But just on the off chance, did you try the Columbia Silver ridge. They are lightweight and quick drying. They have all the necessary pockets and zips and they are the most comfortable pants i have.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-10512255900661855842010-05-10T16:30:12.298+01:002010-05-10T16:30:12.298+01:00I got a pair or Cragghoppers Kiwi convertibles to ...I got a pair or Cragghoppers Kiwi convertibles to do the Inca Trail in many moons ago. They have seen better days now so I'm looking at getting another pair.

However my old Mountain Hardwear Convertible Pack Pants were comfortable when new - the zips never rubbed at all so there was no need for the join to soften.Chris Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282926597863688874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-80108168988315267182010-05-05T15:49:19.062+01:002010-05-05T15:49:19.062+01:00Chris, I don't know whether you find the same ...Chris, I don't know whether you find the same but I think zip-offs are one of the hardest things to assess when new, because that's when the join between upper and lower sections is at its most abrasive Over time, with wear and washing, it can soften and become less of an irritant.<br /><br />My favourites are still an old pair of Maine I picked up on the cheap (T K Maxx) where the join DBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-15209979937333506162010-05-04T23:51:38.826+01:002010-05-04T23:51:38.826+01:00Convertible Trousers: Rohan appear to have stoppe...Convertible Trousers: Rohan appear to have stopped the Convertible Goas, which were the only ones that suited me last time round. They seem to have the long (33") leg version in a clearance sale for £18.59.
