I love how the pants convert into shorts! Perfect for the areas I hike. You can move easily in these pants.

I began to experience a ring of rash on thighs at zipper with the first wearing on a hike. On examination, the seams on the inside were not tacked down or sealed in any way and contained multiple layers, none of which isolated the zipper from my skin. I'm not sure whether the zipper, the bulk of the seams at the zipper, or the chemical used for UV protection was to blame since this was the primary area rubbing against me, but I cannot wear the pants for long without developing a rash. I have owned North Face's Meridian convertible pants in the past and loved them, so these pants were a huge disappointment.

Purchased for Costa Rica trip. Wore many times in the evening. Comfortable, versatile and practical.

This style of pant is the best of both worlds! Traveling across Europe brought all types of weather. I was able to wear them as pants or zip the legs off and have shorts when I needed them. Easy to wash out and hang for a quick dry, so as to be ready for the next day. Lightweight for packing, but durable for wearing over and over again. Would buy this product again!

These pants had a lot of bulk in the front that made me look bloated. Not well fitting at all.

I really like these pants as they fit really well without adding bulk. They are very comfortable and I really like the convenience that they zip off into shorts. They washed up well after wearing too.
