Nice fit and great weight. They arrived quickly, but it was not until I was out on a 7 day backpack that I discovered they had been assembled incorrectly. The zippers are supposed to be on the leg sections and the pull tabs have little tags for right and left. Mine had the zippers on the shorts. More annoying than anything else, but the pull tabs do not do much good since any adult knows which leg is the right and which is the left. I called Columbia to let them know they had a QC problem and was told that they do not warranty their clothing (except jackets) Not a big deal as I had already marked the legs with a sharpie but I was not real happy to learn that they do not stand behind their products. Also, the woman I talked to had a real hard time understanding what was wrong even though I emailed a picture. Too bad. . . I will probably not buy Columbia again

These pants are the best for traveling, they are so comfortable for sitting in a plane for 10 to 12h, all the pockets are great for holding plane tickets, passports and such. . . They take no space in your bag. They are also excellent for wearing in very hot weather being so light and breathable and when you wash them they are dry in no time. They are great for hiking or just hanging out on weekends.
They are convertible so legs can be unzipped and they become great shorts.
Highly recommended.

I have two of these pants and have worn them from on and off trail hikes to white water rafting and have loved them so far. They have made it through a lot of heavy brush and still are holding up well, and they dry within 15-20 minutes. They are very light and feel great in the warm summer weather of Florida.
