Ex Officio BUZZ OFF Convertible Pant - Men's

Mother Nature created some beautiful sunsets and awesome fishing, but in the process she made mosquitoes, too. The BUZZ OFF Insect Shield Insect Apparel line from Ex Officio presents a no-hassle solution to the problem of little bloodsuckers. At heart, the BUZZ OFFs are a pair of unassuming hiking pants with partially gusseted legs and quick-drying fabric. But their insect-repellent finish, UV resistance, and shorts-to-pants convertibility prove that the BUZZ OFF Pants are much, much more than your average hiking duds.

Bottom Line: Hikers love them; bugs hate them.

Old man style

Yeah, they do keep the bugs away from your legs. They just have that "Old dude Sans-a-belt slacks look" about them that really doesn't do it for me. As an added bonus, when the legs are off you've got "Slightly too short to look normal" shorts... there's just no winning here. I also found the zippers to be irritatingly fiddly getting the legs on and off; they catch a lot and don't seem terribly durable. Technically these are well thought out pants that deliver the technical features they promise, but their bizzarre look has left them languishing in the back of my closet.
