Great For Kids Who Like Both
One of my kids loves to wear pants but then complains when it gets to hot later in the day and we're well beyond changing clothing. So these pants work great, in addition to being high quality!

Great Pants/shorts
I bought the kids normal size but had to return and move a size down. We live in Idaho and go camping often. Our summer comes very late but the mosquitoes come early! These pants are great for the kids, they have the bottom part on in the morning and evening and take them off during the day. The kids do not want to wear pants in the summer, it is a fight every year but no more with these pants!!

My son really enjoys these pants so far, especially since they are convertible. They are light weight and were easy for me to hem (I bought a size up so he could grow into them).

They're super cute pants. They do pull after a few washings, wish the fabric was hardier, but they're nice pants.

Exactly as advertised
Product fit perfect and was received promptly. Also love the look, a excellent quality product, I have received numerous compliments on them. How often does that happen with a pair of pants, will buy more for sure. Love the sizing chart so I can order the right size with no guesswork involved. 5 star product in my humble opinion and I am not an easily impressed Customer. High marks all around.

Great Pants!
Bought these for my son to take to Alaska and they are perfect. Adjustable waist elastic is only in the back of the pant so it leaves the front nice and flat. Fabric is nice and lightweight so it'll dry quickly, and even though they're zip off's, they look nice enough to wear with a polo shirt to dinner.

Good
My boys are athletic, muscular legs, I was concerned if it’d be big enough but it’s a good fit, slightly long which I think is goodie did choose a 10-11 size for my almost 10 year old (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Excellent Light Weight Pants
I expected something that felt a bit rough like nylon - instead, this fabric is soft and flexible. They are also amazingly lightweight, and my son hardly feels any heat from them at all. It is a little challenging to put the removable part of the legs back on, but they come off easily! There are also plenty of useful pockets. Excellent versatility for summer camp, when you can't even begin to guess exactly what the weather will bring!
My son is growing out of size 14 now, and there is enough extra length (not so much that he trips over the hem) and room in the waist for him to grow.

So versatile!
I have bought these pants for my son since he was little. Great solution for chilly mornings and warm afternoons. Simple to zip off or zip back on. My son asks me to buy these every time he out grows a pair.

Scout Uniform
Bought these for my son to wear with his scout uniform. The color is a little bit lighter than uniform pants, but these pants are much nicer. It’s tough to find pants that fit my skinny little son properly, and the adjustable waist worked perfect. Good quality pants. My son loves them!

Boy's Pants Large on Adult
I'm adult male with a 28 inch waist so it is often difficult to find pants that fit in adult sizes. I bought these pants XL boys in hopes that they would fit well. Unfortunately there were about 2 inches extra room in waist. The inseam seemed long as well. Mine is 30in. The legs were baggy as well. The quality of the pants seems quite good and if I were to buy again, I would try the L boys.

Kids love these!
These pants are great for the outdoorsy kid! They are a little thinner than the pants I was replacing (different brand), but it'll be perfect for summer. If we need extra warmth during cooler months, we'll just wear a base layer with it.

Great for walking
My son loves these pants--although he only uses the shorts! They are light and airy, super comfortable. They are NOT good for work pants, as they are made of super thin material, and might even get pulls in the fabric easily.

Great pants!
Bought these for my son to take on a long backpacking trip. Wanted something light and durable and these fit the bill. Plus they look great too! In fact when they came and I showed them to my son, he thought they were dress pants because they looked so nice and was surprised when I said no they are for backpacking/hiking. Do lightweight, durable and nice looking, plus adjustable waistband. What more could a person want?

Best of what's hard to find.
Great product. Wish there were more options like these pants for my two outdoor-active boys. Although I'm not a fan of convertible pants, these do better as pants or shorts than most other brands. The belt loops are too small for standard web belts though. I bought a pair for each of my son's who wear a size apart from each other (10-12/M and 14-16/L) in most brands; the L fits true to size but the M is quite a bit small.

Great pants for adventurers!
We would appreciate if these pants could be also available in husky sizes or with elastic in the waist rather than just the adjustable band.
Great Material and Style. Highly recommend for average size boys. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

My boy finally has hiking pants like his dad
My son has been begging for hiking pants like his dad's for a year now. With how quick he grows we were hesitant to spend the $ on these pants. We finally succumbed and we couldn't be happier with the purchase. They are are bit big right now but that's perfect. He can wear them so shorts thru the summer aND he'll be big enough to wear them as pants in the fall and winter.

Great Pant, Questionable Fit
We bought two of these pants for our 12 year old son (average height and weight) online. The form and function are great, and he was very excited to wear them to outdoor school. When we got them though, the fit was not good. He's normally a straight down the middle youth medium, but these were very tight around the waist and backside, and a tiny bit short. We returned them and replaced with a youth large, and they were way too long and he was swimming in them around the waist. Our friends bought the same pant (next size up) and had the same problem. Definitely plan on trying them on first!

Best outdoor adventure pant for kids!
I'm an outdoor travel writer, and my kids spend a lot of time in the outdoors. We consider a good pair of trekking pants to be crucial. The Silver Ridge Convertible is the best we've found, because the waist adjusts for our kids, who are thin and tall, and they're extremely quick-dry. We really wear out these pants, so we buy a few pairs per year.

Convertible Pant
These pants are high quality and comfortable with some stretch. My son is in-between sizes 7/8 and 10/12. I ordered a 10/12 and the pants run a little large. He'll grow into them.

Great Pants - Sons Favorite
Great quality, great fit, great function. The adjustable waist combined with generous length are perfect for a tall, thin frame. These do seem to be longer in length then other Columbia pants we own. Zip off legs are great for various activities.
