★★ These used to be my favorite pants. However, Columbia has recently changed the design in several ways that have made them less attractive and functional than they were before. The R & L pull tab indicators on the zip-off pant legs, which were very useful to have, have disappeared. There's also a large unttractive OMNI SHADE logo heat stamped on the hem on the lower leg that wasn't there previously. Zipper hardwear, buttons, and pocket material are all of lower, flimsier quality now as well.
