I had written that the pants fit my husband like balloon pants.  IGNORE THAT COMMENT (as those pants came from a different on-line site).  The Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants that I bought on-line from Amazon fit my husband perfectly.  He wore them to a Barbecue and stated that he was cool in them, as it was quite hot that day, and at night, when the temp started to go down a bit, he was quite comfortable.  He loves that he can zip off the bottom legs and remain in shorts.  I can say that they wash beautifully - just don't put fabric softener in the water (it stated this on the label).
