Great, comfortable, durable, convenient, easy zip on and off and slide over shoes. Double zippered side pockets are very helpful for quick access standing or sitting. Get a little shorter so they dont sag around your shoes when you have the zippers half zipped which is the way I prefer to wear them unless real cold. My original size was 32x32 then I chose a 31x30 for that reason.

I purchased these Prana convertible pants with the intent of losing the lower half when needed, but zipping them back on when the temps start to drop. Great in theory, but I couldn't get the damn lowers back on while I was wearing the shorts. I had to take them off and then zip them back on. I would say these pants frustrated me to the point I doubt I will unzip while out and about. I will either wear them as shorts or wear them as pants. I think the zipper design could be a bit easier? No, I'm not mentally or physically challenged either.

Im exchanging for smaller size as I bought waist 30 (Im a 28/30 waist, 130 lbs woman). 32 works for my 5'10 frame but 34 length might have been better but sold out.

These are my favorite pants for hiking and casual wear. They're super comfortable and breath really well.

I use this for summit fever and outdoor concerts. Keeps me super dry, looks nice and can be worn in comfort where ever needed. Bonus, start the day on a cold summit in pants, end the day with chicken legs in shorts.

Pros: Just get them. They won't rip on rocks while you're climbing, you can wear them to a cold outdoor event.
Cons: None.

Ok so I've been on this quest for the perfect pant that stretches but doesn't look stretchy for feel too light and this is the one...these pants have the balance that others miss and, and, and, they stay stretchy without losing their fit and falling down all the time....which is what happens with lot's of the other brands. As an added bonus, they will make you the talk of the office, trail, gym, or beach, as everybody will stop you and want to know what type of ants they are and where you got them. Step up....buy these pants now!

These pants were perfect for hitting the canyon at buckhorn wash in the San Rafael Swell. They dried really quickly and weren't too heavy even when soaked. Will definitely be adding more to my drawer

33x34 has been my go to size in these pants for years with no issue. This latest pair are wwwaaayyy too big now, and I know for a fact that I'm not getting smaller. These new ones fit like 34x36 instead of 33x34. Come on Prana! You're better than that. Going to return for a smaller size.

Omg the leg opening is soooooooooo wide. Needed for Rae Lakes but give me a break. I could fit 2 legs in one pant leg!

I was on the fence for a long time for these pants, Ive never been a fan of the convertibles. I finally took the plunge and was glad I did! These are super durable, lightweight and breathable. They dry fast when they get wet and are really durable. Would definitely buy again!

I wear these pants for all of my outdoor adventures from backpacking the wind rivers to rock climbing in the desert. I love the convertible feature for days that turn from cold to warm really fast, because you can go from pants to shorts so easily. They also give you the perfect amount of stretch and movement for big moves while climbing. I highly recommend these pants.

these pants rock. I wear them all the time from work to the climbing gym they look great. If you have any questions, hit me at 801-523-4075 or email me at borloski@backcountry.com.

I needed a new pair of convertibles for backpacking. Just did 5 days on the AT and these pants were awesome. So glad I bought them. After reading reviews I was nervous they would not fit but the fit was just fine.

These pants rank right up there with the best pants I have owned. Fit great and super comfortable.

Spent a lot of time over the last few years in the mountains on various rock. Zion’s have held up in every way. I don’t hike in anything else.

Just received these pants. Have not actually used them for hiking, but I do have some initial impressions after wearing them outdoors for a spell. First of all.. if you've read other reviews, there is a pretty universal opinion that the leg bottoms are too wide. I have to agree. I typically wear a 32-30 pant, and the fit of the waist is accurate. They fit nicely in that regard. The length seems to be pushing about a half to 3/4 of an inch too long, but hiking boots still keep the hem off the ground. The width of the lower legs is pretty huge though. They'll be swishing at the ankles when I walk, unless of course I zip off the legs and are using as shorts. My guess is that the extra billowing effect you get from the extra wide leg bottoms probably helps keep good air movement in there while you're actively walking. Perhaps that's the reason they are larger that normal? Or maybe they are larger to ease getting them over your shoes when you remove the bottoms, since an ankle zipper is absent. The material is awesome. If you've ever had your hands on the Marmot Scree pant, then compare it to that. I'm sure they'll repel light mist and dewy foliage well, and they seem to block wind pretty well too. But at the same time they seem to breath readily. The fabric is a little thick/heavy for dead of summer hiking, but I think they'd be fine up until about the 65-70 degree mark. I suppose zipping the legs off at that point is the thing to do. They appear rugged enough to take rock abrasions and busting though some brush if you need to. The thigh pockets are large enough, but the zippered openings are a little tight to reach in through. However, one cool feature is that the cargo pockets have a zippered top opening, but they also have a zipper opening on the side of each of those pockets. The side zip seems like it will make it a lot easier to retrieve anything you may have in there. Rear pockets lack a closure of any sort which is unfortunate, but not a deal breaker. I general only stash a Buff or bandana in there anyways.
Overall, they are a nice hiking/camping pant and I'm sure to get plenty of use out of them.

I have been looking for hiking pants to give to my boyfriend. I love that these are convertible and come in waist by length sizing! I decided to give them a try, but they were a really odd fit. The waist fit perfectly, true to size! The length was a tad long, but the legs especially the bottoms were huge! The legs looked double wide, it made the bottom look very weird. The pants just ended up looking huge over all and are going to be returned.

On a plus side, the material of them is awesome, and it feels like it would be great for hiking if they fit right! They will definitely keep water out and be comfortable all day long.

The only issue I have with these is that they don't have enough color options. I pretty much only wear these pants now. I have the convertibles, pants, and shorts all in several colors each. Convertibles are great all year round and are the only think I wear backpacking and hiking. Durable but light so they are great for camping and have held up well. I recommend these to anyone that is picky about their pants! Hard to go wrong with these.

I got these as a gift for my dad to wear over his running gear when he does Ultra races. He meant to remove them when he started running and he ended up not noticing any discomfort running the Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon. These are comfy and sturdy, and stretchy. He loves them for hiking and likes that he can run in them if he feels so inclined. He's wanting the Brion which are the same material but more of a straight leg look for more casual wear.
