Columbia Silver Ridge Utility Convertible Walking Trousers
Given that the word “utility” is used in the name of these hiking pants, you might expect a rugged design built to withstand both the elements and abrasive rocks surfaces, but the reality is that these are a lightweight pair of summer hiking pants. They do easily convert into shorts by zipping them off just above the knee, which as Columbia points out makes them versatile for changing weather conditions and trails, but their lightweight and breathable composition really makes them best suited for warm days, regardless of whether you go full leg or not.
