Our full featured backpacking pant, with a clean look. Micro-chamois lined conical waist for smooth comfort under a pack, zip off legs, reinforced seat and knees, ankle zipper, inseam gusset, and just enough pockets.
Great set of backcountry pants
Awesome Pants! Took these pants with me for a four day hike on The Long Trail...Material is extra durable and comfortable! Zip em off when the heat rises for some fresh air and zip em back on to keep warm when the evening approaches...Highly recommend and as usual Altrec is great to deal with=thanks again!
Fantastic attention to detail
The attention to detail on these pants are unsurpassed. The reinforced tacking at all stress points; the belt loops make the pants great for backpacking. The fabric, though still light have a better hand (feel) than others in the [con-vert]ible category.
Love these pants
Heavy duty fabric, quality construction can't wait to spend many miles in them on the trail.

best i've worn
I searched avidly for a month for convertible pants and none matched up to the features or quality of these. The plan is to wear these for three months through n. and s. Europe as they shed water, dry and clean exceptionally well and are conveniently shorts for the heat. Travel pockets are great also. I now have two pairs of these.
Loved Them Right Out Of The Box
Not only do these pants look cool, but they are super comfortable, and have tons of awesome features that make hiking in them a breeze. I wore these while doing the Mt. Wilson hike and it was cold when we started but got hot really quick as we ascended the Mtn. Zipped the pants legs off and felt great! Also the pockets can hold all of your odds and ends that you want easy access to... Get these pants!
Nice quality and a good fit.
I've used them for my last two hikes, and have found them comfortable and well made. One of the hikes was in the snow where they proved themselves warm enough for the job. Hopefully they will last well.
These are GREAT pants!!!
I absolutely love these pants. The fabric has a very substantial feel to them. They have awesome features: long shorts, great pocket location, comfortable waistband, and ankle zips that go all the way to the knees!
Get what you pay for
Lived in these (as shorts) in the Caribbean. Hiked, toured the city, chilled in the pool, swam in the ocean. Good length on these, not your typical "Magnum PI" zipoffs. Front pockets are "Levis style" and don't hold much, but the side zips compensate. Long pant zips, actually get around your boot. Remained comfy on a very vertical volcano hike. Like the soft inner lining. Will drip dry in a couple hours.
MH goodness
My second pair of MH [con-vert]ible pants (also have the Mesa). Slightly heavier than the Mesa. Solid with features that the competition doesn't have. Two gripes: 1. no belt included, as on the Mesa. 2. no traditional cargo pockets (on the sideseam). The pockets result in the items being carried on the top/ in front of your thigh, which is distracting and chaffing while on long hikes. But, that's just me.
Great pair of pants
These fit true to style and are very durable with the kinds of activities I'll wear them for. Material is soft to the skin, no chafing noted from breaking them in on a moderate hike of 6 miles. I do wish that MH would have included a belt, like they do with other types of pants they make. That is the only thing I'd say detracts from the pants but overall, I am very pleased with them. Great prices and service from Altrec is always a plus.
Fit Dilemma
Mountain Hardwear always does their homework to make sure their products have all the latest creature features that we want! I normally like their products due to their attention to detail, BUT the fit on these pants just doesn't work well for me. I'm 5-10, 169 lbs, 34.5 inch waist, Hips 39 inches, 30-31 inch inseam.
These pants seem to need to be worn very low on the hips for them to work for me.... I consider them low waist-ed (not too crazy about their "ride height"). The mediums were too tight in both the hip and waist, while the large is about right in the hips, but too loose in the waist (both of these were the regular length). When I moved up to the large size the overall length became an issue. Because of the ankle cinch, I could get around this problem... however pulling up the ankles like this means that you'll have a lot of excess material flapping about (the short version would most likely cure this problem, but Altrec didn't list that as an option). What I need is a FAT medium cut! The three stars is only because of my fit problem.
