 Will not purchase another pairJul 12, 2011
By Nielsendc
Been wearing these pants for over two years now and have not been very impressed. I love the lightweight material and the fact that these are convertible, but the cargo pockets are flimsy and the Velcro has worn out to the point where any heavier items, like a leatherman, will make the pockets impossible to close. I've lost a good multitool and a zippo out of these pockets. The built-in belt is comfortable with a backpack, but it will not stay tightened and it makes it impossible to hang tools off a belt. I tore the seam in the seat while rock climbing and the seam in the crotch is starting to go. If you need a comfortable, light duty pant for backpacking or traveling, buy these. If you are looking for something to climb, trek, bushwack, or work in, keep looking.

 Great pants wish they would improve pocketsAug 02, 2011
By Don E. Beeler
"dbeeler"
i own about 5 pair of these pants they are fantastic. they fit great and last. I am currently using them when i am clearing trees from about 1 acre.
the only negatives are the velcro pockets dont really prevent things from falling out, and the built in belt often gets spun around in dryer and takes a few minutes to straighten out.
but i am buying 2 more pair today.

Great pants. Good fit, Good pockets, adjustable cuffs. Only minus is sown in belt twist inside of the pants kind of a pain to undo and unable to attach belt leatherman.
My findings over a yearApr 20, 2012
By RD Browning
Short and Sweet
I have had these for over a year now and wear them at least once a week. There is a design flaw in the pocket which I hope will be fixed soon. When I sit on anything that places my knees higher than my rear things begin to fall out of the pockets. This includes car seats, couches, and recliners. Other than that, love them.
Expanded
I purchased these one year ago along with a similar pair of Columbia Silver Ridge II convertible pants which I will be using for comparison. I find myself wearing the Mesa pants much more because of a few key features which I will point out in a moment. First let me lay down my general impressions. They are very comfortable. They have a waist lining which by the manufacturers description is chamois lined and it is very nice indeed. The fabric has held up just fine to regular one to two time a week wear. I have also taken these on several weeks of travel and backpacking. They are light weight (a little heavier than the Columbia), quick drying, and durable enough not to worry about if they are going to snag on a branch. Finally, I just plain like how they look on me.
What I Like
The Mesa pants feature that I like the most is in the waist band. Not the chamois portion, though nice, more specifically it is the belt. The nylon belt is integrated into the pants much like a drawstring, completely enclosed by fabric. On the Silver Ridge the nylon belt goes through loops which sometimes ride up and begin to chafe my sides. Also, the belt being enclosed means that when I wash it, it stays in place unlike the Ridge II pants which comes out, ties itself into knots and then requires rethreading of the belt after each wash (trust me it gets annoying). The best part of the Mesa belt is that it actually works. I find that with the Ridge II pants the belt requires repeated tightening throughout the day. I have finally started tying a knot in the belt so that I would not need to do this. With the Mesa pants I have never needed to do this. Even when I go to the range and have a pistol on my hip for hours at a time I rarely need to adjust the belt on the Mesa pants.
What I Don't Like
What I hate, and yes there is something that I hate about these pants, is that they are some of the worst pants that I have ever owned for keeping things in the pockets. Now I did buy these on a discount clothing site, perhaps they have updated the design but I nearly stopped wearing these pants because of the pockets. If you have anything that will not grab the netting which the pockets are made of (keys stay put thank goodness) such as lighters, pens, small flashlights, you had better do a quick check of your pockets after getting up from a couch, car, and every time from a recliner. Basically, if your knees go above your rear, your pockets are going to start vomiting out your goodies.
Rating
I give these pants a three star rating because of the poorly designed pockets. All the other features about the Mesa pants are great, so much so that I still where them more than anything else but the pockets suck. For what it is worth, if the pockets were redesigned I would rate these a high four.
Bottom line
I would buy these again because I just plane like them and they work for me. Great belt, bad pockets, fix this MH!

Convertible pantsDec 28, 2010
By John R. Koch
I received the pants in a reasonable time frame. My son was very happy to receive them for Christmas. I would do business with this company again.
