I purchased these pants so I could have a relatively lighter weight hiking/trail pant, I find myself wearing them for everyday ventures more often. They are super comfy, have a tough feel, and the stretch material is great for mobility.
I would recommend this product.

Rather Outstanding pant for climbing, just stretchy enough to make those high steps without feeling sloppy, gusset crotch adds to freedom of movement but is probably not necessary. nice to have though. Light but durable, rugged but breathable, i have four pairs for a reason
I would recommend this product.

Have been looking for a replacement for my older REI pants in similar style and finally found them. They do run trim and are not a relaxed fit; size 36 waist runs closer to 35 or 35-1/2 with trim seat and legs. Just the right amount of stretch. Pants have functional pockets with more tailored look, packs well, light weight but durable. Nice to wear to the office. Like these for travel for the same reasons...no bagging, sagging, or wrinkles. Would love lighter colors - Khaki, sand, etc.
I would recommend this product.

These pants do some amazing things I had not expected. First they have a slight stretchiness to them that allows for freedom of movement, very useful when hiking where steps are high. Second, although the fabric is lightweight, it offers great protection from wind. These pants are comfortable, and I am very pleased with the quality. Fit seems a little snug, otherwise a great outdoor pant.

The cool creek pants are a must have! They are so comfortable, lightweight, but durable. They move with your legs, for those high steps on the trail. The fabric has some nice stretch to it, allowing the pants to move with you. The pockets are well placed and larger to allow for storing maps and snacks along the trail. The gusseted crotch is also a nice plus, because it allows freedom of movement. I especially love the inside of the waistband, it's lined with fleece for a smooth fit under a backpacks hip belt. Overall, a great pair of pants for the outdoors.

These pants are Columbia all the way! The material is awsome and a little wierd. The pants stretch and move but look like cotton. They clean up well, dry fast, keep you cooler than regular pants and look quite refined...as refined as outdoor gear can I guess. Only complaint is I wish they were a little longer. They dont make 34 inseam in my waist size so the 32 is just shorter than I am used to. I have all three colors and would buy more if they had them.

Purchased these pants after trying to find a casual pair of black pants. I use these pants for casual wear and at work. Thus far after about two weeks of wear these just feel awesome. I have long legs and these fit perfectly. Going to buy a 2nd pair when 34 length becomes available.

This is a wonderful pant for cool to warm weather rock climbing. The fabric is fairly well crafted and has significantly more stretch in the hip, seat, and thigh than I thought just looking at them and touching the material. I am 6'6" and a 34" x 34" fit quite well. As someone who knows how punishing routes with high feet can be, I can say that any difficulties experienced weren't the result of this pant. Best of all is the price. I've got a pair of climbing pants from Mountain Hardware that are a perhaps a little more durable but cost a lot more and are actually more restrictive when it comes to stretching the legs.
All in all I am pleased with this pant and will probably by another pair in a different color. I'm surprised the product description doesn't mention their utility at the crag.

Read the other reviews and scratched my head with all the talk about wearing these to work, around town, etc. .... this is a stretch fabric performance piece attempted by Columbia with gusseted crotch, reticulated knees, etc ... wore a pair hard climbing Red River Gorge. Not a bad first attempt at creating technical wear at value price. If you want a good light weight back country pant this is a pretty solid value. Decent pant to wear to your climbing gym when you want to go out for a couple beers after as well. Also a great wrinkle resistant travel pant, because it takes a beating, is very light, and very fast drying. But for wearing to the office for smart casual .... get a life.

The Cool Creek pants have everything: pockets, nice length in the crotch (keeps us taller guys from getting crotchety) THEY STAY UP - probably due to a very well made, thick waist band and the fact that they fit OVER the hips (see crotch length). They dry in a flash, the zippers all work. They are nice enough to wear to work (I do) and still are tough enough for outdoor shennanigans. So, what's not to like? I bought on pair at the store, liked 'em, ordered two more online, went back to the store and bought another pair. Where have these been all my life? Somebody at Columbia finally "gets" what guys like. Pay them a lot of money. This is an honest, hard-working pair of pants. My jeans are dead and buried as of today!

I just purchased these pants for a trip overseas and they look and feel great. Lightweight, nice crease and good seam lines and they have a bit of stretch that helps them fit nicely without being tight. I am going to buy any other color of this pant if I can just because they feel so good. I hate shopping so when I find something that is good, I stock up!

Awesome pants, I wear a 34 waist purchased the 36 due to 34 out of stock and they fit a bit loose, I think the 34's would have been to small.

Using these pants for everyday use in MN. The mesh front pockets are great for venting of the tops of the legs. The articulated knees are wonderful for daily use. Love the lenght, true to a 32.

I think they're great-- the stretch of the material makes them perfect for any task. You don't feel hindered in any way, which is good for anyone active. But, you can still be inactive and quite comfortable. These are great pants for the office; the design has a sharp look to it, and could be a great go-to pair of pants for a casual workplace!
