prAna Convertible Pant - Women's - 2008 BCS

I bought one pair, then another in a different color. I'm back again looking for a third. They're comfortable, stylish and practical. I practically live in mine. I wish the newer model Prana Convertible pants had the same cargo pockets near the knees.

I love pretty much everything Prana makes and these pants are no exception. They're not just a convertible men's pant sized differently. These are actually shaped to fit a woman's body. I tried on many pairs of convertible pants and these were my favorite, hands down- they're actually cute and flattering! I've worn them hiking and backpacking and have even worn them around town with the legs zipped off. When they're zipped off the short hits the bottom of my knee. They're also really long- I am 5'11" with a 34" inseam and ordered a 12. With hiking shoes on they're just off the ground. They're a heavier material than the Bliss shorts and don't stay as dry or dry as quickly so they're not great as a summer pant, but when it's a bit cooler they're fantastic. I wore them in the Uintahs in July (65-70 degrees during the day) and they were perfect. They have plenty of stretch for off-trail hikes and bouldering. The mosquitos couldn't get through them, either! They do run big so order a size down.

I bought these pants in the stone color and totally love them. Just took them on a sailing trip in a warm climate and they were perfect as they dry quickly and look great on. I would have loved for them to be a tad longer though...I'm 5'8 and the 6 fits me well but just barely long enough.

I love these pants! It's really hard to find hard wearing but comfortable and even fashionable pants. Fashion usually means cheesy non-existent pockets and thin fabric that rips if you move. I recently took these on a backpacking trip through chaparral, snow, water, and mud and these held up great.

The material dries fast, is slightly stretchy to allow give when you climb over trees and rocks, and FUNCTIONAL cargo pockets. (It's like someone actually thought about the design!) No nicks, broken threads, snags, or holes in the fabric. And like I said, I'm pretty tough on my stuff. They are a little long on me - I'm 5'4" but they can easily be hemmed. Better long than short. And that should be good news for taller people.

I love these pants. The fit is fantastic, and they are super comfortable. I am 5'4", 118 lbs, and the 2 was a perfect fit. It's so cool to have such great looking pants for hiking that are also extremely practical. I would definitely buy them again.

If they made these pants in seven colors, I would own all of them. Instead, I have to settle for just two. I never want to take them off. They're super flattering on my (5'5", 125, size 6), just the right length, sturdily made and with just enough give. I wear them for hiking, dog training, camping -- just about anything. I can imagine they'll get a little warm in the summer (the fabric is thick), but for Southern California in the spring, they're ideal.

These pants are really comfy and I like that the fabric is stretchy. They definitely run big so listen to the reviews and go down a size.

These pants are the best ones out there for me so far. I am 5’4” and 130 lbs, usually wear size 4. Fit is slightly loose which I like, and the length is just a bit too long. However, they are extremely comfortable! It allows for movement and doesn’t pull/rip anywhere, kinda like hiking in your favorite sweats. One think I wish was different- the zipper falls right below my knee, which means every time I lift my leg high it rubs against the knee, which can be annoying. Otherwise just like I said, it is a great pair of pants

These fit in the waist but swimming everywhere else. And I have a lot of prAna clothes and am normally the same size in tops and pants.

I love these pants! I live in Jackson Hole so I'm out hiking all of the time. I am 5'4", 130 lbs and the size 6 fits perfect. The material has just enough stretch to give you that extra room when hiking or climbing. Super flattering zipped on or off. I definitely recommend these pants.

I bought the green color and now I have the stone color. They were the only pants I used while on a trek in Peru. The stone color can noticeable get dirty scuffs easily but the green pants hides dirt scuffs well.

I really enjoy wearing these pants. They are super comfortable, a little roomy at the waist, but then again it comes with a waist tie which holds the pants up nicely without bunching up. I'm 5'2'' at 108 pounds and I purchased the extra small/size 2. The sizing chart is pretty accurate but I think I might get away with a possible size 0 if they made it, but unfortunately they don't. I purchased the Olive color and am now considering purchasing the stone color pants. I love the zip off bottoms, which leaves the length of the pants just covering my knees, a look I love. If they were any longer, than the pants would make me appear shorter than I already am! Also a plus is the fact that these pants are made of nylon and spandex, which dry quicker than cotton, perfect for my three week Peru trip coming up soon!

I absolutely love these pants. I can get away with wearing them to work (black) and out hiking. I am not usually a fan of convertible pants because I never really convert them and mainly because of the weird fit but these fit great and I have actually taken the legs off a few times when I got too hot, and it was convenient. Easy to put the legs back on too. I am 5'8" and usually wear a size 10, but went with the smaller size 8 and it fits great. Would highly recommend.

Bought the olive color and I love it. Not too dark or too light. The fabric is a nice weight (sturdy, but not heavy and not so thin you can see through it). I like that the fabric has some stretch to it. The fit is perfect, true to size. Fit is flattering, but not too tight. Planning on buying a second pair.

These pants are super great for hiking and being out doors. I'm 5'4" and 130 pounds and a size 8 fit pretty well right out of the dryer. However they stretched out quick though, got baggy and a little long as I wore them. I think I'm gonna have to hem them and they'll be perfect. Super cute when I zipped them off though. They dry quick which was nice as I went tromping through the snow in the middle of June on my last hike. Thinking I want to buy another color or two.

I absolutely love these...but I had hoped that they would fit and be perfect. I am 5 feet tall, 126 lbs and ordered a size 6. I had my mother send them to me in korea and they were a little big...after wearing them twice, they are now huge.
So, I am ordering a second pair in size 4 and having her send them to me. They are costing me a fortune to buy two pairs and have them hemmed...but I do love them. Just be sure to buy small!

