I like Columbia clothing a lot. I especially like Roc pants and shorts (these are my sixth pair overall). They fit great, wear very well, look good even after a long day, and are very comfortable and breathable. The snap fastener at the waistband is another plus.

The one nit-pick I have about the current generation of Roc pants and shorts is the belt loops. Original Roc shorts and pants had eight belt loops, three per side and a double-loop at the center of the back. They stayed up and fit properly no matter what I did in them. These new Roc shorts have only five belt loops, two on each side and only one in the back. That's not adequate for a pair of active wear shorts and the waistband keeps bunching below my belt after just a couple times bending or sitting. A $60 pair of shorts should have enough belt loops, spaced properly, to hold the pants up properly and keep them looking good. Columbia missed the mark on this attempt to save a buck in manufacturing!
