They have an internal security pocket, plus they're easy to wash and dry quickly, so they're ideal for international travelers.

What is the inseam length of the shorts? Most women's zip offs have shorter shorts than I prefer to wear.

Where does the zipper stop/start on these pants? I bought a pair of convertibles once and the zipper stopped on the inner thigh--not exactly comfortable after a few miles of hiking!

Can these pants be cinched in at the ankle?

The ankles can be opened, but not cinched. There's a velcro strip that runs lengthwise and one snap at the bottom. So they can open up if you'd like to fit them over a boot. But you can't adjust the ankle to make them tighter.

I left five stars since I didn't keep the pants and didn't want to change the rating- just wanted to give a heads up on size issues. It is really hard for me to find pants that fit, especially since I can't stand wearing pants on my stomach. If you want these to fit low on your hips then you will have to get a bigger size and just know it will be baggy around the rest of you. I also ordered a size smaller so that the rest of the pant fit me but then the waist went up over my belly button so I returned those as well.

I ordered two pairs of these pants, not knowing whether the M or L talls would fit my lanky niece. The M fit her well and I tried on the L, which also fit me well, so I kept both pair. My niece actually works in the field doing bird research, climbing trees, plodding through swamps, etc. I'll let you know how they hold up on her. Mine will not get a good field test, but they are comfortable for the office and short bike rides so far. We really like the style and fit. They are definitely long (we're both almost 6'), almost too long, but I'm happy to have this to complain about.
