Initial Thoughts on the REI Co-op Women’s Sahara Convertible Pants
In the PNW a good pair of zip-off pants can come in very handy with the variety of weather we face out on the trail. I have always been skeptical that these types of pants would be uncomfortable with all of the zippers along the leg, but this was not the case with the Sahara Convertible Pants. These lightweight, comfortable pants have belt loops and an elastic waistband along the backside to help ensure a great fit. I’m also a big fan of the pockets, particularly the large zippered ones for securing small valuables.
