Mountain Hardwear Cordoba Climb V2 Pants - UPF 50 (For Men)

these are alright, but I wish they had belt loops instead of the built in belt, but I guess that would make them something else. Whatever. good comfartable pants, fit true to size

This is my second pair. The first was my favorite pants until I spilled ink on them and ruined them before they were even washed. When I tried to order another pair, STP no longer had 34 inseams in khaki which is what I usually wear. They were unusually long for 34s (about 1" too long) and I assumed they would shrink up some with washing. I decided to try the 32s since the longer ones had plenty of length. Unfortunately the inseam on those was only 31" so they are about 2" too short. I'm ready for high water.

Sizing fit well unlike some other products i have purchased from here. Material is not as rough as denim but not as smooth as dress pants. Haven't tested durability yet but they seem like they will work great.

These are becoming my favorite pants. Still need to see how well they wash.

To be clear, these pants are really awesome. For me, they just didn't quite fit as well. Had they fit, I would have kept them and worn the heck out of them.

These pants are really tough and comfortable. The material is also really soft and flexible. Though I only wore them around my apartment for about 30 minutes total, on STP, they are worth what you pay for them. Retail, full price, I am not quite sure.

One reviewer said that these won't win any style awards, and that is true, but they will win in all other categories for sure.

My rating of 4/5 stars is solely based on MH's wide range of fitting/sizes. I typically wear a 36x32 or 36x34 depending on a few factors. While the length is ok to very some, the waiste and the butt never quite fit right from pant to pant. The butt fit on these (typically the butt doesn't fit for me) but the waiste was really tight, as in, if they shrink in the wash they won't fit any more, but the 38 waist was too big for the built in belt. I purchased the MH Piero pants (36x32) and the problem was reversed, plenty of waist but tight in the butt. I also own another pair of pants by MH and they are big both in the waist and in the butt (really big).

Lastly, the built in belt put me over the top. I trust MH, and I really like their products, but the built in belt made me feel nervous. If a standard belt breaks, even out on the trail, you still have loops to use a rope or something if you need it. Here, if the belt breaks the pants are no longer useable. For me it would have to depend on the warranty. I know MH has a lifetime warranty, I just don't know if it would cover the built in belt.

Bottom line is, these pants just didn't fit me. If they had been 5% elastane they probably would have been perfect. For someone who is a little thinner (climber for instance) these pants will probably fit fine for them.
