Columbia Women’s Silver Ridge™ Convertible Full Leg Pant
Road rage, relationship anxiety, spread-sheet-induced stress; it’s nothing the view from the top of a 12,000-foot peak can’t fix. This multi-talented trekking pant will have you breathing in that healing alpine air in no time.

These pants are made of a perfect material for hiking, the only reason I would not recommend these pants is the zip off portion of these pants looked very award on my frame. I am 5'8" 130 lbs and ordered a 4, they fit wonderfully in the waste, but I hated the look and awkward feel of the zip off portion.
I do not recommend this product.

When it comes to womens technical pants I've tried them all. I'm a forest volunteer which demands a good pair of technical pants. I'm so happy to have found the Columbia's Silver Ridge Convertables (and full pants) after 10+ years of searching for comfortable/functional pants for women. I use these pants every weekend for backpacking and/or trail patrol. Nice usable pockets (womens pants usually have silly short pockets). The belt loops will accept a 1-1/2" utility belt if needby. I'm one of those who shy away from convertable pants because I find the zipper on the leg bulky and irritating in other brands, but I found the Silver Ridge convertibles to be super comfortable. I don't feel the zipper around the legs at all. The shorts are good looking and better fitting that other brand convertables. I'm tall 5' 8" and 145 lbs. I bought Size 10 Regular (Tall would be too long) and they fit like a dream with a bit of stretch to help you move across tricky terrain. The pants are really smart looking. I wear them at the office too. I love these pants so much I own six pairs of Silver Ridge pants.
I would recommend this product.

I use these pants for work. The salt and driving sand of the Gulf Coast beach is shed well by the tight weave and other features of these zip offs. The zippers are easy to use in the field. The inner waist button was not sewed on securely and was lost as soon as I put the pants on. The snaps do, however, seem strong enough for now. I will replace the button and these pants will work great through the winter shedding wind, rain, sand and salt. They dry so quickly that any stain quickly disappears with a bit of spot cleaning, even while wearing the garment.
I would recommend this product.

Long hiking pants are always a great find. I'm 5'11" and about 125, so the 4L fits perfectly. My only complaint is that they stretch out a bit during a long day (but all hiking pants do this to me!).
Great, lightweight fabric and nice little side pocket for easy access for chapstick or a camera. Zip off legs work great, the rise is neither too high or low.
Good job, Columbia.
I would recommend this product.

Lightweight, quality fabric with good pockets and convertible feature...from pants to shorts. Well made, comfortable, water resistant and will insulate you from the cold or hot temps. Perfect for our upcoming Alaska adventure when temps will be unpredictable and weather will likely be damp. Only complaint is that the pants are a little fuller in the leg than I would like.
I would recommend this product.

These pants run a size too small, so make sure to order 1 size up. (I wish Columbia would be more consistent in their sizing among their different pants styles.) Otherwise, great hiking pants with zip-off legs.
I would recommend this product.

Order one size up on the "Straight Leg" model
Posted November 2, 2012
I found ordering one size up is neccessary for only the "Straight Leg" model of Silver Ridge pants. I'm 5' 8" and weigh 145 lbs. I normally order Size 10 Regular in the Silver Ridge line, but had to order a Size 12 Regular in the Silver Ridge Straight Leg model. The Size 10's fit a little too snug to be functional.

These pants are really comfortable for hiking in. Lightweight so they can be worn when it's hot out. I don't like to wear shorts for hiking because I don't like bug bites! This is my third pair of these pants - not because they wear out. I am 5'6" and the regular length is perfect.
I would recommend this product.

I think these pants would have been a great pair of field pants, but they run a little small in relation to what I normally wear. I had to send them back because they were too tight in the thigh and I need to be able to move around alot and squat down in the woods. They looked and felt very durable though.

I got these for a trip to the Florida Keys, they are light, comfortable, packable, few wrinkles even straight from the suitcase. I could use them during the day to run around, and they were equally at home in the evenings going to dinner at the outdoor restaurants.
They run small overall, and long in the leg. I got a "short" pair, I'm 5'6", perfect length.
The reason I gave them only 4 stars is the waist on the back is too short. An extra 1" would make them much better. It's not the end of the world, I actually bought 2 of these because they are so comfortable.
I would recommend this product.

The convertible pant was of good quality. Unfortunately, I am returning it because it falls too far below my true waist and is an uncomfortable and unflattering fit that way. I purchased 2 pair of Columbia convertible pants in size small a few years ago that had a traditional true waist that was perfect for me. I would like to have the option of pants that have the traditional true waist in small, medium and large sizes rather that numbered sizes because they are more forgiving size wise. Also more petite or short sizes would be greatly appreciated.
I would recommend this product.

When I received these pants in the mail and tried them on, I was pleased with the fit and comfort, cut the tags off and packed them for my upcoming trip. Before the end of the first day both waistband snaps had broken rendering the already loose around the waist pants even looser. For over $50 a pair I expected them to last longer than one day. The fact that I was already in Hawaii with no other alternatives didn't help matters much.
I do not recommend this product.

Pants need to be tried on. I am 5'2 and weigh 118 (with a little more muscular legs). I ordered a four. They run a little long, the thigh area is a little snug and the waist runs too wide. I'm keeping the pants, because I know they will do well for the intended activities, but wish the fitting would have been more accurate.

Received this item in unopened bag, but filthy with grease or ??? stain & broken waist snap. Ordered same size as pair purchased a few years ago that fit perfectly and I love, but this new pair fit ridiculously--tight in hips & legs but huge gap in back waist. Can't believe they call it the same style! Definitely NOT up to the standard I was used to with Columbia!

Great Pants for Travel!
PostedOctober 27, 2011
Okay I know I am a bit obsessive but I absolutely love the Women's Silver Ridge Convertible Pant. I have three pairs. First of all, the colors are fabulous and go with any colored shirt. Secondly, if the weather is cool in the morning and then warms up in the afternoon - just unzip and you now have a shorts! My husband and I travel extensively and these pants are light and airy, dry quickly and hardly take up any room in the luggage. I am a size 10 (5"3") and these pants are true to size. I did take them up about one inch at the zipper. Those that sew can do this easily if need be!
I would recommend this product.

I'm so sad. These ARE flattering and comfy pants, but my results were similar to 'butterfly catcher's' - back seam stitch popped.
