jsharr ★ Posted November 22, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2017 I wear them almost every weekend for Scouts. Often wake up and need full pants but by noon, it is nice to have shorts. I love them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

az_cyclist Posted November 22, 2017 Share #12 Posted November 22, 2017 I never had a pair. Do they attach with velcro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a pair years ago, but the material was too heavy, so they always felt hot. I was recently re-gifted a pair of convertible pants that fit well. I kind of like them, but kind of wish they weren't convertible. That may change if/when they prove their utility, I try to keep an open mind.

The pants came from Banana Republic back in the eighties, if that means anything. They still had some short shorts in the eighties. I actually liked them short, styles change but the idea of shorts was to get rid of hot long legged pants so what's with the below the knee jobs they have out now?

I wore them out so I got good use out of them. I just never bought another pair. I would expect to see Columbia Sportswear to have some now days.
