Comments about Mountain Hardwear Loafer Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
I travel a lot and sometimes you want a pant that is not jeans, but that is travel-friendly. These pants are somewhat comfortable (explain further below), breathable (good for long flights), the fabric is a good weight (not too thin-only for warm destinations, or not too thick-only for cold destinations), and are stylish.
The one key feature to a travel pant (and I assume an adventuring pant) is secure pockets so nothing falls out. These pants have one nice zip passport pocket on the side of the legs. Enough to secure the real valuables from any of the front pockets. Things will fall or be pickpocked from front pockets, but that's not such a big deal because you can put your front pocket valuables in the zip passport packet. However, the back pockets have no flap, button, or velcro that would secure back pocket items - and the zip passport pocket isn't big enough to secure back pocket items AND front pocket items. That's easily fixable, though, by having the tailor add some velcro closure tabs. A minor inconvenience, but should not be necessary for such expensive pants.
The worst thing about these pants is the long rise. I feel like I'm a guy wearing high-waisted mom jeans from the 80s. And, if you pull them down a little to have the waistband lower than mid-chest, the crotch hanging down by your knees makes you look like a gang member with a large roll of fabric sticking off of your backside. I'm taking them to the tailor to see if they can shorten the rise, but that is much more difficult to accomplish. If it works, I'll love these pants, but they will have cost me an arm and a leg with all of the extra work to make them useful.
So, verdict is - unless you want to take a chance paying even more to the tailor to fix these up, do not buy them unless you are incredibly long-waisted and don't typically carry anything in your back pockets.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Loafer Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
First off, I'll mention that I'm 6'1" and about 165 pounds with a rock climber/mountain biker physique, and the 32/32 size fit great. I've been off my training due to an injury, so I'm a little tubby now, but as I get back into racing shape I'll drop five pounds and be back at a 30" waist. These seem to be a trim enough cut that they won't bunch up when I have to tighten the belt that extra notch. As it is, with my almost 32" waist, these have a very comfortable fit. No pressure when I'm seated, and they don't fall down without a belt while I'm standing. They also dress up quite well. I'm wearing them with a long-sleeve button down shirt and a belt at work today, and I even got compliments while out to lunch. It's typically hard to find clothes that fit me well, so I'm appreciative when I do. I'm even buying another pair in the other color. Currently I have the Shark color, and it's really, really nice.
