Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
On a whim, I purchased these pants to wear under my motorcycle pants, which are heavy, armored, and not really for walking around. When I arrive someplace for an extended period of time (say over an hour), I want to take off my motorcycle stuff in public, without exposing myself.
Someone suggested these pants for a couple of reasons. In winter, they can be used as a base layer (or even a second layer wearing long technical wear under them). In summer, I can use them as shorts. These pants work perfectly. They don't absorb sweat, which keeps me warmer in winter and cooler and summer. They are constructed like what I expected from REI. As someone mentioned, you kind have to guess as which leg is which when putting them back on.
The inseams seems a bit long, but that's good for someone riding a motorcycle.
And these pants are perfect for backpacking and hiking. I often ride to a trailhead, pull off my motorcycle jacket and pants, and pull the pack off the back of my bike and head off on a trail. Well, these pants allow me to do this quickly and without much trouble.
I love 'em!

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
It's a bit too early to give a fair review. I am from Oz & live in Hong Kong, so have normally hiked in shorts. First started thinking about longs in advance of a trip to Cambodia (mozzies - now done in Jan-10), and also climbing Kinabalu During Easter hols. [...] and still looking forward to Kinabalu. Have read other reviews - agree zippers could be more robust, given what is available in market, don't see problem with L & R leg mix-up (man, sew a label - otherwise see which way the weather flaps are faced). But otherwise look good and feel comfortable. Good fit from ordering table. Good pocket space. Will write up post-Kinabalu. Cheers

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
I bought these before a backpacking trip to Europe. I was very impressed with the performance of them.
Pro's:
- Very lightweight.
- Roll up well and don't take up much room in your pack.
- Provides perfect amount of warmth in the chilly mornings. When the sun comes out, just zip off the bottoms and you've got some really comfortable shorts.
- Easy to zip off after a few practices.
Con's:
- There's no way of telling which legging goes on which side. Basically just have to go by trial/error when zipping them back on.
- The velcro pockets on the side are very handy, but my velcro came loose on the 4th day and was held on by one corner of thread.
- They're a little goofy looking worn as pants, real baggy in thigh area, but convert to good shorts.
Overall, I was very impressed and continue to wear them around the house and outdoors on hot summer days.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
Got these pants for a 6 day rafting/hiking/camping trip in the Grand Canyon. Wore them 5 of the 6 days. Very easy to detach and rezip the legs on the pants. Kept me dry from the waves and cool in the sun because they're very lightweight.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
These pants are great for hiking and camping. They are nice and lightwieght, dry quickly, have plenty of pockets, durable, and don't hold wrinkles. The shorts are also slightly longer then other brands I've looked at.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
I have used the REI and Ex-Officio lightweight converts on trips that include over 250 days in the backcountry of the Quetico Park in Ontario. Which is not enough, I know! The REI product, in my opinion, is as good as the others, based on price and quality. The Ex-Officio may have slightly better quality, but hard to quantify. They all take a beating with the way I wear/use the them. Over time, every pair of converts I have had, have developed zipper problems. I see that as wear and tear.
My problem, specifically with the REI Sahara's position for the multi-tool on the the hip. Which, within itself is perfect. The problem is in how belt on the Sahara has to be fished through the pant each time the fixed sheath of the multi-tool comes on and off. I prefer not to sleep with a leatherman on my hip. Not very comfy. I have modified/sewed a loop with a clip onto the belt. So, it's fine now.
Other than that issue, the Sahara's are very functional, and couldn't imagine heading into the wilderness without them.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
I just bought my second pair. I've had the first pair for about two years, and yes, the zipper was temperamental. They seem to have fixed this problem on the new pair, and now these pants are simply a lightweight, low maintenance pleasure to wear.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
I loved it these pants! One of the days on a canoeing/portaging trek through the boundary waters for a week and a half I changed pants. I couldn't believe the difference in how fast they dried, how warm they were, how breathable they were vs the [...] version of the same. Amazing outdoor ware! Will buy another pair before I head out again!!!

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
I use these pants on day hikes and fishing trips. I tend to be the type that babies my equipment and clothing. The advantages of these pants is that they are lightweight and comfortable. However the material used to make them is just not up to the light beatings that I did with them. The most I really do with them is sit on rocks after long hikes. But after maybe 25 hikes, they've ripped already. Also, the zippers are not very smooth and tend to get caught on both pairs that I own.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Men's 32" Inseam:
I love these things, I have two pair and am going to get a 3rd. Easy to care for, great fitting and light. When I travel a pair of these always go with me because of the their versatility. A couple drops of Dr. Bronners and a sink + a couple hours and you have washed clothes.
