Women's Aruba™ V Convertible Pant 4.3 5 18 18
Yes, you should.... Another great product! Love these pants, the mateiral is durable and breathable. Quailty construction and a design that ensures full range of motion. Great for land or water adventures.I'm vertically challenged, so they are a little long. However, the material is easy to hem. May 13, 2013
Great cargo-style pants These pants are comfortable and useful. They fit well, look good, and accomplish what I need them to do (which is to hold many items in the pockets, stay cool in hot weather, dry quickly when I get wet, and still look good). I'm impressed with these pants. April 23, 2013
Not the best for curvy girls I'm a size 18 hips with a size 14 waist. On our drive to the campsite, I stitched a piece of elastic in the back of the waistband to tighten them up and take in about 4 inches, otherwise I had a serious gap in which both fists would fit.These do come with some elastic, but it's minimal and barely bunches the fabric.Other than that, the pants are great. We got caught in a downpour and my soaked pants dried in less than 15 mins. They are lightweight, good for layering over warmer pants, and do not hinder movement as you climb and stretch.Just wish they understood that curvy girls do exist. April 22, 2013
Size variations I read others' reviews of this product before purchasing. Due to the size variations, I purchased one pair in size M and one pair in size L. I found the M to be very snug and the L to be very large - so much so that I have to take them to be altered. I don't feel that there should be such a difference between sizes. I am pleased, however, that I was able to purchase them on line because most outdoor sporting stores in my area do not carry them. Columbia has always been my favorite brand. April 1, 2013
Covnertible pants/shorts The most I have ever paid for shorts. However when you consider. Going on a trip where it's warmer than home. Will wear the pants on the plane, and when we arrice can unzip in the restroom & be in a nice cool paid of shorts. Also like the two extra pockets. One a zipper closure the other a snap closure. Will keep items in the pockets rather than my purse. I ordered 2 pair as I wasn't sure which size. March 14, 2013
Nice pants I am very satisfied with my pants. They run large, so if you are on the border of a size range, act accordingly. I did have to exchange mine but customer service was great. February 26, 2013
Great Pants Only problem: the snap popped off the pocket the first time I tried to use it, couldn't repair it. January 21, 2013
not thrilled I bought these to replace an old pair. These are very light and thin. Not what I expected. October 26, 2012
Loved this product Wore these pants while I hiked part of the Colorado Trail. They were so comfortable! It was hot some days, cold at night, and even rained on us. No matter what the condition, they were great! Would definetly recommend buying this product!! September 23, 2012
I have not yet used this item since it was purchased for an event yet to happen I was truly disappointed in the sizing. I tried to find these hiking pants in local stores so that I could try them on. No luck. I tried on other Columbia pants so as to have a size indicator. Then I ordered a size large because all the 10's I tried on were too small. Whoa!! when they arrived they were way too big so I had to have them altered at an additional $15. Hemming was part of that---again nothing on line came in a shorter length. There was no time to return the pants since I purchased them for a trip. After the huge amount of money I spent, I hope that they serve me well as I hike in the Four Corners area of the American Southwest. July 31, 2012
Great quality. True to size.Prompt delivery. July 26, 2012
Good product This pant is good for me. Just a little large, but it is OK. July 21, 2012
Finally a hiking pant for a woman with curves. I've had issues finding pants that fit me. I'm right on the cusp of sizes. These pants fit well in the waist, but are a little baggier in the legs than I wanted, but other than that, they are very functional, light weight and good quality. I do recommend them July 12, 2012
best work pants ever Best work pants ever. I can bend, sit , twist and get up and down in them and they look great too. July 11, 2012
good on-the-water pants I bought 2 pair for working on boats in the summer sun. They are very lightweight if you chose them for sun protection (like me). If its just too hot, they are convertible to a nice bermuda length short. One cargo pocket zippers and the other has a button. They are win. July 11, 2012
Great hot weather hiking pants. I hiked in these pants in 105 degree temps on Comb Ridge in southeast Utah and was comfortable. I'd planned to unzip the legs but decided against doing so to protect my knees from sun reflected back from the slick rock.My waist is small in proportion to my hips, so I added small darts to each side in front and was able to do without a belt.The fabric is tough and survived several episodes of negotiating rock slides on the seat of my pants unscathed. I like the pants so well I bought a second pair. July 3, 2012
What I expected. Nice light material. The legs zip off very easy unlike some convertible pants I have had, which is great. The fit is good, I always wear a belt, and the lenght is just right. June 2, 2012
Fit was not too good I like the Columbia convertibles.....I have serveral....However, this latest purchase doesn't fit at the top (these are just below waist pants). I thought with the elastic band on either side the fit wouldn't be an issue, however that isn't the case. One of the issues with buying online...can't try on prior to purchasing. Fit through the hips/legs and length is good. May 23, 2012
