A higher waist would have been better.
The convertible pant was of good quality. Unfortunately, I am returning it because it falls too far below my true waist and is an uncomfortable and unflattering fit that way. I purchased 2 pair of Columbia convertible pants in size small a few years ago that had a traditional true waist that was perfect for me. I would like to have the option of pants that have the traditional true waist in small, medium and large sizes rather that numbered sizes because they are more forgiving size wise. Also more petite or short sizes would be greatly appreciated.

Great pant, get one size larger than your normal
I was advised to buy up one size, which I did. And the pants fit perfectly. Love them! Well made, nice construction and features. Can't wait to wear them on safari

Not happy
When I received these pants in the mail and tried them on, I was pleased with the fit and comfort, cut the tags off and packed them for my upcoming trip. Before the end of the first day both waistband snaps had broken rendering the already loose around the waist pants even looser. For over $50 a pair I expected them to last longer than one day. The fact that I was already in Hawaii with no other alternatives didn't help matters much.

Great lightweight hiking pant.
I plan on using these pants/shorts for a trip coming up to Hawaii in a few months. It's lightweight moisture wicking features will come in handy in the summer months.

a try on before buy
Pants need to be tried on. I am 5'2 and weigh 118 (with a little more muscular legs). I ordered a four. They run a little long, the thigh area is a little snug and the waist runs too wide. I'm keeping the pants, because I know they will do well for the intended activities, but wish the fitting would have been more accurate.

Poor fit and quality and condition
Received this item in unopened bag, but filthy with grease or ??? stain & broken waist snap. Ordered same size as pair purchased a few years ago that fit perfectly and I love, but this new pair fit ridiculously--tight in hips & legs but huge gap in back waist. Can't believe they call it the same style! Definitely NOT up to the standard I was used to with Columbia!

Great
Just what I needed for my trip which will include lots of walking and unpredictable weather. I can where as pants or shorts as necessary.

Fit
Excellent pants for hiking, good long length with a lightly higher waste than I expected but I love them.

Nice pants - poor fit
This pant runs very small to size so I'll need to return them. I like the style and the fact that they are light-weight.

Great Pants for Travel!
Okay I know I am a bit obsessive but I absolutely love the Women's Silver Ridge Convertible Pant. I have three pairs. First of all, the colors are fabulous and go with any colored shirt. Secondly, if the weather is cool in the morning and then warms up in the afternoon - just unzip and you now have a shorts! My husband and I travel extensively and these pants are light and airy, dry quickly and hardly take up any room in the luggage. I am a size 10 (5"3") and these pants are true to size. I did take them up about one inch at the zipper. Those that sew can do this easily if need be!

Neither butterflies, nor presentations.
I'm so sad. These ARE flattering and comfy pants, but my results were similar to 'butterfly catcher's' - back seam stitch popped.

Nice pants, too bad the fit
is not the best for activewear: too form fitting in the leg but comfortable at the waist, so if I go up a size, that part will be too big. Bummer.

Comfy pants - not hardcore pants
While doing a butterfly lunge(bending action used while catching threatened butterflies for university research project) I seemed to have lunged too quick and the outer seam in the seat seemed to have split. Very comfy pants but not as durable as I would expect for outerwear. Really? Butterfly catching is to extreme for these pants. Well now I don't no what else to say. Good thing I wasn't studying eagles, my pants might have fallen right off. Enough with the funnies. Seriously though I expected more from field pants.

Best hiking pants
I just hiked S. Sisters in these pants. I was a little worried they would be too thin, but it was perfect! They were comfortable, wicked away sweat and water, and kept me warm. Great pair of versatile hiking pants!

Convertible pants and shirt
Both excellent for my use while on hiking trip in Glacier NP. Dry quickly, protect from wind and sun, yet remained cool despite, higher temperatures when coming down from high elevations. Would prefer button on legs for Capri length rather than the elastic pull, which tended to bind.

livable pants
I totally used these pants every day on my hiking trip to yellowstone. I loved how they fit, very flattering for a girl and they were the right length for a tall girl! I got the long length in a 12 for myself and i am 6'0. I was so pleased with them and can't wait to wear them again!

