Ebay deal of 25% off Anaconda storewide submitted by nocure: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/219923.
Only reason to go through ebay is if you have the $50 or $100 voucher, unlike the expired ebay 20% off which doesn't stack with the voucher. If using $100 voucher, still need to spend more than $10 on something else to make the most of it. Probably won't work, but don't forget to use cash rewards. Otherwise heading to a store saves on delivery fee.
Seems a reasonable price on the hiking pants.

review of the old version:
http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Hiking-Pants-Reviews/North-Fac…
Own 2 pairs of these and have done several hundred km's of hiking in them.
Would probably not recommend them if you are a relatively fast/warm walker.
They also tend to pill quite heavily around areas of friction (legs, ankles etc).
Lastly, any DWR coating on them is absolutely pitiful, less than 15 minutes in a light drizzle up around Mt. Townsend and they were soaking through.
Use Zions now, the comfort/weight difference is remarkable for pants that are a little harder to find but basically the same price and definitely more comfortable.
