryx. The cargo pocket is low left and has two zippers for entry (top and side) and I feel is bit too low. Nice light weight probably a shy more than the Arc'teryx. Would probably note buy again due to duplication but like them but will retire. 4 stars.
