Columbia’s Silver Ridge Convertible hiking pants for men are a great choice for the active hiker who wants long pants that easily and quickly convert into shorts for warmer weather. The Columbia pants strike a balance between price and functionality, coming in cheaper than some of the other similar products out there, but still offering a great product.

The pants have a UPF rating of 50, so they’ll keep your skin protected in sunshine. Omni-Wick technology helps keep you cool and dry, too.

In addition to the zippers just above the knee, these pants have several other great features. They’re made from durable fabric, so they’re not likely to wear out even after hard usage. They have a zip-close security pocket for safekeeping, plus side pockets with a hook and loop closure for stashing an item like a pair of keys. The pants have an elastic waistband for further comfort.

The Silver Ridge pants come in a wide variety of colors, so it’s easy to find something that fits your wardrobe. Options include Grey Ash, Tusk, Delta, Pond and more — most are neutral, natural tones.

In all, the Silver Ridge pants fit well, perform well and have a number of important functions. It’s all a great buy for the price.
