          I have purchsed several pair of these for my sons as they become Boy Scouts. They really like the ability to zip off as the day heats up.

              I have worn these pants literally around the world. These are about the only pants I pack when I do not have to take a suit. They take a beating and I have a few pairs that are 4 years old and have only minor repairs caused by operator error. All in all still great pants in good shape.

              Only con is that the newest fabric they are using attracts dog hair and holds on to it like crazy. Who would have thought?

                Purchased for my teenage son as a second pair of green pants for scouting. He also wears them to the rock climbing gym because they are comfortable and convert easily to shorts.

                  Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Boys':

                  These pants are great, especially in the Timberline color as they double as pants for a Boy Scout Uniform. BSA has moved to Switchbacks and they cover boys from ages 11-18 with S, M, L, and XL. My son is tall and thin and unlike the Switchback pants these have standard size ranges and even have the hidden elastic sizer in the waistband. These are well built and he really likes the zipper on the inseam so you do not have to remove your hiking boots to convert to shorts. Great job. Can I get a pair in 36" x 36" ?

                  Service and delivery comments:

                  Very nice delivery as projected.

                    I bought 2 pairs of these pants for my son on a scout backpacking trip. They were wonderfull! It kept him warm (summer season) in the evenings and early mornings and in the heat of the day he could zip off the pant legs and make them shorts. The zippers held up and the material allowed me for easy cleaning with no stains. Definitely a must for backpacking where weight is crucial.

                    These are our go-to pants for Boy Scouts. They are durable and look great despite abuse from boys while camping!

                    Features we love: the hidden adjustable waist; color-coded zip off legs (which can be taken off without taking off shoes, unlike some convertible pants); trim and streamlined profile (official BSA pants are a baggier, less flattering fit).

                    Wish list: Pants are really long for the size they are marked; wish navy blue was offered as an option for Cub Scouts.

                      Went hiking with these pants in Shenandoah in late April. They were good pants for hiking, and were comfortable. Only con is that they are not very breathable. Good pants overall, and I recommend buying them.

                      We take our 8 y.o. backpacking for 4-5 days at a time, these pants are a must have for the versatility. When it's hot out he can wear shorts and easily switch to pants when trudging through the back country. The color coded zipper makes it easy for him to get the legs back on, even in low light. The adjustable waist for our slender guy makes for a custom fit.

                      He is average height and they were a little long last year but fit perfectly this year. Will have to replace them next year but will be handing them down to a cousin since they are wearing very well. We go hiking or biking almost every weekend and he practically lives in these pants, and they still look like new.

                      As a mom with 2 boys, I love that the fabric weight and convertible aspect make these pants virtually year-round for our weather down South!

                      I can't attest to durability yet, but my boys think they are very cool with all the zipper options.

                      I gave them 4 stars only because they are so generously sized. Admittedly, my boys are petite, but these seem long and generous in the stride, waist and length. I'm keeping the S (8) for my 10 1/2 y.o. and exchanging the XS (6/7) for a size XXS (4/5) for my 8 y.o.

                        My son has several pairs of these pants and I am getting additional in preparation for summer camp. They go through messy camping trips and clean up beautifully. They dry quickly and they can be worn throughout the entire year, which means I do not have to buy seperate pants for cold weather campouts and shorts for the summer camps. With the adjustable waist, he is able to just add layers underneath in the winter and then he is able to tighten up in the summer and zip off the lower leg. A really incredible value for any hiker and camper.
