Wore these on a 12 hour night hike this last weekend.  I liked the pockets and placement.  Unlike most convertible pants these legs are marked for left and right side as they have a bit of stitching on the outside of the knee to give them a better fit and look.  They do look better than most convertible pants because of this.  They were not tight, which is nice.  They moved well as we did a lot of climbing. The material is on the thin side, which I like a lot.  Most of the time when you hike you create a lot of heat and I have another pair of pants that feel great when you put them on but man do they get hot fast.  We were hiking in pretty cold temperatures so we wore thermals underneath.  These will be perfect for summer hikes where you want the bottoms on in the morning and at night.  The bottoms zip off pretty quick for removal.
