Men's Rifugio™ Trek Pant 4.4 5 14 14
Not that trim-fitting I was looking for a pair of "athletic" / "trim" / "slimmer" fit hiking pants and I thought these would do it. The stretch fabric is great and knees above fits well, but knees down they're too loose for my taste. Even if they were to trim-up the lower part of the pants legs you could still wear long underwear under them. May 7, 2013
perfect except for baggy hips These are superb, warm/hot weather hiking pants. The integral, side-pull belt is a unique, useful feature that makes the pants much more comfortable. Bear in mind, these are not what most of us think as "softshell" pants. The material is thin and light. Strong enough to last, but not for cool/cold weather. I wear them in the desert, in summer. One suggestion for MH: These pants are true to size except for a noticeable bag at the hips. This is true of all three pairs I have. It would be easy to tailor these to be more form fitting. They'd look much better and lose no functionality. As it is, I'll have to pay to tailor them myself. April 22, 2013
Everything I expected Great fitting, durable and comfortable. March 24, 2013
Travel pant Comfortable and attractive. My husband got them for a safari and they were perfect for that type of travel, and they will also be his new, improved hiking pant. With 3 lengths to choose from, they are a perfect fit. October 14, 2012
Excellent buy 2 I bought 4 of these pants for a trip with work and they performed perfectly. Out of all of the things that they could have gotten snagged on during the 2.5 mile hike in and out of our dig site they didn't tear. They dried off almost immediately after I stopped digging and repelled rain as well as could be expected. They are perfect pants for what I needed. They out performed several other brands that were present. I have recommended them and the brand to all of the digging team. October 3, 2012
Great climb/trek pant, pockets meh I've had these pants for a few weeks now and I've put them through the paces. Mostly climbing and hiking as well as casual wear. They are very light weight, comfortable, and durable, but the only problem I have is the pockets. They are all zipper pockets(which is rather unnecessary) and there locations are somewhat strange. No back pocket.That aside they are really good pants October 1, 2012
Nice Lightweight Trail Pant Very ligh fabric great for warm weather. True fit. September 19, 2012
Perfect Hiking Pants I just got back from a backpacking trip up to Mount Whitney and these pants performed perfectly! These pants are awesome. I have been searching for pants like these for years and I have finally found the perfect hiking pant. The stretchiness makes them super comfortable to wear all day in any activity. They breath very well and keep you pretty cool but also block wind and help keep you a little warm when the temperature drops. The fit is excellent and these are the first pair of hiking pants I have found that actually look cool to wear. They are more of an athletic fit (not to tight, not to loose) and the ankle opening is big enough to fit over boots. The material seemed to hold up well while hiking in the rugged eastern Sierra Nevada. I definitely recommend these pants...they are well worth the price. September 6, 2012
Great pants, but maybe a quality issue I've had these pants for 5 months now and I love them. They're super lightweight and comfortable, BUT the pocket on the right thigh has came unglued.On the plus side, I called customer service and within a few minutes got a return authorization to have them repaired, so we will see how they hold up.

Excellent hiking/climbing pants I've worn these pants twice now which is not much but does give me a good feel for how they perform. The first time I wore them was bicycling in the rain. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast they dried on me shortly after I came inside. I didn't take them off so they dried very quickly while wearing them.The second time i wore them was on a snow climb in the cascades. We were going up and down some very steep snow and climbing up rock at times. The stretch in the pants is excellent and the pants were very comfortable for the entire day.Now the one thing I think could be improved is the size of the openings for the pockets and the fly. I have small hands and the opening is still a bit tight for me. This is particularly annoying for the fly. Just don't understand why they have to be so small.Overall, i really like the pants and they will become my summer hiking pants when it's not warm enough for shorts. June 27, 2012
Excellent Trekking Pants These are fantastic trekking pants. I spent two weeks traveling around Peru and trekking in the Andes. They are very durable comfortable, and lightweight. They resist stains and dry quickly. Highly recommended. June 4, 2012
Great alternative to jeans My husband wanted some pants that were a good alternative to denim. These pants are exactly what he wanted. Fit good, look great! May 26, 2012
Fav MtHardWear Bottoms so far As an avid MtHardWear user, these are by far my fav pants yet! Very light weight, sturdy, and the 4-way stretch is fantastic! Love them! April 15, 2012
Not What I Expected I was expecting these pants to be much like the Ridgetops and they were in fact nothing alike, I was very sad to see the ridge tops go. The fabric is not very stretchy and is also paper think. It feels like a pair of Mesa's. The side pockets are very shallow. The pants are comfortable but for the material and lack of function, they are not worth the money. March 30, 2012
