Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Women's Tall:
Okay, so I bought these on clearance at my local REI for less than half the price so I feel like I got a steal! Mine are the khaki color.
The pants are lightweight and flexible so they work well for hiking in mildly cool weather. I used mine for a 5-mile hike at Big Bear, but unfortunately I wasn't too prepared for the snowfall this past weekend Nov 5, 2011 so I wore my Salomon leggings underneath to stay warm. The temperature was about 30-32 degrees and without the leggings underneath, I would've froze in these pants! Don't hold that against them, they are made to be lightweight.
I am not a Tall person (5'6) but I like some clothing to fit well over my Northface Jannu GTX hiking boots so I like the extra length and the ability to open up the bottom for more shoe coverage. The snap bottom has two buttons on each leg so you can adjust the width of the leg opening.
One thing that my pants don't have, that the description above lists, are the side zippers running down the length of the leg. Now I double checked my tags and they say that my pants are indeed the Sahara Convertible in Tall but I'm guessing mine are an older model (that's probably why they were on clearance), but I'm cool with that because I still think they are awesome pants. I haven't had to convert them into shorts yet but they appear to do so pretty easily.
Service and delivery comments:
I purchased these inside the REI CO-OP in Manhattan Beach and the service was excellent as usual. There were plenty of sizes to choose from and the fitting rooms were tidy.
