Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Women's:

Buy a size smaller. Great for longer legs! Fabric de-wrinkles quickly. Style is less about "slimming" and more about really serious use hiking and backpacking with useable pockets that don't cause the pant leg to get too tight or limit your movement. No waist issues between pants and pack either, a common issue for me with trendy lower waist styles. I almost bought men's pants this time because they tend to have more pocket room, but these are the BEST! 100% great!

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Women's:

Love these pants. They do seem to run a little big in size so you may want to think about one size smaller. They are very roomy and allow me to climb with comfort. The legs zip off very easily when you want to go to shorts, and I justt can't say enough good things about these pants. I wish they came in more colors though :)

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Women's:

The pant leg was huge on this pants such that it looked like there was a balloon of material around my thighs.

I am normally a 0 or a 2 in petite (5' 1", 110 pounds) but I suspect this is the design of the pants. The waist fit mine though so maybe its good for folks with small waists.

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Women's:

I bought 2 pairs of these yesterday. I had previously purchased a pair of the recent regular Shasta convertible pants with the lower rise. They did not work well due to having to tug the pants up all the time. With this new "retro" version, that problem is gone. These are lightweight, durable, have great pocket quantity & placement, and the belt allows you to keep them in place and not have to make adjustments.

I went hiking today with a pack and not once did I have to tug at the pants to keep them in place. They stay in place! The legs are really roomy - might be too roomy for some, but for me it give greater range of use with a variety of footwear & hiking boots. I used the new features on the lower leg where the lower sides also zip open and found that when I was ready to remove the bottoms it was super easy to do so while standing. Nice improvement and also like the smart color coding for the right & left leg zippers.

The waist seems enormous, but the belt keeps them in place. I may sew in a few darts to make the waist a more appropriate fit so it does not bunch up.

Overall these are fabulous, with the only issue for me being the over-sized waist.

Walking trails

Comments about REI Sahara Convertible Pants with No-Sit Zips - Women's:

These are great looking pants for hiking, and they are comfortable, lightweight and stylish with the zippered legs, but they are not durable. I took them out on one hiking trip with rock scrambling, and I got holes in the butt from scrambling along the rocks. REI did take them back though, without hesitation, which I appreciated. Great for plain walking trails and recreational hiking, but not for any real heavy hiking trails with rock scrambling.
