Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I wore the darker version of these pants 13 out of 14 days on a trip to France. The first week I was in Provence, walking through forests, hill towns, and cities in 95 degree heat in Provence. The pants were cool and comfortable. The second week was in Paris in the 70's and 80's. The pants looked dressier than most of what the other tourists were wearing.
I washed the pants out one night in the hotel sink and they were dry and ready to wear the next morning.

Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I bought these based on the reommendations here and they are great slacks. I just spent 3 weeks in Southern England, Scotland, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. I wore these slacks almost every day, washing them every 5-6 days.
They held up well even on some hikes through the heather and some rocky trails.
The only thing that has me worried is the nylon zipper. I've never had a lot of luck with nylon zippers and this one feels...sort of flimsey. Nothing has gone wrong but the zipper keeps me slightly worried.
Regarless, I'm going to buy another pair and between the two I don't expect to take any other pants except for rainpants and the REI Sahara convertibles on future trips, Thailand next year, I think.

Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I bought these pants for a business trip to Tanzania that would require me to carry a fair amount of local currency around. Given that the exchange at the time was 1300TZS = US$1, things get bulky pretty quickly. I wanted cargo pants, but opted for these as they are more business-like. I didn't have high hopes when I ordered them.
I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the pants seemed to be tailor made for exactly what I need to do with them. The side, cargo pockets are correctly sized for currency and surprisingly low profile. You won't be able to get as much as you can into traditional cargo pants, but neither do these bulge out like chipmunk cheeks. The pockets are tucked into the seams, so the zippers are not obvious. (A huge plus in pick-pocket infested areas...)
There is an additional zippered security pocket in one of the side pockets. It's about the size of a credit card -- perfect for keeping your hotel room card on hand.
All of this and they were very comfortable to travel in, both on the 16 hours of flight time and walking around TZ.
I'm getting another pair.

Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I brought two pairs of these pants on a 12 day European trip and was amazed at them. They did not wrinkle in my suitcase, they looked sylish enough for wherever I was, the fit is comfortable and they breathe so the heat and humidity was never a problem.
Great pants.

Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Great pants and they worked great on a 10 day trip to the black forest. We hiked and visited many small cities. They fit me great and were everything advertised. I used the lower pocket on the seam for my passport. I liked the back pocket zippers to provide security for my wallet.
The three colors offered tend to have a shade or green cast. The color I would buy a second pair of would be charcoal grey.
Loved the pants wish they had just one more color, charcoal grey.

Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
These pants fit great. I am pretty fit and trim so it is a relief to find pants that aren't made with "a little extra room in the rear for the mature man" or whatever the heck it is they do to Dockers and other pants. I don't like tight pants either so these are just about perfect.
I like them so much that I have several pair in different colors. I wear them to work and travelling. I love the material because it feels good, dries out quickly and stays good looking from the suitcase. I have even worn my black pair to nice meetings and restaurants and then gone for a good walk in them afterwards.
When I travel on vacation I take two pair of these, two pair of poly amphibious pants and two pair of ex-officio undershorts (it works!) and I am set. It all packs really thin. Wash things in the evening and dry overnight and good to go with fresh clothes the next day.
I had some zipper problems with one of my first pairs but REI was cool about it. I've also lost a rear button on a couple pair, no biggie, but I probably should have double sewed it when I noticed it unraveling. The black pair gets the wooly boolys and need to be de-linted sometimes.
The side pockets are great for cell phone, pocket knife, map, distributed cash, etc.
I wish they still had the green version and I wish they had a blue color. Why can't I find any decent poly pants in blue? Why always shades of dirt and rock?
okay, enough. Great pants.

Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I love these pants for everyday use. I get hot pretty easily, and these pants are wonderfully breathable. Plus, they're very stain resistant and hold up very well over time. Unlike a previous reviewer, I've found that they're exactly true to size.

Comments about REI Adventures Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
These seem like good enough pants but the sizes are all out of wack. I normally wear between a 34-36 with 36s usually having plenty of room. I first ordered these in a 34 waist with two other pairs of different kinds of pants. I couldn't even get these pants zipped up they seemed about 4 inches too small. While the other brands fit fine. I figured it was a bad set or maybe miss labeled. So I sent them back and got a 36 just to be safe. Those were so tight in the waste I felt like I can't exhale. To be honest I gave up on these and gave them to a buddy that normally wears a 32-34 and they fit him fine. The funny thing was that the waste was the only bad spot everywhere else they fit great.
