I travel a lot on my motorcycle and love these pants for riding. They can bungee up at the bottom keeping the legs from flapping. They breath very nicely. I do agree with a previous review that they should make the talls in smaller sizes other than Large and XLarge...however, I'm making the large work even though they are a bit too baggy. Can't go wrong with these pants. They are great for daily wear as well....very comfortable.
Fit great and they are not hot in the sunlight. I was a little weary about the dark color when I ordered them but, was suprised they were cool when worn in the sun.
I recently broke my fibula while walking a mountain trail in England's Lake District. As a result I am wearing an orthopedic boot on my left leg. With these zip-off pants, I can have one long leg and one short. Or I can even zip on the left attachment because it offers a vertical zip at the bottom so that I can get the left leg over the boot.
I bought these pants for my husband and sons (ages 15 and 16) to wear backpacking at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico this summer. They have worn them on the practice hikes and love the fabric and the versatility. The material will wash easily and dry quickly on the trail on their 10-day trek.
The color is perfect as a Boy Scout Venturing uniform, too! Would love to see this color in one of your women's style hiking pants!
