Good pants for hiking and camping or, in my case, river rafting.

The pants are a nice loose (but not overly baggy) fit, which combined with the nylon-ish material means even in the  desert sun they don't feel too hot.  And if they do, you can convert them to shorts.  The material also is relatively water resistant and definitely quick drying, which made them great for river rafting.

When my group left the river several times to do hikes through vegetation and such, I actually didn't remove the bottom parts as these pants provided good protection against thorns and other plants without feeling hot at all (despite the hot sun).

These are a great set of outdoorsy pants for hikes, camping, rafting, etc.  Good pockets too.  The waist has a built in belt - I am usually a size 33 and since these only come in even sizes, I ordered a size 34.  I had no problem at all - I probably didn't need the belt, but it allowed me to tighten them a bit further so they felt like a 33.
