RevolutionRace Men’s RVRC GP Pro Zip-Off Convertible Pants - Durable & Ventilated Outdoor Hiking Pants for Camping, Travel & Adventure Activities

I recently wore these pants on an 8 day backpacking trip and they held up very well. They seem to be a great alternative to my Fjallraven pants that are had began tearing at the seams after only 1 season of backpacking.The sizing: I read the reviews and sized up from XL to 2XL and I'm a 36x34 in pants, 6'3", 230 lbs. The pants fit well and there is enough elastication in the waist belt that I could see someone with a 35 waist or up to a 38 fit fine. I guess if you are two sizes up or down then size up/down accordingly. I'm also a big guy...not skinny but not fat. The leg room was good and I didn't feel like I was wearing skinny pants thankfully. I have very large calves and they fit as well. The inseam length was also good and I was not wearing high waters when I sat down.Features: The 3 zippered front pockets were all very usable and the zip off legs also worked just fine. Good quality all around, however, I'm not a big fan of the button snap ankles. It's doubtful I'll use them ever but the cuff did just fit over my backpacking boots. I run 7 year old Salomon Quest 4D boots and was happy the pants fit over them. It would be really nice to see side vent zippers just about the knees to let out heat when hiking. This is a feature of my Fjallraven's and I use them a lot.Overall: I'd buy them again for sure. In fact I bought a 2nd pair. If they outlast my Fjallraven Keb Trousers which I can tell they will I'll be happy and have spent less than half the price. I'm glad there are good alternatives out there and these fit the bill nicely. I did rub Greenland wax into the legs and heated it in with a blow dryer and that added a nice water resistance to the cotton material.In summary I'm very happy with the pants and I will definitely buy more. We'll see how the current 2 hold up over the next year of backpacking.
