Comments about Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I am currently training for a trek across Spain and I was looking for a comfortable, quick drying, light, dual purpose pant. This fits the bill just right. Comfortable from the first time I tried them on. I have gone on several training walks, longest one about two hours and not a single problem. I really like these pants. I think they will be great in the coming Texas heat and just as great in the cool weather of the coast of northern Spain.

Use the pants for light hikes and for jogging on trails. My only concern are the pockets, the mesh material will probably not stand the test of time.
Great pair of pants, now have three pairs.

Took these pants on a trip to Panama and was impressed with how they did not feel too heavy in the hot weather.

I gave these pants to my boyfriend as a gift. They fit him perfectly. He loves them. He especially likes the pockets / style of pockets. I just wish they had ankle zippers - but he did not seem to care. Good color as well.

Comments about Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Im on the skinner side and most other brands are too baggy around the legs. im 5'7 120 lbs. Columbia is prefect, not too baggy, nor is it too skinny (ive never foulnd anything that is too skinny). This one is supoer light and i use it as swimming trunks if the case arises. Also, other brands ive noticed that are geared towards the slimmer guys is arcteryx(bottoms specifically), mountain hardwear(tops, not sure about bottoms), columbia (bottoms only)

Comments about Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I got these pants for a trip to Lake Tahoe where I would be hiking and backpacking. They performed awesomely. They were very breatheable and lightweight. When they got wet, they would dry out extremely fast. There is not anything bad to say about these pants. They are a great all around option for outdoor adventures. One thing to beware of is that these pants tend to run small. Normally I am a 30 or 32 but I ended up fitting into a 36 and 38.

Comments about Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Snagged these at REI on clearence for [$] due to it being the "long" size, which I didn't mind because the length of the long keeps pebbles and dirt out of my boots! Slimmer fit than The North Face pants I also tried. Fabric isn't super high quality, but works well for casual hikes (wouldn't suggest for rock climbing). One thing I don't like is there are no vertical zippers to take the shorts off. So mid-hike if you want to change...you have to take your boots off.

Comments about Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
After a lot of research, I decided on these pants (30x30), which fit my 28" waist quite well. They are comfortable, light, packable, and--for the money-- a great zipoff pant. I use these for almost anything outdoors (mostly hiking, backpacking, climbing). You can feel them slide up your leg when lifting your thigh, which gives the feeling of restricted movement. Not that big a deal, but definitely not the greatest for climbing or other activities that require a high range of motion. I do like the slim leg fit (not like the parachute pants others have mentioned for other pants), which fit my slim profile well.
For hiking, however, these are great. The low profile waist leaves ZERO hot spots under my pack's hip pads (a must for long treks), even when accounting for the bunched up material on account of wearing a 30" pant on my 28" waist.
My other gripe is that I've had these pants outdoors for less than a dozen occassions. Normal wear in the outdoors (i.e. walking & sitting on the ground, roots, rocks, etc.) has left the stitching coming out of back pockets. The same stitching keeps the pockets closed on the bottom, so beware you don't lose small articles out the back. There was also some wear to the overall fabric in the back. Keep in mind, I'm OCD with caring for my stuff, so even while babying these, they seemed to wear prematurely.
I ended up returning mine (thanks REI membership) for another pair. Hopefully the first pair was a fluke, but if these wear as quickly, I'll go to another brand for the durability factor.
Overall though, I love these pants a lot and would definitely recommend them!
