Good for summer wear. Sep 24, 2009 By Palmetto Native
I had a difficult time trying to find a medium waist and a 30" length. All of the local retailers were only stocking 32" lengths and this forced me to find this product from another source. These pants are the lightest pants that I own and I have found that they are most comfortable during hot days. Even though these pants are light, the material is not as smooth as another pair of pants that I purchased from another source. One issue: I wish that the cargo pockets were located on the side of the legs instead of being on top of the front pockets. Items in the cargo pockets compete for space with the front pocket. I am not sure if I will have many occasions to use the convertible feature for turning the pants into shorts, but I will see.

Light and Great for Travel Nov 01, 2010 By beesquare
These pants are very lightweight, and they dry quickly. They run true to size, and they work well as shorts (legs zipped off) or as long pants. The pants have built-in underwear; ie the shorts are like a swim suit and can be used for swimming if you so desire. This has some good points, though I probably would not have chosen that feature if it were an option. Separate underpants are a bit more comfortable.

Great hiking pants Nov 02, 2009 By J. Winstead
I have purchased a couple of these pants and have found them confortable and well made. They're great for long treks, day hikes and for fishing. The convertable pants to shorts is great.

Fishing pants Apr 25, 2011 By John Krehnovi
These things have a tag on them saying they are fishing pants. I guess I didn't realize that when I bought them. The bottom line is that they are not perfect for hiking in my mind. They are just good.

Much like the other reviews have indicated, the pockets are a little unusual. They are deep and located on the front which is different than anyone would expect. If you have anything in your pocket, it definitely rubs against the body. This is because if the location of the pockets and the material is so thin.

I'm happy with these pants. The material is light and would dry out easily if wet. It's good for hiking and to keep the mosquitos off of me when hiking even in warm climates.

I had a difficult time understanding the sizes. I bought an Mx32 and it fits well for me. I am 6 foot, 170 pounds, waist is about 34-35 inches. This should fit a 36 inch waist well too. I also bought an Lx32 but the waist was way too big for me so I returned that one.

My problem with these pants is the material. After hiking for a few hours, I found the material to be uncomfortable against my skin. I started complaining about it and then my wife told me that it says they are fishing pants right on the pants.

So there you have it... good pants, good price, get the job done, but not perfect for hiking, and the pockets are a little unusual.

They are okay Jun 11, 2011 By Raymond R. Grzan
This is really a swim trunk /pants with a pull string belt, no zipper but has a mesh interior. They are very light and well made. So if you know your going to go swimming, and don't want to carry or wear swim trunks this is fine but I would pick something else if hiking is the primary use.
