Perfect convertible pants DO exist!

By ANNIE NAYLOR Ranked #165 - Women's Hiking Pants August 1, 2010

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.
