Use these convertible pants for hiking. They are suitable for both men and women. The pants convert to 10-inch inseam shorts. There are six pockets for storage, including secure cargo pockets on each leg, flap-closure pockets in back, and two hand pockets. The mesh pocket bags allow air to flow. There is a gusset detail at the crotch seam for comfort and utility loops for carabiners or other small tools.
