      Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Men's 30" Inseam:

      Have had two pairs of these over the last few years. Both have had failed stitching. The first pair lasted for about two years but eventually, the pocket stitching failed, thankfully I noticed because my wallet was on the ground as I was walking around town. Second pair, which I owned for only about 6 months failed in the rear seam.

      Have to say, I'll be purchasing a different brand. REI quality control/workmanship is abysmal these days.

          I wear these on weekly hard core (8-12 mile)hikes. No complaints or problems. Like the 'no sit' zip off legs.

              I wear these pants everyday. I would wear them to work if it were allowed. They are comfortable and the best all-purpose pant for the coastal climate of California. I hope REI never changes the design too much because I need a go-to pant forever.

                Best feature is No Sit Zips. Pockets are good.Belt is a little lacking but did not buy them for that. Did drop a few items from the front pockets while sitting/squating around camp. Just moved those items to the side pocket and no problem. Better fit and wear than my bsa switchbacks. Wore them five straight days on the Foothills Trail. Very satisfied.

                  Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Men's 30" Inseam:

                  I've had this version of REI's convertible hiking pants for a while now, and they're just as good as the previous pair I've had for over 5 years. It seems like a lot of people complain about them vs. older versions, but I hike almost every weekend throughout Colorado and have had no issues. The great thing about REI is that if you do have problems, you can always return them. I definitely recommend these pants.

                    These pants have passed the test and will be my primary pants at the beginning of my thru hike of the AT. Time will tell how well they last.

                      My husband is a double amputee and these pants are and have been what he now wears on a daily basis. They have the long side zip and detachable features which were great for rehab and prostethic fittings. The long side zip makes it possible for him to adjust his legs as needed during the day quickly and descreatly. I wish they came in more color selections and a heavier fabric for winter.
