Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pant - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Best UGLY Pants You'll Own   08-13-08   

First off, why do you buy "convertibles"? For comfort, convenience, space-saving!!! I have several pairs of convertibles, 2 pair of MHW Mesa's. Overall, they're my 2nd fav's. Admittedly the MHW pants are kind of ugly style-wise, but have heaps of functionality! Which is why I bought them. I have several reason for picking convertibles. First I don't vacation, I "travel", and multi-tasking accessories are a must. I load my travel-pack for a journey of a week or several months with 2 pair of convertibles - one light and one dark coloured - that way I have 2 pr pants and 2 pr shorts. This type of pant also works well in my casual-dress work environment of mountian tourism between Apr and Nov, when early mornings or late evenings may require warmer leg covering than midday shorts can provide. My MHW Mesa's are slightly different from these being offered, no cargo pockets, which is just fine with me - I hate cargo pockets, they get caught on things when you are scrambling up a mountain or breaking trail through the jungle. Big Thumbs Up: the chamois lining from waist to hip - makes carrying even a belted knapsack sightseeing all day better. The crotch gusset makes for unobstructed movement climbing or scrambling. Legs zip on/off easily when you want to "convert". Some pluses not in the description: - Leg openings large enough to get on/off over full size hiking boots. - Cuffs have bungee draw-strings to cinch pants tight to boots and keep out all the creepy-crawly things! As I said, the MHW Mesa's are my 2nd fav's. My #1 pants have all the functionality and qualities of the MHW Mesa plus have better style - hard to tell even up close that they are zip-offs - but they aren't made anymore and I was down to just one surviving pair so I picked up the Mesa's.
