I bought these pants for an upcoming trip to Alaska. I like the idea that you can turn them into shorts if the day gets warm. Having the versatility will save on packing. Great lightweight fabric. My only negative is that they are slightly short in the rise for me.

These hiking pants are much more comfortable than my last pair from another company. I like the waist coming up to meet my waist. There is give and stretch for squatting , climbing or just sitting. I am excited to wear them during the day. I love that you can zip off the loser leg. Wish they could be rolled and snapped up higher like a pair of capris but I will get past that.

Absolutely love these pants. I have a navy pair like the gray ones I just received. They are the most comfortable pants you will ever wear! They are wonderful to hike in and dry quickly if gotten wet. The best part is you can totally unzip them around the legs and have shorts for the summer!! To me that's a great value in pants !!!

I like the pants; they are very good quality. Unfortunately, they run small.

Super comfortable and allows for great flexibility when hiking. 3 length options makes these a perfect all weather pant!

The pants are good quality. I like that I can unzip the leg to wear as shorts. Good pockets. They run a little small. I bought true to my size and they are very snug. Size up. I wish the bottom could roll up more. The snap tab does not allow the pants to be rolled up more than about 2 inches which doesn’t make much different.

I love convertible pants for camping and travel. I loved these pants so much I got them in every color. The black is great even to dress up for day to night, dinner, etc. I’m 5’4” and the length is absolutely perfect for me.

Best Silver ridge zip off utility pants for hiking
I had a pair of khaki ones that I’ve been wearing practically daily for years ..and seeing the inevitable wear and tear , I finally decided to check out your website . I was able to get the pair in this cool greasy shade..and after wearing a dew days chose to buy 2 more pairs in black and khaki. I think I’m set for my hikes, dog walks and life for awhile. So we’ll made ..UV protected and rain proof. Love them especially the comfort and pockets so convenient for all the gear I carry.thankyou

Love the flexibility of this pants. I can wear it during cold weather as pants, in the spring time as capri, and during the summer months as shorts.

I already have a pair and really like everything about them

These are really nice pants/shorts. They fit well, but are quite long. I like the color too!

I have these pants from ~2010 and loved them for many years, but they are a little too small now since I've gained some weight. I have been wearing the men's version since 2018 when I decided that I absolutely needed cargo pockets big enough for my wallet and phone to hike the Camino de Santiago. I've gone through about 3 pairs of the men's version since then, thanks to increasingly shoddy construction, and finally decided to give the women's version another go. I'm a true size 14 in every other brand, so I bought the 16 (the biggest non-plus-size size they make) and crossed my fingers, and they fit! They fit extremely snugly, but I expect them to stretch in the waist with wear. Now let's talk pockets. There is one cargo pocket with a velcro closure that is big enough for a wallet and/or phone. Why one, when the men have two, and one of the men's has a zipper? And in exchange for this one luxury, they have removed the left butt cheek pocket. There is also a pocket with no closure whatsoever on the back of the right thigh. It is technically just big enough for my phone, but I don't foresee ever using it since its contents would immediately be in a creek. There is also a small zipper pocket inside the right hip pocket that I guess you could store extra cash in if you expect to get mugged? The strangest part to me is that every version (men's and women's) of these I've owned before is nylon, and these are 100% polyester, yet make all the same claims about the fabric being "omni-cool," "omni-wick," "omni-shade," whatever. I expect them to be pretty uncomfortable in hot or humid conditions. Other than the fit and looking slightly less like a grungy backpacker, the part I was most looking forward to about switching back to the women's version was the little snappy-do that on my 2010 pants let me convert them to capri length. These have the snappy-do, but it allows you to roll the pants up....drumroll....one inch from the bottom hem. Huh? Why? TL;DR I will be keeping these because the fit is much more flattering than the men's and the pocket situation is adequate, I suppose. Buy one full size up.
