The zip-off legs saved me on a trip where the morning started cold and the afternoon hit 80 — had shorts by lunch without carrying a second pair. The fabric feels tougher than I expected for something that packs down so small.

Wore these on a muddy six-mile hike and the zip-off legs came in clutch when the afternoon warmed up — the zippers never snagged once. The fabric also dried fast after I got caught in a drizzle.

The convertible feature works fine, but the fabric feels a bit stiff and noisy when I walk. They've held up okay on a couple of hikes, though the fit runs roomier than I expected.
