Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Convertible Pants - Women's:

I have gone backpacking for the last several years. Usually I am on the JMT or PCT so the trails are pretty clear and I am not going through brush so my little yoga pants have always been just fine (I'm not one to spend money on new items unless I HAVE to).
After a short overnight in the Los Padres Wilderness, and going through brush, losing the trail and walking through water here and there, I decided it was time to break down and get some hiking pants.
These were awesome! I opted for the convertible pants in case I wanted to unzip the pant part and go for the shorts when I got too hot but these were so light and breathable that I never had to unzip at all! I wore them on a 33-mile, Ojai to Fillmore trip this past April. It was HOT (high 80s/very low 90s)! The trail wasn't clearly cut in some areas so, again, we were walking through brush. I was so relieved that I had these pants when I found two ticks stuck to the material of the pant legs (their legs were stuck in the actual fibers) and again when I got home and came to the realization that I had no cuts on my legs from branches! The pants dried quickly after they were wet from creek crossings and did not show sweat (well, none that I noticed anyway).
There was room in the waist and belt loops if needed. I am 5'7" and loved the length...covered the tops of my boots but didn't hit the ground.
The only negative is that I have bigger legs and the pants were a little snug where the zipper is that separates the pant leg from the short. It wasn't really a problem when I was hiking but when I was squatting or climbing, I could feel the restrictions against my thighs in that area. All you would have to do is one little squat in the fitting room at REI to see if this will be a problem for you :) I think for my next pair, I will just opt for a pair of pants that I can roll up instead of worrying about the zipper option to convert them into shorts. But, as I said earlier, I won't be spending money until I have to so these pants are working just perfectly for the time being!

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Convertible Pants - Women's:

These pants are really comfortable (stretch and soft fabric) and flattering on my boxy figure. I'm 5'3" and about 118 lbs and got a size 4, which fits great. Usually I wear a petite or short in pants, but this is just right on me.

The legs are not baggy like many similar pants, which makes them much easier to walk in and look better. You can cinch in the bottom of the legs to sit anywhere on your calf, which is a nice feature.

The zippers end/start in a spot that makes it a little hard for me to reattach the bottoms while wearing the pants but that's a minor problem for me.

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Convertible Pants - Women's:

These are great hiking pants. They have a fairly slim leg, so they avoid the balloony look I often notice in hiking pants, especially the convertible ones. They're lightweight, dry very quickly--I once had them stuffed into a rubber boot filled with creek water for an extended period of time during an ill-fated canoe excursion, and they dried out afterward in about 10 minutes. The only thing I don't like about them is that you have to take your shoes off to remove the pant leg. It's annoying, but I guess that's the price of avoiding the balloon-leg effect.

Sizing note: I'm 5'4", ~130 lbs., and usually wear a 6 pant size. I tried these in a 6 and an 8. Both fit, but I decided to go with the 8 so I could layer underneath it in colder weather.

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Convertible Pants - Women's:

I love these pants! The material is so soft it feels like I am wearing sweatpants! I do agree with the other review about the zip off seam is tight when sitting or bending but it does not bother me so much that I would return them.
I usually wear a petite or short length in pants (I am 5'2") but these are regulars and have some extra fabric but are not too bothersome for me. The straight cut of the leg is a nice change from the usual hiking pant that is wider.

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Convertible Pants - Women's:

I really liked the material and the overall fit of the pant except for one major problem. The seam for the zipper that attaches the bottom leg to the top was non- stretch causing the pant to be too tight with any climbing motion. It was unfortunate since I really liked the style but ending up returning the pants because that area just wouldn't stretch to accomodate movement.
