Columbia Men's Silver Ridge Convertible Pants

Great pants. They dry very quickly, and the belt that accompanies them is very nice with a satisfying buckle. Fit great, but are slightly baggy. Excellent for hiking, very breathable. The material is comfortable, but I have reservations about its durability. DO NOT wear these around a campfire though, the slightest ember will melt a hole straight through them with incredible ease.

Great pants overall, I find them very comfortable, lightweight, very good for just lounging around the house, and especially great for summertime, outdoor activities, hiking, etc. I've been wearing these pants for years. However, the mesh pockets on a couple of mine were the first thing to wear out and develop holes a little sooner than I would have liked, when otherwise the pants were still totally wearable (the pants were less than two years old). Also, the company has gotten cheap with the belt loops... these pants used to have 7 loops, with 2 in front, 2 on the forward side, 2 on the side farther back, and 1 in back center, but they've dropped the 2 on the forward side. This leaves a bit of a gap between the front loops and the 2 on the side but farther back. They still hold the belt reasonably well, but the belt can easily fall out (slip thru the front loop) when not buckled. I know I'm being fussy but I liked them better with 7 belt loops.

*SKIP TO THE BOTTOM IF YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT THE POYLESTER VERSION* I own probably half dozen of these Silver Ridge Convertible pants. Some dating back years and I'm still wearing them today. And I practically live in them! They are great pants and I love them. Lightweight yet durable. They are thin material but they hold up amazingly well. Fast drying so if you get wet you won't have to worry about having a dry pair handy. You'll be dry quick. Practical. They can easily be folded up, or for that matter just scrunched up into a ball and shoved in a backpack. They tend to easily straighten out. They never have that starchy ironed look, but never look wrinkled either. Just a nice casual lived in look. Sizing is accurate. There is zero shrinkage. The waistband has a small section on each side of the waist, hidden under the belt (included too!) that allows a little give if conditions call for it. It isn't going to be like a full elastic pair of gym shorts, but rather just a little give. Pocket sizing is good. I can easily fit a large cellphone in the thigh side pocket, yet when empty the material flattens out so it's barely noticeable. They don't have that '"cargo pants" bulky look to them. The front pockets have a mesh liner which at first I was hesitant to put anything important in (like my keys) for fear they'd fall out. But over time I've found the material and stitching to be stronger than I thought. I have yet to rip or tear any pocket, and like I said I live in these. Breathable so wearing them even in the summer heat here in Arizona works well. And keeping the UV rays off your skin is a good thing. I keep one black pair for casual appointments like a doctor visit, cookout, or maybe a meeting. A clean pair of these especially in black can actually work as casual attire. (with the right shoes and top of course). ONE IMPORTANT POINT: These are 100% nylon, and are marketed as Silver Ridge Convertible pants. If you purchase similar looking pants marketed as Silver Ridge Utility Hiking pants you will find they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT despite looking similar and having a similar sounding name. Those are made out of 100% polyester.... not nylon. And they are no where near as good as these original nylon versions.

Really fit nice and are light and comfortable.

I don’t understand all the negativity concerning these pants. They are terrific! The fact that they include a removable belt (that is HUGE for a hiking pant) and zip off at the knee are two of their best features! There are pockets-a-plenty for all of your hiking ”stuff.” The material is lightweight, but protective at the same time. If they get wet, they dry quickly. The pants can be worn on the hiking trail, to the golf course, volunteering at your school’s carnival…you name it!! And they come in numerous colors so your wardrobe doesn’t get boring! If there is any knock on these pants, it would have to be the back pockets. They were designed with breathability in mind, but the mesh fabric on the inside has come undone on my husband‘s first pair. It was super simple to take a needle and thread and close up the small holes. So now I guess I understand the negativity of the reviews… Lol! I shouldn’t have to sew up the back pockets. I still think these pants are a win!

I used these on a long distance hike. A few threads started to unravel but after wearing them 12+ hours a day for weeks on end I think I got a fair deal.

I originally ordered these pants to serve as my primary hiking/backpacking pants for use for day hiking and week long trips into the back country. I was looking for a pair of pants that were convertible into shorts as well to allow for my pants to have a "dual purpose" and combine a pair of shorts and long pants. First Impressions: Upon first impression I thought the fabric was durable, breathable and thought the pants were well made. I also enjoyed the fact that the pants included a belt, the belt wasn't necessary but it was a nice bonus. Pros: Convertible- These parts are convertible into shorts, however you will need to sit down to remove the pant sections as there is no additional zipper or stretch in the pants to get the pant section over a pair of boots or perhaps trail runners for that matter. Lightweight- Although probably not the most lightweight pair of hiking pant, I had no issue with the weight. Included Belt- This was a nice included feature. The belt is a nylon strap with a plastic belt buckle, with no option to replace the belt buckle if it were to break. The belt buckle seemed to hold position and didn't relax as I hiked. Pant Material- I did feel this material was durable and held up well to abrasions from scrambling on rocks and a few slips and falls while on the trail. I also did feel that the pants provided adequate sun protection. Cons: Fit- I am 5'10" & 170 lbs with an athletic build and I found the pants to be tight in the thighs. This was mostly noticeable when scrabbling on rocks or climbing over fallen trees or objects on the trail. While walking around on flat and well groomed trails I did not experience this issue. Removable pant portions- To remove the pant portions I often needed to sit down and remove my boots to remove these as they are not stretchable or have additional zippers to make them easier to remove. There is also an issue of where to put the removable portions once they are off. Putting them in the side pockets made the pockets bulge and feel uncomfortable and I felt putting these into my backpack and taking things out at camp and shuffling around only was asking for them to get lost in the future. Pockets- Pockets and thin and mesh. I would hardly put items in my pocket, but when I did I was conscious not to put sharp objects that could damage the pockets into them. Bottom line: I would not purchase these pants again due to the tightness and subsequent mobility issues while using these. Also, the zip off portions were not the easiest to deal while and added a lot of time with needing to stop and remove my boots. I personally would look for a hiking pant that I was able to roll up as oppose to unzipping.

Excelente producto solo que me quedo justo y para la actividad a realizar necesito que me quede mas holgado, ya lo ordene nuevamente, gracias

Pour le loisir, très bon produit. Très bien coupé bonne taille.

il materiale è troppo leggero, secondo me si tratta di un pantalone solamente estivo. Nella figura sembra avere una vestibilità diversa...

waist 85 cm... size 32 is fit height 180 cm... it's 3-4 cm longer & should be shorten.

Article correspondant à la description, et parfait par rapport à la taille attendue. Sinon, qualité parfaite et couleur correspondant à celle attendue.
