Help with Convertible Pants

Don’t own any, but heard Kuhl has some offerings that may fit the bill

Prana makes some sharp looking outerwear as well.

i use prana for climbing and other such … probably 200+ days a year …. and generally they have been pretty goood

BUT

this last year ive had 2 pocket zippers blow … and the convertible pants come apart twice at the zipper stitching at the thigh

the issue with the prana zion convertibles is that there is a single line of stitching for on the thigh zips … one good tug or snag and it can pull apart easily

fortunately i bought em from MEC who repaired em for freee

;)

Thanks, gentlemen! I’ll look into your recommendations.

Something to be aware of:

If you wash the legs more often, they will become a different color than the shorts due to fading pretty quickly…

Also, if you hardly ever wear the legs but wear the shorts in strong sunlight a lot, the legs will also be a different color.

Both effects happen surprisingly fast, and don’t counterbalance each other.

Not a big deal for hiking, but for around town – two tone screams hiker much louder than cargo pockets.

Personally, I’d recommend a pair of supplex travel pants in a thickness that isn’t too hot for the summer heat.
