Mens Hiking Pants Convertible Quick Dry Zip Off Fishing Travel Safari Pants

The pants fit as I wanted them too. The length is a little bit long but I’m short so. Thighs are tighter than I would’ve liked so when I squat down they get snug. I ordered a 34 and I’m 5’8” and 184 pounds. I’ve got plenty of room in the waist. I’m definitely getting a better belt for these and I recommend you do also. Plastic buckle that’ll last about three minutes of doing anything. But overall a descent pair of pants. A little noisy but nothing I can’t live with. Using them as hiking pants so I could care less about the sound. If they were relaxed fit they would be completely awesome or if I had smaller thighs. One of the other but oh well but I do recommend these pants.

I found the sizing (42) to be accurate, though AI suggested I size down one. Glad I bought both to compare, as the smaller size was tighter in the butt. They're light and arrive rolled tiny, ready to pack, with a nice elastic belt.

I like these pants. I'm going to keep them and I've worn a few times already. The fabric is light. There's is some of the "swish" associated with quick dry and rip stop type materials, but not as prominent as other garments I have made from similar materials. They are roomy in the waist, hip, and thigh. The included belt utilizes a clever notch/slot method that you twist a little to attach and release. The belt loops are full size and will accommodate thicker belts. For example, I've been wearing a Blackhawk CQB belt (1.75") for years and it fits the loops on these pants no problem. I don't "convert" these to shorts, but opening the zippers up about an inch provides plenty of ventilation if needed. By and large I think they hit the major points and provide a good value at the current price point. All that said, a couple of issues you may want to think about before making your decision: (1) The pockets are weird. I think other reviews echo this opinion. For something that's supposed to be active wear, all of the pockets are shallow. My phone (Galaxy S9) only fits into THE (as in one) external cargo pocket. You may not carry a phone, but there's a lot items you may need (say a folded up map) that are similar in size and aren't going to stay securely in these pockets either. I also use a compact key holder and a money clip. Despite the small form, I have to put things into specific pockets. If you can get away with carrying a satchel/murse/briefcase/backpack, it may not be a deal breaker for you. If you're travelling light, literally or figuratively, you may want or need to consider other options. (2) The pants are a bit long. This may be to accommodate boots, but if you are wearing anything without a heal the material around the heals drags. There is the ability to cinch up the ankles (at which point managing the elastic cord becomes a thing). I considered not mentioning it, but I have..uhm.."meaty" thighs, which normally results in pants hitting a touch higher at or above the ankle. If you primarily wear these as shorts, pant length is a moot point, if not, the work arounds are built in.

Excellent olightweight pants, protect skin from son and Cool to wear in a high climate.

These pants are my go to when going into work and need to convert to shorts on my way back home because of a hot day. They fit well and the leg openings are large enough to cover up a shoe's backside. They are bit large but I don't mind them, but others may not like them. The unzipping of the legs are easy and work fine. The only complaint I have is that the belt is very cheap and flimsily. It has a plastic parts to the buckle and also to the end part that you wrap around. That particular part has already begun to fail and has pulled away from the fabric a bit. It would've been better to just have a sewn end piece with no plastic and also aluminum belt hoops instead of a plastic belt buckle that may fail at some point as well. Just know that you may need to replace the belt at some point.

I ordered and wore these pants on a canoe/camping trip up at the BWCA in Minnesota. I carried #55 pack and portaged 4 times, set up three campsites and canoed around 14 miles in between. These pants held up great! No torn zipper, crotch or pockets. These pants are very water resistant, light and comfortable to wear, and stretchy. Love the Velcro and zipped pockets to keep items in place. Great pants.

Update Mar 2023: Front zipper broke. Not wearable. Stay away. . . .The pants fit as expected. Material is 100% nylon, could be smoother to the touch. Waist closure is a single sewn-not-riveted plastic button. Maybe that will hold up? Has some pockets. Needs a watch pocket like all jeans. The left thigh cargo pocket is ok, pleated and actually has some depth and capacity. The right thigh pocket is nothing - it is no more than a piece of material sewn to the thigh with a zipper on top. I can barely get my hand in it, and it will hold precious little "cargo." The product description is sloppy and inaccurate: There is exactly one zippered pocket in front, the useless one on the right thigh, not both sides and thighs as claimed (left thigh is velcro); the back pockets are NOT zippered as claimed, they are sewn shut on one corner with a velcro tab in the center, which barely lets you open the pocket, terrible idea. The bottoms of the legs can be removed to convert to shorts, but not over shoes because there is no ankle zipper to open up the hem. Forget the included "belt" and its plastic buckle. You will need a real belt. I am keeping the pants, but it was a close call. These are just lower-to-middle market light nylon pants. Don't expect more and you will not be disappointed. Update: Actually you might be disappointed. The zipper on the right thigh pocket just broke. Down to 2 stars.

Love them !!

This is original Columbia, very superb.

comfortable and strong

Pant material is so rough. The belt which was provided with it, is bigger then the pant's stripes, so it is not going in to those stripes

I tried these pants for the first time on the Camino Trail in Spain so did not know what to expect. I used the pant over 6 days and they were extremely comfortable, flexible and dried easy when one of the days it rained continuously. I will continue to use them for my local walks but also for yard work around the house.