These pants are really stylish for hiking pants. I love the way they fit, the low rise, etc. I am 5'6" 118 lbs, and the 2 fit perfectly, except they are barely long enough. I am afraid to put in the dryer.

I bought these in a size 6 in the stone color. They're like a light tan. I wear a size 5/6 normally, and these are true to size. They fit a tiny bit loose, but you want that to move comfortably around in. They're long on me but, I'm 5'1 and 120 lbs, so I expect to have to hem all of my pants. I'm not a high or mid-rise type person, so I got these, and they look awesome. I would definetly recommend these to a friend. Overall I give them 5 stars!!

Nice pant true to size but long. I am 5' 7" and a size 10, but they are still long.

I loved these pants but I normally wear a 10 so that's what I ordered and I can pretty much pull them on and off without using the button and zipper...I will have to try an 8 if I can find them. They are super cute, I love Prana pants and own other cargos and the cammo pants.

Well, I like everything about the pants but the waist line. I would like the waist to be higher so as to be more comfortable for hiking, wearing a belt to hang items from, etc., etc. The quality looks good and they are stylish but I can live without stylish if I can have better function.

super-flattering and functional, but, contrary to the reviews, i thought it fit very true to size.

Love these! I've tried out a bunch of the convertible pans and these are the best I've found. The legs are wide and long enough. I'm 5'11'', so they might be a little to long for petite girls. The fit is very flattering, even the zipped off version looks great. I plan on another pair.

These pants are great! I just took them on a trip to Ecuador and they were just what I needed. They look great but their also durable. I love that the pants zip off below the knee. I have the stone colored pants and went on a super muddy hike, my pants got completely covered in mud, but luckily after just on wash they looked brand new! I would highly recomend these pants to any active person looking for good hiking pants.

I found the size on these great, they look great, they feel great, they are comfortable. My only minor complaint? The fly is FOREVER GETTING UNZIPPED. As if by magic! It's super annoying to keep trying to zip it up covertly. Anybody else have this problem?

The fit and the style are amazing. I'm not kidding when I say these pants look sexy, on. I wore them everywhere last year. Backpacking into a high alpine lake; these pants took it all in stride. Very comfortable but rugged. My daughter stole them, and now she's wearing them everywhere. I had to go buy another pair. Great pants!

These pants are comfortable, stylish, and are made of great material, the only problem was the length. I'm 5'6" and I had to take the hem up about 3 inches. Now that I don't have to trip over them, I will wear them often.

The quality was what I expected from prAna, but the fit was off. The waist on the size 6 was huge and the length was a bit long. I didn't want to pay to have them altered. I ended up with a pair of Mountain Hardware convertible pants in size 6 regular...perfect fit!

Absolutely love these pants! They look good short or long and the short are modest enough for international travel.
My pair has been to Thailand - traveling, rock climbing, swimming...And I use them all the time for hiking here in the States.
They wash up well--no stains, keep their shape, haven't fallen apart yet. It's been 6 months and about 1 wash per week.
Sizing:
I'm 5'7", 135-140 lbs. with an hourglass shape. I bought a size 6. They fit snugly and still allow plenty of room for movement.
ENJOY!

These are the most amazing convertible pants! They are the only convertibles I've ever tried that are actually flattering. The material is substantial enough that it looks dressy and doesn't end up looking like baggy clown pants like all the others:) I have the black and you can't even tell they are zip-offs due to the design. I think they could pass for dress pants if you are traveling. I've worn them several times with the bottoms zipped off and the length is really stylish/cute. These are a winner-I would highly recommend. They could be the only travel pants you need.

I bought these pants for my trip to India, where I was going to be up in the cool north of the Himalayas and then down in the very hot south in Chennai. I wore these pants for 4 days straight up north and wore them in between traveling from north to south. I wore long underwear under them; between that and their wind resistance, I was warm while I was in the north.

These pants were a little long for me, but I hemmed them up and they were great. They fit really well everywhere else. I didn't actually ever zip them off (you aren't supposed to show your knees in India!), but I like the length of the where they do zip off. I've tried them at home and expect to wear them zipped off for biking this summer. The cargo pockets are really helpful as well for quickly stuffing keys and such in there.

I love these pants...got them in black. I think its pretty true to size. I am 5'6", about 122 lbs and I got them in size 2 and it fits perfectly. It's very comfortable. I'm planning to wear this on a 14-hour flight to Asia. I need the long pants to keep me warm when flying out of San Francisco and when I land in Asia where its warm, I will zip off the bottom part and I'll still be comfortable and cool.

I got these last year. Loved the style and fit. Very comfortable and rugged. Wore them everywhere. Backpacking into a high alpine lake; and these pants took it all in stride.
My daughter stole them and now she wears them everywhere. I had to go get another pair. Great pants!

i bought these last year and they are my favorite pants. i wear them so often i wanted to buy another pair but this year's convertible pant uses a different fabric that is far less comfortable and attractive. the fabric is a little shiny and is less soft. still good pants but not as good.

I never thought I would ever buy convertible pants (never been a fan of the mid-leg zipper look), but I really do like these. I think the fact that they are more like capris when you zip off the lower legs helps with the zipper-leg thing (the zipper hem is lower and less obvious when you have the full pant zipped together). I've climbed in them a bit - the material is just stretchy enough, and it's nice to have the bottoms to zip on when it gets chilly. They also have a nice "cargo" style, and the pockets in back and the low rise (on me, anyway) prevent the mom-butt look.
