I picked up a pair of Ex Officio Vent'r hiking pants. I found them at Goodwill, the Macy's of thrift stores, so I had to pay 7 bucks plus tax. But they are 308 grams of pure bliss. When my hipbelt and pants come in contact I have been known to lose my pants, so the fact they have three ways to stay up (elastic, drawstring and belt loops) makes me happy. Also they have the watch pocket with lanyard inside the front pocket, a zip cargo pocket, one zip and one velcro back pockets.
And I can never remember how long it has been since I posted, so if I had already mentioned a pair of Columbia zip leg Omni Shade pants a couple three weeks ago, please disregard. (also from Goodwill)
