Love them! Fit is comfortable and looks good. It's like packing 3 pants in one. Not only can you zip off the legs to make cute shorts, but you can roll up the legs and convert them to capris. Very smart design and classic khaki fabric is nice too.

great convertible pants As far as convertible pants go, these are a bit more stylish and much more comfortable for a women's shape....although they are not a true "low rise" the fit is more like a longer board short with a higher waist band. I agree that you should go up in size, I am a 6-8 and the 10 fits just right (I estimate about a 29 inch lower-rise waist, which is normally about an 8) . I really like the fact that the shorts are shorter than most pants of this kind, and the nice little buttoned strap to make the pants into capris is a great option. Overall, much more versatile and fashionable than all the other convertible pants I tried on at REI, patagonia and the local camping store....but, still not quite the style of a great off trail low-rise pant! This being said....with all my other convertible pants I ONLY wore them when I was in a very remote location without many people to see their baggy butt and ugly high waters and waist, but with these pants...I will likely wear them for local hikes and on trips with light packing needed!

Best looking convertible pants I've found. I read all the reviews before purchasing these pants and decided to take everyone's advice and go up a size. I wear a 6 and purchased an 8 regular. I can't imagine going any smaller. The length is also just right -- I'm 5'4". They look great and I'm looking forward to taking them hiking.
