Columbia Men's Silver Ridge Convertible Pants

I don’t understand all the negativity concerning these pants. They are terrific! The fact that they include a removable belt (that is HUGE for a hiking pant) and zip off at the knee are two of their best features! There are pockets-a-plenty for all of your hiking ”stuff.” The material is lightweight, but protective at the same time. If they get wet, they dry quickly. The pants can be worn on the hiking trail, to the golf course, volunteering at your school’s carnival…you name it!! And they come in numerous colors so your wardrobe doesn’t get boring! If there is any knock on these pants, it would have to be the back pockets. They were designed with breathability in mind, but the mesh fabric on the inside has come undone on my husband‘s first pair. It was super simple to take a needle and thread and close up the small holes. So now I guess I understand the negativity of the reviews… Lol! I shouldn’t have to sew up the back pockets. I still think these pants are a win!

I'm a long distance thru- hiker. My weight fluctuates as I lose 20 pounds during the months on the trail and slowly gain it back before starting in these pants again. Sewn on buttons did not cut it for me. Even though mine pop when I gain weight during my off months, I prefer knowing that I have a waist button that is reliable. These deliver. Overall these pants are better constructed than the others that I have tried, and they are equally light.. Another key feature is that there is a zippered pocket on the left leg. I need to know that there is one zippered pocket. If you have extremely muscled thighs, these could be tight, but for me they work and I have average to big thighs- 5'10' 200lb as I set out. I. order the 34 waist The belt is cheap but it is fine for me and light weight. But the waist does seem to have a little give of it's own but not much. What tends to happen for me is that they are on tight side at the waist and even the thighs starting out, but after a few weeks on the trail the fit is perfect and by the second or third month, the belt is actually being used as an aide to keep them tight Bottom line they are true to size in my case..The possible drawback in construction for some, may be that there is no velcro around the ankle. In other words, you will need to take off your hiking boots while converting them into shorts or vice-versa. This is minor for me. Breaks are usually welcomed. I also like to wear them a lot when I'm not hiking. These pants are good for everyday use as well. They look good too esp. the dark colors. Highly recommended.

First, many thanks to the reviewer who suggested buying these a size up if you'll be wearing these for active pursuits. I did just that and the extra roominess was exactly perfect for hiking a portion of the AT. These pants are very light, and as such very comfortable. I didn't have any issues with durability, although I will say the belt that comes with the pants is rubbish. Do yourself a favor and replace the belt with the 5.11 TDU 1.5-Inch Belt. The combination is superb. My only real nit with these pants is the zipper design, on both the pant legs and the fly. They are fine-toothed zippers, meaning they will likely not hold up under serious outdoor activity. So if you're looking to wear these on anything but casual hikes (even intermediate I'd be careful), know that the zippers may cause you trouble down the line. I will say that I had to go across a stream and took a wrong step which resulted in a very wet leg. Within 30 minutes the pant leg was quite dry. So when people are saying these are fast-drying pants, they are not exaggerating. Quick note - I ordered the gravel color. The color is hard to make out on the photo. It's not as olive drab as it looks, but rather olive with a healthy amount of gray cast to it. Think very dark olive khaki, darker than, say, Boy Scout uniform pants. It is a very outdoorsy color. I'm very happy with these pants. They are versatile and work well!

First of all, the shipping was extremely fast. I placed the order on Friday night around 11 PM, and the pants were at my door steps on Sunday before 11 AM. I was expecting a 2-workday delivery but Amazon did it over the weekend! Now about the pants. I normally buy 32W/32L pants and in most cases they hang on my hips, not at my waist. I like it that way because it gives me a little more room around my hips even though the legs are about 1" too long. These pants, however seem to be a small 32W. They actually sit at my waist. There is a little bit of elastic in the waistband, and for me this elastic is already somewhat stretched out- I feel maybe a 1/2" give when I pull on the waistband. Another thing is that recently I lost about 3 lbs, so let's hope that i'll keep it off, or else I may find these pants to be on the tight side. The legs are also narrow, but my thighs are not overly muscular so this will not be a problem. I prefer the slim look rather than bagginess in my pants anyway, and there is no restriction of leg movements. However, if you are on the other (plus) side of 32W you may find these pants a little too tightly fitting. Overall the workmanship seems to be good, no missing or unraveling stitches as reported by other reviewers, but I've only worn them for a few hours so far. I bought these pants for traveling and I think they will fit the bill very well. They are light-weight (much thinner than jeans) and will not take much room in a suitcase. The color should be good to hide some unavoidable dinginess accumulated in airplanes, airports, buses and taxis. UPDATE: After wearing these pants around the house (mostly sitting and watching TV) for two days I realized that they actually felt a little too tight around the waist when sitting. While they might've been fine for just walking around, this made them a poor choice for long air travels (flights, layovers, etc). I ordered another pair, this time 34W32L, and these look as good but feel much better; i hardly notice that i'm wearing them. I think that if Columbia made 33W size it would be perfect for me. I've returned the smaller pair. The benefit of having Amazon Prime is that the whole process was very fast and simple

Excelente producto solo que me quedo justo y para la actividad a realizar necesito que me quede mas holgado, ya lo ordene nuevamente, gracias

il materiale è troppo leggero, secondo me si tratta di un pantalone solamente estivo. Nella figura sembra avere una vestibilità diversa...
