Why We Like The Columbia Silver Ridge Utility Convertible Pant
While at first glance the Columbia Silver Ridge Utility Convertible Pant may look like they came out of Dad's closet, a few wears while quickly prove you wrong. The recycled polyester construction wicks moisture, dries quickly, and fights wrinkles, while the comfortable stretch encourages adventure. Plus, they zip-off to reveal 9" inseam shorts that help you push to the summit despite the heat.

Way Too Big For Standard Size
I bought 3 pairs a couple of years ago and loved the fit and function. I decided to buy an extra pair to wear for my job as a trainer. The pants I purchased a few days ago arrived today and I soon discovered, they are not the same pants. Same name, same material, same convertible option but the size is much wider in the legs, left lower pocket has changed. It now has a vertical zipper. I'm 5'10", 180 lbs. and I drown in these pants. I will be returning.

Terrible durability, bad flexibility, skin issues
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these pants for part of a thru-hike of the PCT, meaning I used them every single day for hours a day, so I have a good idea of what the pants can take. The convertibility function itself is good and I find the fit to be good enough. However, the durability is the worst of any hiking pant I've ever owned. Within only days, almost every pocket had a hole, meaning I would lose small items. Besides the pockets I have literally gotten six different holes in these pants. Some of the holes are due to stitching coming undone and some of them are the pants easily tearing. The problem is exacerbated by the fabric having completely zero stretch or give, which is not ideal for any less than walking conditions. The pants do not stand up to wear and tear. Also, the fabric itself, despite being light and easily tearable, chafes my skin and causes awful blistering. Similar pants from other brands do not cause any of these issues. I think the silver ridge utility shirts are the literal number one of any hiking shirt on the market, and have stood up incredibly well, but I would stay far away from the pants.

Baggy legs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a couple pair of these as the non-utility silver ridge were not available. On receiving I found the pants were an inch wider in the leg. Too baggy so I returned them. Would have been helpful if the description stated that.

New changes to an old friend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought three pairs of these pants and wore them exclusively on a backpacking trip around the world. A couple years, 40 countries, and 7 continents later, all three pairs are showing minor wear and tear. The mesh pockets get holes fairly easily and after a couple years, the seams are starting to come apart. But considering the mileage, they have been phenomenal. I decided to get three more pairs to replace them, and I have immediate thoughts on the updated pants. Pros: First, the belt is wider and much improved on the previous model. Secondly, the pocket mesh seems thicker, so hopefully it won’t be so prone to holes. Con: The zippered pocket on the left leg used to be perfect for a passport. I carried it in that pocket religiously and the new pocket has been changed to a smaller side opening deal, which is less than ideal. Not sure yet: The pants seem to be made of a new material and I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Time will tell. Otherwise, I’ve never felt so comfortable in a pair of pants and if you’re a traveler, hot or cold, mountain or desert, these things are as reliable as they come.

Horrible pants!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A really sad, paltry shadow of the previous (?) Silver Ridge Utility Pants. If these are just a different pant, then change the name, for God’s sake! I was duped into buying these thinking I was completing my collection with the always elusive blue ones. Terrible mistake. Horrible, cheap fabric; poor workmanship, shallow pockets. A poor replacement of the original Silver Ridge I really like! Big blunder, Columbia, and a very unhappy customer.

Stronger pockets needed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore these pants for about 4 days from the time they were brand new and somehow there is a tair in the back left pocket . I have reached back to put my car keys in the pocket and they go down my pant leg to the ground. The pocket lining should be tougher .

Great for hiking
I had Columbia hiking pants for a couple of years and wanted to add to the collection. I got tusk and stone green. Very functional for hiking and travel as they are very easy to compact while packing. Light material is comfortable and airy for hot, humid weather and they are quick drying. I used these for the first time in Costa Rica and it was one of the few materials that dried with the humid conditions. The color-coded zippers was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

Restricted movement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grill grey color looks Great, the material feels lite and good the only problem with these pants is mobility when I lift my knees up I am restricted can not do it, when I get into my truck my legs are restricted and it's difficult to get into the truck. Some stretchy elastic material and wider stitching in the crotch area would make these pants top notch .
