Description of Mountain Hardwear Canyon Pant - Men's:
In canyons, dry paths aren't necessarily the only thing you have to travel on. The Mountain Hardwear Canyon Pant is equally happy slogging through water, sliding down sandstone and just plain walking. Mesh drain panels in the pockets make sure you aren't taking any of the water with you, while the gusseted crotch and articulated knees maximize your freedom of movement. Canyon Cloth wicks moisture away from your skin, so if you manage to stay dry for a while you won't drown in sweat.
Bottom Line: Get through the water in the Mountain Hardwear Canyon Pants.
I have been hiking and rock climbing in these pants several times. They allow total freedom of movement and are very lightweight. Somehow they still manage to be warm in the cold and cool in the heat. The hidden drawcord feature at the ankle is really cool/ handy. If you are a 32h32w in waist you will want to get the M instead of the L. I got the large and they're too long/ big in the waist. The Canyon is still my favorite pant though!
From the picture it seemed like this was going to be a nice, straight-fit pair of hiking pants. Unfortunately, when I received the product it was very baggy (more of a relaxed fit) and very wrinkly. I wasn't able to test it out in the field, but I would have preferred a tighter fit. However, I liked the belt loop of the pants - it seemed sturdy and was very convenient.

Not the pants I was looking for - but still mostly ok 11-01-07
I was really looking for a line of pants made by Mtn Hardwear that is like heavy canvas. These are made like a thin parachute. BUT- they still performed pretty well and looked pretty good, and I expect I will keep them. I'm still looking for the others though...
