- Do the legs really zip off to shorts?
- Yes. The trousers have zips above the knee so each leg converts to a short. The removed lower sections can be stowed in a pack.
- Are they waterproof?
- No. They have a water-repellent finish that handles light rain and splashes, but seams and fabric are not waterproof in sustained rain.
- How does the fit run?
- The cut is straight and fairly roomy. If you are between sizes or prefer a slim trail pant, consider sizing down.
- What are they made of?
- A blend of nylon, polyester and about 6% elastane, which gives the stretch. They are machine washable at 40 degrees.
- Are they good for hot weather?
- Yes, as shorts. The fabric is light and stretchy, though it is not the most breathable hiking fabric available.
- Can I wear them for everyday use?
- They work as casual outdoor trousers, but the knee zips and technical look make them less suited to everyday wear.
