I have some Columbia PFG pants that I used to think were good. A while ago I found some Helly Hanson pants on clearance and I got two pairs at West Marine. Now I never wear the Columbia's. The HH are more fitted, breathable, stretchy soft material(comfortable), and don't make that nylon noise while I peddle or move around. I even wear these when I am not fishing.
I believe they are hiking pants. My suggestion is to get some quality hiking pants from reputable companies. Heck, maybe even Columbia makes some good ones. It's just the PFG ones that I now realize are over prized nylon pants.
