Product Description
Save space in your pack with the Royal Robbins Zip N' Go Convertible 2-in-1 Pant/Short Combo. It has discreet, hidden zippers that allow the pant legs to slip off when the sun warms the trail or you come to a stream crossing. Adjustable openings at the cuffs slide over boots easily for quick transitions. A side pocket holds the pant legs to keep them handy but out of the way. Designed with the hiker in mind, this pant comes with a partial elastic waist for mobility, a gusseted crotch to make biking or hiking more comfortable, and pre-laundered fabric for a cotton-like feel. No-wrinkle Supplex nylon dries fast to keep you cool, prevent clamminess and foil odor-causing microbes. No wonder this pant is a favorite of hikers, paddlers and campers.

Love these pants! February 10, 2008
I bought these pants when I began an 8-month contract with a wilderness therapy company in the high Utah desert. They cost me $60 dollars, which felt like a mint at the time, but they turned out to be my best friend for my entire stay at the job.
I wore them all summer long for ROUGH 8-day shifts. I climbed mountains, waded streams, and sat on sand, stone, and occasionally cactus, and they held up great-- no rips, no wearing, and almost no staining. (They do let cactus spines through, though.) Best of all, they were COOL. Due to dress code, I couldn't utilize the zip-off feature, but never minded in the slightest because they're nylon and breathe so well. I LOVE all the pockets. Two cargo pockets on the thighs, one in the back, a passport one hidden inside the back pocket, and don't forget the one hidden down inside the left leg! They regularly held the following: my big knife, my handkerchief, my big map, my water drops, my flashlight/headlamp, my pens, my paperwork (in baggies), and god knows what else when I needed the room. And the pockets are MESH, so you don't have extra material gathered around where your body is going to produce the most heat.
In the winter I did manage to get some burn holes in the legs--tiny, the size of a floating cinder-- but the edges melted around and they never ripped like cotton certainly would have. They amazing thing was that I wore these not only all summer, but into the 0-degree weather of winter with the simple addition of a pair of long underwear (waterproof outers for cold rain, too). And again, the pants would dry tremendously fast if they got wet, and they were almost windproof. I hate the cold, so believe me-- if I felt like I needed warmer pants, I would have bought them!
My one complaint is the silly velcro on the inside bottom of the legs that apparently is there to let you zip-off and take off the pant legs to make shorts without having to take off your boots. (Why you would be wearing boots when it's hot enough for shorts is beyond me-- that's what a good pair of hiking sandals is for.) The trouble with that is that if you're walking in brush, twigs can tend to catch on the pant leg and unstick the velcro, and suddenly you're wearing bell-bottoms and the pant legs start catching on even more stuff. If you really hate it though, you can always safty-pin the pants, and no problemo.
I also appreciated the fit of these pants. Nice & snug around the waist so no need for an uncomfortable belt in addition to my pack belt, but still roomy though butt & hips. This isn't a outerwear brand I'd even heard of before, but I want to spread the word now! They're great pants! I'm going to buy another pair for a camping trip this summer :)
