Should I Buy It?

If you're searching for versatile, lightweight pants that can withstand outdoor activities, these may suit your needs.

  • Nice Fit, Does Not Retain Moisture (or Odors!)
I tried out the pants on very hot and humid day in Disneyland and couldn't be happier. The legs zip out readily, and each have a sewn-in woven label marked 'L' & 'R' for quick, frustration-free removal and re-attachment. These came in handy as the weather was better suited for shorts. The shorts come up to about 10" on the outseam - which is just right for me since I'm not a tall person at all. With the legs re-attached, I was expecting the leg fit to be similar to bog-standard military cargo pants which are roomy (maybe too roomy for me) midway below the thighs. I was pleasantly surprised that the legs fit a little narrower than plain 'straight' cut - and presented a nice silhouette. The fabric is very light, and dries off quickly inspite of the fact I was drenched. The built-in belt was also a plus for me, since an external belt would only be another cinch point where perspiration will pool which is uncomfortable and unpleasant to say the least. The fact that it's made of some sort of nylon webbing also meant that it wasn't going to absorb as much water/sweat. The cargo pockets were where my hands would naturally rest when standing, and it was a convenient to put my wallet there for easy access. The bonus of having it there instead of the back or front slide pocket was that it would swing away from the body and not sponge up the perspiration. The cargo pockets are secured shut by either a zipper (left) or a velcro-lined flap (right) -- perfect for my peace of mind especially when surging with throngs of people. After a full-day at the park, I had to air out both my 'Dri-Fit' top and my pants overnight before packing them away for washing. The next day, I did a uhm sniff test (eeew!) just to check if the fabric retained any odors. Am happy to report that the pants had a very faint remnant - enough for one to know it was used - but not at all objectionable. The Dri Fit top was another thing altogether and if your snacking as you read this, please read this part later. It was NASTY. To be fair though, the shirt's at least 4 years old so I guess it's also a function of age as I've noticed with some gym clothes. So far it's been a five star experience. My only concern for now is how the pants' fabric will wear in the near future. Some of the Columbia shirts I own have a tendency to snag and pill which I guess is the nature of man-made fibers. But you can't put a price on the comfort you gain when you're not bothered by a drenched waist and lower back. Plus, you won't smell as nasty, too. ... show more

  • Awsome colors and great fit. Super light weight.
Size: 36W x 30L Color: Silver
I was surprised to see the array of color choices, like 20? I purchased 3 pairs of these pants. I already own a pair I bought a couple of years ago and they have severed me well. I don't do much hiking of trails, if I were to hike, I would recommend a size up for comfort, otherwise they are perfect. Super light weight and wick away sweat, thus dry quickly. Again great color choices! ... show more

  • Great Outdoor Pants - Silver Ridge
I've worn this style in the past and these are great hiking and outdoor pants. That's why I chose to get two more in different colors. I'm a heavy guy (250) and they are comfortable. The convertible feature comes in handy when weather in the Northeast changes throughout the day. The waist and inseam were accurate as compared to other pants I wear. With light thermal long underwear, they can handle cooler temperatures. I've used them for cross-country skiing with no problems. The fabric is light but protects against the wind and they dry quickly. ... show more

  • Light and Cool Convertible Cargo Style Pants
I live in Florida and work under casual dress. The pants are light weight and cooler than heavier materials. I have not used the convertible option to shorts yet, but its nice to have the option for a two in one advantage. The material is wrinkle resistant, so pressing/ironing is not a must between wears. Washing is gentle and ironing is on a low setting. The included belt is also lightweight. It does not appear to be durable (thin nylon webbing with plastic catch), but you will not buy this for the belt. My satisfaction with Columbia products has been very good. I am happy for the pants for what they are: Lightweight, cool, cargo style, with good fit for my slim to normal size body contour. ... show more

  • Great "safari" pants
Great product. This is my third pair of these pants in different colors. These pants are thin and a perfect choice for hot climates. My original pair has survived three years in Africa and the Middle East with no tears or excess wear. I don't unzip the legs for the shorts option too frequently but it works. I like the side pocket zipper option and would prefer zips on both side pockets but that's ok. The velcro holds on the other pocket. I saw a comment/review on quality and compared them to "trash bag." Yes, as noted, they are thin material and wouldn't be the best choice for arctic conditions. However, for the heat of Africa or the middle east, they are perfect. Obviously I would, and have, ordered them "again." ... show more

  • Lightweight and comfy
I bought these for an upcoming trip to Costa Rica and couldn't be happier so far. They are super lightweight, fit as expected and if they perform well in the rain forest then I'll be a happy camper (pun intended). I like the different thigh pockets, one zip and one velcro, for secure and quick access. I haven't tried taking the legs off for the shorts, but will definitely give it a shot to make sure I know what I'm doing. I will update my review after my trip. ... show more
