Love them! Fit is comfortable and looks good. It's like packing 3 pants in one. Not only can you zip off the legs to make cute shorts, but you can roll up the legs and convert them to capris. Very smart design and classic khaki fabric is nice too.

Best looking convertible pants I've found. I read all the reviews before purchasing these pants and decided to take everyone's advice and go up a size. I wear a 6 and purchased an 8 regular. I can't imagine going any smaller. The length is also just right -- I'm 5'4". They look great and I'm looking forward to taking them hiking.

Great, well made hiking pants. I really like these hiking pants. I bought a size 6 (I usually wear size 4 jeans from the Gap although sometimes size 2) and they fit comfortably and allow me to move. I was a little worried that these would not fit in the butt, as many hiking pants seem to be designed for less curvy figures and I had read that these were better on tall slim girls, but they are really comfortable on me, despite that I have some curves. They appear to be very well made and the fabric is great for use in the outdoors because it does not soil easily and actually breathes and moves quite well. These pants are not noisy and the regular length is perfect with sneakers although many of my jeans tend to drag. I like that these sit lower on the waist as I do not like feeling waistbands near my belly button, and the waistband, pockets, and belt loops were very comfortable even wearing a 35lb pack. The shorts are a good length and the pants are easy to convert. If anything, I would prefer a slightly more fitted shape around the knee so that the pants are a little more flared instead of just a straight, loose leg, but these pants are certainly the best compromise between fit, comfort, function, and practicality that I could find. I would definitely recommend these as practical, all purpose outdoor pants.
