Columbia Men's Tech Trail Utility Pants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really prefer the extra side utility pockets with top opening instead of side opening. I would prefer the zipper or velcro opening more than the flap - flap gets in the way and doesn't always lay down flat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought these pants and I love them…however, I wish they had 2 key features, 1, sun protection and 2, elastic cords at the ankle to tighten them in order to keep dirt, debris and bugs out. Really great pants, nearly perfect. Note, the rear belt loop is a little snug for a standard belt to fit through, and would love these in a coyote brown color and grey.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I believe that rear belt loop on these models have a factory flaw. When the Columbia tag was sewn in this model they sewed across the belt loop making it too narrow for a normal belt. I took a pair back to exchange only to find the same in all this product. Great pants otherwise.

I am a longtime fan of Columbia's Tech Trail hiking pants line... I have both the original style and the Tech Trail II in both the pants and the shorts, and in, literally, every colour they have produced over the past five years! THIS IS NOT THAT TECH TRAIL! I am so disappointed. The redesign is... baffling. These are no longer hiking pants. There is zero give to the heavy nylon-type material, and no flex at all in the waist, seat or any other area that generally needs to flex when you are hiking! Soooo disappointed. Immediate return.
