Review of White Sierra Trail 32-Inch Inseam Convertible Pant

Customer Ratings:

Pants have a thankless job. When they perform admirably, they don't get as much as a thank you... we wad them up and toss them onto a pile of similarly stinking clothes and go on about our day... or when we are traveling, we don't even take them off. I have worn these across two continents, all of the time zones and they have been great. No rips, tears or little strings that slowly unwind the universe. The zippers are strong and function the morning after a bottle of Chianti left me LESS than functional... seriously, they endured "drunk fingers" and that deserves a special place in my laundry hamper. I wore this pair of pants for 2 weeks, hand washing them when I had access to clean water and sucking it up when I didn't. If they made a matching suit jacket with these, I would be all set for life.

Seemed to be a perfectly fine pair of pants and I'd likely have kept them, but the mesh lining on the pockets was a deal-breaker for me. I prefer pockets to have full fabric lining, not mesh. Personal preference, nothing against the product. Was able to return to Amazon for a full refund.

Best Deals for White Sierra Trail 32-Inch Inseam Convertible Pant

Good quality pants and worth the money. Pants are light weight and first appear low quality. I've used these pants on weekend backpacking trips and they have never let me down. They hold up much better than expected. The light weight material is durable and dries quickly. As for size: I am a 34 waist and ordered the medium and large. The medium fits me OK and is comfortable but is just a bit too tight. I backpacked 15 miles with no complaint. The large is a better match for my 34 waist. My suggestion is that if you are a 32 waist or smaller, go with the medium. If you are a 33 34 go with the large. If you are 35 or larger waist, forget the medium and go with the large for sure. My favorite fitting for my 34 waist is the large. The medium is a tinny bit too snug.

Forget the cheezy belt that comes with the pants. It works, but is just too flimsy and the fastner is difficult. Take the belt off and use your favorite belt instead. The pants are a bit to large at the bottom of the leg for me. It is not a problem, just a bit too big. The plus to this is that you can take the lower leg section off without removing your boots. So I guess I would complain if the legs were any smaller. Overall, I would purchase these pants again without a second thought. In fact, I just ordered another pair.

Honest reviews on White Sierra Trail 32-Inch Inseam Convertible Pant

These pants are great.

Pros:

They are super lightweight; I would say 98% of the stitching is double stitched, they have elastic sides that keep them firm on the body but not tight enough to be uncomfortable comes with a really lightweight belt that is nice as well, the horizontal Velcro strap on the leg cuffs are good for keeping the pant cuff tight to restrict access to bugs such as ticks, also would help if you plan to wear gators, or tuck them in your boots.

Cons:

Like another reviewer mentioned this: ("Vertical side zippers on cuffs allow the leg sections to slip off easily over footwear") isn't true, the cuffs on the legs have a Velcro strap that are horizontal, and not great for allowing a large boot or shoe through. Belt doesn't seem to stay as tight as you pull it, but still does a decent job.

Misc. notes: Zippers are metal; the teeth of the zipper are plastic. Haven't had an issue with them, they seem to work fine.

Over all I would recommend these pants, and plan to buy more myself.

These are an excellent lower-cost alternative to more expensive offerings from North Face, Columbia et al. The pant legs zip on and off relatively easily. The fabric is very light, definitely three season pants. Construction is solid and appears high-quality. I have thick legs, but the "shorts" were perfect, not too tight. My only complaint is that the lower pant legs are a bit too baggy for my tastes, and this is coming from someone with tree trunk legs. In any case it is no impediment to their function on long hikes, which is perfect. If you are in the market for this sort of garment, you should give these a try, especially at this price.
