Good convertible hiking pants. I appreciate the zipped security pocket, which holds my cell phone. Size 8 was recommended but exchanged for size 6 (I'm 5'6" and 134 lbs). I was worried about the length but they were find (although I have a long torus).

I love these pants!!!! Perfect for hiking especially in Washington state when it can start cold, warm up, and get cold again. The fit is very comfortable I’m wearing biking shorts under them in the picture. They are super lightweight, durable, breathable, abrasion resistant, stretchy, quick drying, zipper hand pocket for security, legs zip off to 8” short, and adjustable hem. The legs zips off super easy and they are a good length I’m 5’2” to give you an idea of where they hit. I would absolutely take these with me on any hike and especially overnight hikes cause they are so universal. Put long johns under them and stay warm. These are worth every penny.

These pants are very lightweight & comfortable. I appreciate that they are made of an abrasion resistant and recycled nylon blend. I also like that they have a stretch to them and dry quickly. They are perfect for hiking in environments where you may get wet or hot and need to unzip the bottom portion. I do feel that they run a bit small and would prefer that the zip portion of the short was a bit lower on the pant so that the shorts are not so short at 8”. The pockets have a zip for security, which is appreciated on a hiking trip. The retail price of 95 seems a bit steep.

I love these pants! They fit perfectly and are very light weight. I am so excited to wear them camping with my boyfriend. I would definitely purchase another pair!

The fit of these pants is a little baggy. The material is rough and scratchy. I do believe they maybe durable with how stiff they are. The versatility looks to be easy to transition to shorts when needed. I’m not sure on the sun protection as it is winter so not much sun to be able to test it out.

So light weight . Sun protection. And comfortable . What more can a girl ask for in pants ? These aren’t what you’re expecting in a good way . They move with you, dry quickly and are simply a must have .

The quality of these pants is nice. They’re pretty light so you won’t get too hot on hikes. I like that they unzip to convert into shorts which makes them great for warmer and cooler weather. The issue that I had is if you’re more of an hourglass or pear shape they will not fit super great. They are more slim through the thighs.

I really wanted to love these pants - the color, material, and overall look was great. I could not wait to wear them on a hike. But, the sizing seemed a little off. Although the fit was fine in the waist and the lower leg/ankle area, the thigh area was extremely tight near the zipper porrion. It made them extremely uncomfortable to wear especially when sitting down. I'm not sure iif I had sized up, if this problem would be corrected or not. Therefore, I take off one star due to the fit.

I received the Marmot Arch Rock Convertible UPF 50 Pants for free in exchange for an honest review, and I couldn’t be happier with them! When I got them, I immediately thought they’d be perfect for my mother-in-law, who loves hiking and travels to all sorts of unique destinations. After trying them on, she said they were incredibly comfortable and lightweight. She wore them on a hike, and afterwards, she mentioned that they were some of the most comfortable pants she’s ever worn. The convertible design is a great feature, especially for fluctuating weather during hikes. The UPF 50 rating is a bonus, offering solid sun protection while still being breathable. Overall, we definitely recommend these pants to anyone who enjoys outdoor activities. They’re functional, comfortable, and perfect for any adventure!

These marmot pants are nice quality. At first they reminded me somewhat of the swishy pants that were popular in the 90s. Some sound but not as “swishy”. That being said they are a bit snug and no stretch. I am 5’7 and the length was great. They have a durable zipper that can make these pants turn into shorts that are of good length. It has a hidden zipped up pocket near the standard pocket at one side that is mesh lined. On the other side is a smaller pocket along with the standard pocket. They are also rated at a 50 UPF so they should be great in the sun for protection as well! These would be a great pair or hiking pants as long as your not going through thick brush and are sticking to the trails.

These pants are made well and I wanted to like them. They were a little big for me but also I couldn’t handle the way the inside feels where they zipper off into shorts. I do think that’s a great idea and these would be fantastic for hiking etc. I just have some sensory problems with the seam of the zipper.

These pants are great and versatile, the fabric is lightweight but durable and feels extremely high quality. I’m 5’10” and the inseam is perfect as it hits the top of my hiking boots, not to mention the drawstring at the ankle makes it versatile when I’m wearing thicker wool socks.

Received a pair of Marmot Women’s Arch Rock Convertible pants from Influenster and tried them on right when they arrived. They are a little bit snug but still on a weight loss journey. Looking to do a lot of hiking this spring and these pants will be very helpful. I love the option to make them tight at the ankle or to remove them at the knee to turn them into shorts. They are very comfortable and made of excellent quality material. I do love that they have sun protection as well.

These pants were made for tough terrain and will be great on my upcoming hiking trip. I appreciate the details such as the small zipper pocket to hold my keys. These pants fit well in the waist, but are a bit more narrow in the leg than I’d prefer. I hope they make them in black soon! For size reference, I am 140lb, 5’3” and wear a size 6.