Comfortable, outdoor pant
I was looking for a cool, quick drying, comfortable pant for hiking/spending time outdoors. These pants fit the bill. I would and have already recommended them to my friends.

Sweet Pants
Nice fit at the waist, but a little bit long of an inseam. I'm 5'5" and the regular inseam pants have several inches of extra length, but very nice quality.

Finally!
I haven't worn these yet....heading to Alaska in 3 days....but I finally found hiking pants that are long (I'm 5'9") and have a non-elastic, mid rise waistband. A much more flattering fit (as flattering as hiking pants can be) that doesn't make me feel schlumpy!

Fits right in all the wrong places
These pants were awful. They fit below the waist. I wouldn't wear them for hiking as I prefer not to have my butt hanging out. The material was kind of rough. Very disappointed.

For the Tall and Thin
Got these for my daughter who is 5'11" and thin. They fit her like a glove and she LOVED them on our 4 day 3 night rafting trip. These were the only pants she took on trip and they worked very well. Legs zipped on and off easily and they dried quickly. Definite recommend for the tall and thin of any age.

Very Pleased
The pants are great for hiking, the material dries fast and the design is great. I like the zip off leg, its just above the knee, which is great for maintaining modesty while staying versitile.

Perfection
I just wore these pants canoeing/camping for 7 days in Minnesota, and can't help but write a rave review. I'm a 4/6 pant usually and the 6 fit comfortably, with plenty of room for a base layer underneath. The pants flexed and fit no matter what I was doing: canoeing, hiking, or sleeping. They dried incredibly fast after washing and the zip-offs were easy to use. Despite my lack of showers I still felt feminine. :)

Best convertible pant
I have owned many Columbia and other convertible pants and these are by far my favs. Although a little slimmer in the upper leg area, going a size up does not make them baggy. Material is fabulous - keeps you cool even when mountain sun.

Good buy
Plan to buy another pair but will have to have them and this pair I bought taken-in the waist. Waist is too big. Would be nice if they were at least a size smaller in the waist. Have worn them with a belt. Wear comfortably.

Great Pants
Comfy pants with a nice fit. Was glad to be able to order a pant in a Tall/Long.

Perfect fit
I bought these pants assuming that they wouldn't fit right and knowing that an easy return policy was available. To my surprise, they're perfect! Someone else mentioned that long slender legs don't find a happy home in traditional active pants, and I can sympathize with that. I bought my normal pant size in long and can't say a negative thing about them. I wanted to wait to write my review after I'd put them to good use, but am so delighted that these pants fit like a dream that I couldn't wait.
As a side, the fossil color seems lighter in person than it did on my screen.

Nice pant
In order to accommodate a base layer I went up a size. Not too big w/o base layer. Great for camping and hiking. Nice stretch.

Great Hiking pants!
Bought these for a trip to Costa Rica. They held up great hiking throughout the country. Only downside is no larger pockets to hold items like a camera. Fit was great and very comfortable. I'm and 8-10 and purchased the 10. It was a little big.

Tall dream
Tall thin legs can not find hiking pants and I have been in ugly baggy ones until I found these.
March 28, 2011
Great fit
The fit was perfect - I ordered according to the size chart (normal size worn). The length was good for me, I'm 5'9". The color is nice and looks like it did online. Haven't gotten to wear them yet though.

Great, slightly relaxed fit
I just wore these pants on a 24-mile mountain trek and was thrilled with the way they fit and performed. Though I'm slender, I have slightly bulky thighs and have long been frustrated by the stiff materials and narrow cut of many other trekking pants. The lightweight material and slightly relaxed fit of these made for great maneuverability -- especially when rock-scrambling. And they held up to the beating I gave them through the brush and muck.
