Love these pants, although they are a bit short for my 35" inseam. Finally found perfect convertible pants for hiking. They actually have a sturdy lightweight zipper so it does not feel uncomfortable, and an opening at the ankle so you do not have to stop and take your boots off to change them into shorts. They run pretty true to size, the 8 fits well but and I want to get a size 10 to have a little more room for bending and climbing but cannot find anywhere. I am sad :). I tried on about 20 pairs of other more expensive brands that were ridiculous and not made for hiking at all. Most had no Zips or Velcro at the ankle which makes no sense at all. Others had a big heavy Zipper at the knee and it was uncomfortable and ridiculous. Highly recommend I just wish they came in tall and I could find a size 10!
