Mountain Hardwear  Dynama Convertible Utility Joggers - Women's

I absolutely love these pants! The fabric is lightweight, stretchy, quick-drying, and incredibly packable — a dream for travel and hiking. I'm 5'3" and 116 lbs, and I sized down to XS (I normally wear a S, but based on the reviews I decided to go down a size, and I'm really glad I did). Small would still fit but be a little to baggy. My only minor complaint: the zip-off snap is located at the back of the knee, which makes reattaching the lower leg a bit awkward.

I love that these come in smaller size and shorter length. Very comfortable and good fit. I do wish the side pockets were a little longer to fully accommodate my iPhone

Perfect fit and excellent for my outdoor activities. Versatile and very comfortable .

I admit, I haven't tried these out on an actual hike yet but I think I'm going to be very happy with them. Pros: I love the pull on styling with a drawstring tie to adjust the fit at the waist. I'm very pear shaped and have a hard time finding pants/shorts that fit both my wide hips/thighs and slimmer waist. These seem to do the job. Also great are the pockets; two hand pockets and a cargo pocket (with secure zipper closure) on each leg. Cons: I'm on the petite side so the shorts are a bit longer than I'd like. However, if they were any shorter the cargo pockets wouldn't work (or at lest they'd be too small to be useful) so I can live with the length. I also would have preferred "normal" pants open at the ankle rather than the elasticized "jogger" style. This was obvious from the description and pictures of the pants so it wasn't a surprise. And it's obviously not a deal breaker for me, just a personal preference. One other minor thing is that the zippers for detatching/attatching the lower legs from the shorts are not color coded for left/right legs. I can easily fix that by marking them myself but color coded zippers are often found in convertible pants, just not these. Overall all though, the cons are very minor and I expect I'll be wearing these pants/shorts for years to come.
