The perfect backpacking pant features zip-off leg configuration giving you two distinct looks without taking up extra baggage space. Mountain Hard Wear's Convertible Pack Pants are perfect travel companions under partly cloudy skies or in regions where nippy mornings serve up sunbaked afternoons. Unlike most convertible travel pant designs this one has reinforced seat and knees, making it better suited for trekking in isolated areas where tailors rarely tread. The seamless conical waist is chamois-lined, so it feels better than most traditionally cut backpacking pants, especially if you're bearing a heavy pack.
