Description of Spyder 3/4 Convertible Pant - Women's:
It's a cool summer morning. Pull on the Spyder Women's ¾ Convertible Pants. Now it's hot. Zip off the lower legs and convert these capris to shorts before you succumb to a massive sweat attack. Wait, now it's sprinkling. No worries—the ¾ Convertible Pants' four-way stretch nylon has a water-repellent finish. How's that for versatility?
Bottom Line: Adjust to warm and cool temps with Spyder's ¾ Convertible Pants.
These are the most FUN capris/shorts that I own! I followed the advice from the 1 review (thank you, thank you) and ordered the Medium, even thought I'm usually a 4-6. The fit is GREAT! Not only is there elastic in the waist but there is also a drawstring. I love the elastic in the cuffs of the capris. There is slanted stitching (the same color as the pants) on the knees that looks neat... not sure if it's decorative or if it's for wear-and-tear prevention. And instead of an R & L to show you which leg goes where, the left zipper is hot pink & the right is gray... how fun! I plan to wear these as long as I can through pregnancy (I'm not in maternity yet). My favorite purchase from Backcountry yet!
First order of business, order one size up from your normal size. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6 and I got the small and could stand the medium. It works but it's a little snug when I first put it on. But this is so unique that I love to wear these. They are a Bermuda short/convertible capri. They hit right below the knee and have a cut cinch. I love to hike, ride my bike and hang out at home with these. I suspect that I'll be wearing these a lot this summer.
