The Ferrosi Convertible 32" Pants are Outdoor Research's zip-off hiking and climbing trousers, made from the soft-shell Ferrosi fabric that made the line popular. The nylon-spandex ripstop stretches, dries fast, resists wind and light rain, and carries UPF 50+ sun protection. Zip-off legs at the knee turn them into 10-inch shorts, so one pair covers changing weather and temperature on the trail. They suit hikers, climbers and travelers who want one garment for pants and shorts. Against dedicated hiking pants they trade some durability and a bit of weight for that versatility; owners like the stretch and breathability but some find the fit and the zip-off transition less clean than fixed pants or shorts.

The lower legs zip off at the knee, turning the pants into 10-inch shorts. The legs can be stowed in a pack and zipped back on when the weather changes.
