Ex Officio Amphi Convertible Pant - Men's

I've been wearing Ex Officio pants for over 10 years and these are my top choice. Although the design is showing it's age -- a bit pleaty and baggy -- they're still the best fitting and best looking zip-off-leg pant out there. I like the mesh "panty" because I don't own a swimsuit! Just these pants. Ideal for rafting or canoeing trips. They dry more quickly than any other pant, but the fabric will eventually rip -- that's how all of mine end up dying, albeit after 6 or 7 years. Medium fits me well, but if your waist is over 32, head for the large.

I was prepared to be impressed. However, there's a problem with these that isn't mentioned in the description - they have a built-in mesh brief. That creates issues. Issue #1 - my boys don't like the feel of mesh...especially tight mesh. Issue #2 - if you wear these on a long trip, they must be washed daily, less one face the peril of crotch rot. Normal pants require only the underwear to be washed...a far easier task. A lot of thought went into these pants - if you're into built in panties, I guess they'd be okay. I'm returning mine.

I am very impressed with these pants. They are so lightweight that you don't even realize you are wearing them. They offer great insect protection also.

I just ordered my second pair of these after owning a pair for about 3 years. I really like these pants and almost always wear them when I am backpacking because of how lightweight they are. Over the years of backpacking through brush and scrambling over rocks several holes developed though they weren't that big and I just patched them with some repair tape and it sticks to the fabric of the pants extremely well; I've washed them probably ten times since putting the patches on and they are still adhering really well. My only gripe about the pants is that where the zipper comes together at the bottom of the pant legs there is about an inch left where there is a slit so you don't have a solid cuff which is great for putting over boots but it doesn't look so great if you're trying to wear them as casual travel pants with regular shoes or dress shoes.

Watch out for the '80s pleats - it has been a while since I've rocked pleated pants. I didn't notice it until the pants showed up. They don't seem to be as sturdy a material as my TNF convertible pants, and only time will tell how they hold up. Other than the weight of the material, the pants are lightweight, very comfortable, shed water/dry quick, and they look pretty good, too. They come with a Teflon coating or something, too, so they repel stains and to make sure that your eggs and bacon won't stick to them. My normal pants are 33/32, and the M/Reg pants fit perfectly. I'll be rocking these pants until my metabolism slows down. The built-in panties are a bit much if you like to wear your own underwear, but it is nice to be able to tell all the chicks that you don't wear underwear when you are camping. Makes you seem more rugged. Chicks dig rugged.

The Amphi Convertible Pants are as well made as the shorts. I've had a pair of the shorts for 5+ years and live in them during the summer. The pants just make packing for a camping trip that much easier. Excellent product and comfortable as can be.

These Amphi pants are great, this is my third pair and if you don't burn a hole in them they last years, so be careful if you smoke.

Yes, these were everything I expected. Good quality for a very reasonable price. If I were to niggle about anything, the pants are sized just a tiny bit too small, but then I need to drop just a little around the waste. But now that I have the convertibles, I'll be hiking more so everything will work itself out. Again, great convertible pants, no chafing from zippers on thighs so I couldn't ask for more.

My husband approves of these hiking pants. I've heard no complaints, so I guess they're good. I will say, they do not come out of the washer/dryer looking great--but I would still purchase another pair for him.

I just wore these pants/shorts in the Seven Devils for five days straight. In the morning I would take off the leg attachments, and at night I would put them back on. I cleaned the shorts just about everyday, but I probably didn't need to. They are very nice.

This purchase was to add more pairs of the a convertible pant I already owned. The price was one of the lowest I found and the delivery was responsive and quick keeping me appraised of the status from distributor to my door. Thank you.

I love the material in these pants. It is lightweight and dries quickly. The only thing wrong with them is that the leg lengths in these pants are too long. I have never been able to find any that were short enough. I had to get them hemmed.
