HAHA! That is so true! Everything that I own that has a zipper is has a YKK zipper. From the looks of it, maybe even the zippers on my couch and in my truck are YKK. hehe

i've got soem columbia pants that i like alot. for some reason even some of my nicer, casual day pants (jcrew/polo when it's not jeans) compeltely rip out the crotch. i've constantly going through pants. i don't have problems with blowing out knees or the backs of my pants ever though. i'll have to check out those mountain khakis, but at $80 a pop, i'll have to wait a bit to buy them. i usually buy clothes only when they're on sale.

The alpine has double layers in critical areas like the knees, MMM and heel... That's about it though... And they truly do remind me of my broken in Carharrts...

I bought two pairs of Mtn Khaki's for the 2007 Expedition Trophy. They lasted that trip, before both of them developed two pin holes. I returned them to Orvis where I got them no questions asked.
Since then, they seemed to have gained in popularity quite a bit. Maybe I got a defective set, or maybe they (The holes) were caused by an unscrupulous salesperson with a box cutter...Who knows. I do know that they were very comfortable and the pockets were very easy to get in and out of.
Maybe it's time to give them another shot.
I have also started wearing Sitka Ascent Pants in the Dune Color. I can't say enough of them. They feel great, wear great and offer tremendous movement and comfort.
I like a pant that can take a 200 day season through Alaska.

I just Googled cargo pants, and this was the first hit.

They seem to be very proud of their prices though.
I saw these Orvis Men's 14-Pocket Expedition Poplin Cargo Pants listed there.
Come on, $210 for pants?
I will be looking online this weekend for some good cargos that can be good for work, kicking back on the weekends, and for camping.
Going to look at hats too from the other thread.

I've got two pair of those Orvis cargos in Zambezi Cloth. I like them a lot and wear them about all the time. Mine weren't anywhere near $210. I also have two pair of Redhead cargos made of a lighter fabric that get a lot of use. I used to buy good heavy cotton twill pants with pleats, double slash front pockets and flapped back pockets from Land Rover Gear. I started buying them about ten years ago and they were very well made and very durable. Over the years they got lighter weight and less well made until they disappeared from their products. Imagine that!

Only thing there is no fly, so ya gotta pull the front of the pants down to water the shrubs.
I just wish Columbia was still making the GPS cargos.
I bought three pair for work, leisure, and play.
Wearing a pair as I type.
Very comfortable, but with all clothing, they will wear out.
Columbia does not even offer anything close to these at this time.

I have a black pair of the 5.11 pants from Gall's.
They size them weird.
Ordered up some and I swam in them, had to return them.
Ordered another pair, and they were to small.
The current pair fits, but are rather tight, I need to uh 'er, drop a few to make them comfortable.
They seem awfully tight in the legs though, I like a looser fit.
