Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Boys':
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.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Boys':
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.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Boys':
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.

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.

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.

With a growing boy these pants are great! When all of my son's pants become too short, these pants get one more season as shorts. Also, during those strange weather days, these are our "go to pants". In the morning my son is warm enough but, our deal is that if it gets hotter, he can zip them off and be cool in shorts.
