Yeah my money is on MD's becoming the Anaconda house brand.

As an Alliance Club member, we wanted you to be the first to know Mountain Designs is back.

Used to fit 2XL MD and now looks like even 3XL is too small.

It takes a while to find a fit for your body shape so stock up with a few pairs to avoid the disappointment for when they change their pattern or discontinue the line. For me I found the Kathmandu Barga pants were the best fit but only bought if on special as I refuse to pay Kathmandu's ridiculous markups and they have now become a scarce item. I have now got a couple of pairs of Gondwana brand pants from Anaconda which seem to have a similar fit and slightly heavier nylon fabric. I always buy a couple of pairs of zip offs so when I travel I can carry two pairs of the shorts with only a single pair of the legs - saves about 100g.

The two Mountain Designs styles I liked best (Cooloola and Bellarine) both have 6 pockets - and most of them are actually a usable size. They come with webbing belts, roll up legs and a fair amount of stretch in the fabric.
The best thing is that the fit is ‘classic’ not tight! And even better, there’s a gusseted crutch as well as the usual articulated knees.
Oh, and they’re quick dry, moisture wicking and 40/50 upf!
