Avid Adventurer

Comments:
Comfortable pants, and roomy, but I don't feel they are too big for their stated size. Zip-off legs seem to work fine, although the zipper is very small. I don't have long term experience with zip-off pants, so I don't know if that feature will work as well with repeated use. I like these pants very much.

My Favorite Convertible Pants

Comments:
These are awesome pants. They look and feel great. I'm a strict rater and the only reason I didn't give 'em 5 stars is that for backpacking I prefer deeper pockets and the velcro pocket fasteners are small but these are great for all other purposes. I am tall and thin and ordered 36" waist when i normally wear a 34-35 so go up a little on the size. These are probably not for you if you are at all stocky. I bought a pair of these in a different color a few weeks ago and just had to have a second pair.

I love these pants! They are worth the $5 extra over the Challenger. Just wish they came in more colors for variety. How many pairs of Sage and Taupe pants should one have?

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I'm 6'1", 165-170 lbs. and have a slender frame. My waist varies between 34" & 35" depending on how much beer I quaff between hikes. I ordered a 36" waist size based on reviewer's comments and they fit me perfectly and are very comfortable. I hate sissy short zip offs but these are perfect at knee length. They look great and I have had lots of compliments. While these would not be my first choice for backpacking due to the medium size pockets and small velcro closures, they are great for day hiking and casual wear. I would not recommend these for anyone with a stocky build or thick thighs. I will buy a second pair in another color if they're still available.

I've still got my first 2 pair of these pants from about 10 years ago. They've been to the BWCA, Ireland, Pacific NW, Colorado, Black Hills, dinner & a movie. Comfortable, durable and look great anywhere. My older ones are now just used for construction & painting projects.

Bought pairs for my son and I for High Sierra backpacking trip. Easy to remove zipoff legs over boots. Tough fabric. The available light color does show dirt very readily...would prefer darker color.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I was looking for a quick drying comfortable hiking pant. I don't like the looks of the zip-off legs pants, but decided to give it a try. This is a great model as I don't have the usual zipper fight to get the leggings back on and the ankle zipper allows me to don/doff without removing my boots. The leggings easily fit in the cargo pockets. Fabric is soft but tough. I don't really like the hems against my thighs, but don't really focus it on it while hiking. The velcro on pockets are small and concern me, but I haven't had problems with stuff falling out. I really like the zippered front right second pocket to secure my driver's license

Pants inseam labeled incorrectly
By Walker1103Verified Reviewer from San Francisco, CA on 08/10/2009
Pros:
Ankle zippers, Comfortable, High-Quality Material and Stitching, Lightweight
Cons:
Inseam labeled wrong
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual Adventurer
Length:
Feels too long
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Inseam advertised as 32", but actual measurement was 34". Rather than return then, however, I'm paying my tailor to shorten them to the correct length (I bought 3 pairs in two separate orders). Not cheap to do, since the ankle zippers have to be moved. However, I like all the other features of the pants, so I'm biting the bullet. After fixing them, the cost will come out to slightly more than original retail price for them.

I like to travel and packing shorts and pants takes up space. These are a 2 for 1. The comfort and styke are great.
