Ok, I love your pants. I wear them at work (SAR on glacier at elevation) and for play (BC skiing and climbing). If it’s not broke, why fix it?? You all got rid of the belt loops AND replaced the internal belt with a crappy, limited range clip system. Over the course of month long expeditions, not only do I lose weight, but the pants stretch out. It’s a little embarrassing to fly back to town with your pants around your ankles and now there’s no solution if the internal belt clip system can’t go small enough. Real bummed. I’m sure this was a “solution” to a belt being too bulky under a harness but this is not it. The belt loops you had before were super low profile and fit the best backcountry belts ever (Arcade). Anyway, excited to share some pics from Denali base camp next year with my pants falling off at the end of a month long stint. Ugh
