Gash HaoMens Hiking Convertible Pants Outdoor Waterproof Quick Dry Zip Off Lightweight Fishing Pants

I'm 6'2 255, sz 42 a bit tight but the waist stretches a bit so its ok just not super comdy, length fine, material seems ok, zipper for shorts was a bit tough, mayne wax would help. I prefer slighrly deeper fron pockets, also cargo pock a bit small imo. $39 for what they are seemed a bit pricey to me for what thry are but I'm cheap and even $22 jeans seems a lot to me. They'll be fime for my summer camping/adventures. If you big and tall like me these are one of the few companies that offers you something that'll fit ok. Solid 4 stars!

This is the fourth pants that I get from this seller. The product is great, delivers the features as expected and are supper comfortable. The ones I got before are still good as new, I just needed a new one as as I forgot them back home. I am planning a Hike over the weekend so I decided to get this pair as I know they deliver as expected and with rainy days in North Caroline a real waterproof product is needed.

I am an avid hiker (writing a review under my wife's account) and have owned several hiking pants from prominent brands over the years. Usually, I wear then until they are patched and tattered. As a reference for this review, I have in mind my Prana convertible pants, which have been excellent.I am 6'1" and 175 lbs. Finding the proper length and waist on Amazon was difficult. The typical Asian small, medium, large sizes are not meant for my proportions (32 W 34 L). The Gash Hao fit very well.The fabric is stretchy and reasonably breathable. It is a bit thinner than my Prana pants, which I have found to be a bit too hot. There is some water repellency to the fabric, which I expect to wear off over time. The fabric is not prone to snagging on brush, like my Black Diamond pants.Leg was great. The leg width fits over my hiking boots.Convertible legs seem to be out of style; Prana no longer makes them. Nevertheless, I find zip-off legs convenient for changing temperatures and weather conditions over the day. The zippers are smooth and functional. The zip-off legs can be pulled over my size 13 backpacking boots, which is convenient when a quick change is needed.The hook-and-look (Velcro) closure on the right side cargo pocket is the most significant workmanship problem with the pants. Because the Velcro is not sew out to the edges, opening the closer requires two hands or complicated finger work to separate the Velcro. This is fix I can easily do at home by adding a zig-zag stich around the perimeter of each Velcro patch.The left side cargo pocket uses a zipper closure. The width of the opening is quite narrow, especially for a pleated cargo pocket. The zipper also opens by sliding it front to back, making it vulnerable to opening if the slider catches on brush. Reversing it for opening back to front would be better.I don't like elastic waist bands and the gathered elastic segments on both the left and right sides are uncomfortable. This is exacerbated because they same fabric used for the body of the pants is used for the inside of the waist band, adding to the discomfort and slipperiness. Even if the pants did fit snugly, a belt would likely be required to keep them from sliding off.I have loved the integrated belt of my Prana pants. I purchased a $4 cargo strap that serves as a lightweight belt. The belt loops of the Gash Hao pants are very large.I've used the pants on several hikes and a multi-day trip. They still look new, kind of like wearing dress pants, which doesn't fit the aesthetics of my other gear. Overall, the pants are an excellent value. The workmanship isn't as refined as other pants, but it also isn't bad. I might be concerned about consistency.Some features and improvements that I'd like to see, in order of priority.- Sew around perimeter of Velcro (Simple fix that doesn't add cost).- Softer and less slippery material on the inside of the waist band.- Wider zipper opening on cargo pocket. Also, reverse the zipper slide direction.- Draw string in the leg hem.- Sized waist band instead of elastic. Although with better waistband material, an elastic waistband may be a reasonable way to reduce the costs of manufacturing multiple sizes.Every product represents a trade-off of design and manufacturing priorities. The deficiencies I have noted do not significantly impact the overall performance.Overall, the Gash Hao are the best value hiking pants that I have purchased and are very functional.

I mainly us these for kayaking and I absolutely loved them. I use them when it's cool and then go to the shorts and back to the long pants when my leggs start burning. They are still cool when it gets hot on the water

I am in that in-between size group (33 inch waist). I took a chance on the 32 Inch and am not disappointed. Time will tell if they are everything advertised. But for now, I am pleased.

I love how lightweight they are and the pockets are fairly deep. The only dislike is the zipper on the left leg goes in the opposite direction so if you want to just have them halfway zipped for air the left leg is pretty much off whereas the right leg your able to only go halfway for air.

I like mine so much I bought a second pair. Legs come off easily and go back on pretty easily. Very lightweight. Legs fit in cargo pouches and are not bothersome when walking.

Title says it all. Love the product but it took weeks to get this color where other 2 colors ordered arrived in just a couple days.
