Chris,

Would it be possible to insert a draw-string like scrub pants have?  If there is any kind of "tube" of fabric folded over at the waist band, it should be possible.  Very easy to do.  You can buy the fabric (meshy like, 1/2 inch or so wide) easy enough.  Then just feed it thru the "tube" using a safety pin clamped on one end until it is fed all the way thru.  Cut two small openings in the front of the "tube" in the waist band and let one end exit out each opening.  Then just tie.  (With scrubs, the two ends are crossed over in the front like an "X" under the two openings, thereby making an automatic "draw" on the pants and "belt" when you pull on it).

and very uncomfortable to me.  The problem of one layer of pants falling 
down.  While hiking out on my last adventure and wearing 4 layers on the 
bottom I had to continually hitch up my pants, sometimes stopping to do 
so every hundred yards or so.  I discovered the culpret today.  My brand 
new REI midweight fleece which were between the polypro and cargo pants, 
all covered by Frog Toggs.  Well, today I wore the fleece alone and had 
the same problem with them.  I like the pants but do not like them 
sliding down.  Any one know of a fix short of another belt or 
suspenders?  They fit well and the waist is comfortable, but I'm 55 
years old.  I am not acustomed to wearing my pants around my...well... 
several inches below my waist... as seems to be the fashon today.   
Thanks  C
