Mountain Khakis Granite Creek Convertible

WHOA BROA. These pants are great. The Mountain Khakis construction was everything I was hoping for PLUS a gusseted crotch: my favorite kind of crotch. I bought these specifically for my trip to Panama from the end of October to May of next year (I'm in Panama now). I had them shipped just three days before leaving and got them the day before flying out, not really knowing what to expect. I was prepared to send them back if the inseam on the shorts was too long. I find that SO MANY convertible pants zip off under my knee. Why on earth would I want shorts that cover my knees? My knees are one of my favorite things about myself. Anyway, so I got these in the mail and tried them on and instantly knew I was hooked. They are an odd combination of dreamily breezy and tough as nails. When convertiblized, the shorts are above my knees and my favorite pair of shorts ever. When still in pants form, the length is perfect for a pair of boots or even trainers and chacos. I do wear them with Chacos, but they get under my heel slightly, which is perfect for me because I know they aren't dragging the ground. Basically, the proportions are perfect. I am 5'11 and worried that the 30w 32l might be too short, but, in fact, they couldn't be more perfect. They fit just perfectly around my boots and really keep mud out of my shoes. I have hiked miles of jungle in these pants, during rain and sun, and know they will always be my trusty hiking pants. Or lounging pants or whatever kind of pants I might need. I regret even bringing a pair of jeans (which are too nice to just get rid of) because I'm always wearing my MK pants. They dry in a heartbeat, are cool and breezy, and feel like armor against brush or whatever else I'm clambering around in. So, yeah. I like these pants. I would also recommend them to everyone looking to buy some pants. If you aren't looking to buy pants, start looking and look no further! ....

I bought these after seeing a friend with them on a previous trip. After comparing them to my Marmot convertible's (Cruz), these are just exceptionally better on all accounts.
- Thicker than your average backpacking pants/shorts
- Better pockets (including a flat spot in each front pocket for the clip on your EDC blade)
- Zippers feel solid and tough
- Waist doesn't closet with a snap, but with a rivet button like jeans
- I wore them for 4 days of hiking in the 80's during the day, and low 30's at night. Never got smelly or looked dirty.
- They just "feel" expensive. What I mean by that is they feel, look and function like they are very high end.
- Waist size feels a bit small, but is accurate for me. I wear a 30x3 in blue jeans, and the same in these.
- Zippers inside the leg are covered over. 0 abrasion over multiple miles.
Looks like I'm officially a Mountain Khaki convert...

These pants seem to be very well made. I like the material, the construction, and the quality of stitches.
However, I could not really test it further, because the sizing is too tight!
I am usually 32x32, sometimes even 31x32. Snakes River 32x32 were to tight for me, and not only waist; the whole pants.
The next available is 34x32.
These might be good, if pricey, pants. If they fit you.
There's a some review of them:

Bought these for my dad. He wears these so often I almost need to get him a second pair. Not only are they lightweight but also incredibly breathable. We recently went abroad and on his 15 hour plane ride he said these were still super comfortable :) The fit was on the long side for him (since he is a little short) but overall the fit of the pant was great.

Freaking amazing pant, just can’t say enough good things about this company. Pants that are built to last!!!
Disclaimer: These pants are pretty thick, much thicker than the normal convertible pants I’ve owned before, I like that, good to have variety, and see where your $ is going, but still, a necessary heads up!
Fit seems true to size, slight on the smaller side, but it could just be my fat a...

Loved these pants, but the sizing is weird. Had to choose another pant because I couldn't find the right size (is a 32W 30L too much to ask for?). I'm P90X fit btw. The construction is top notch though. So, as long as you can find a pair that fits, you're good to go.
Note to Company: Don't use models from South East Asia for sizing comparisons.

These are awesome convertible pants. They are nice because they put a small piece of fabric under the zipper. This means that the annoying zipper won't rub on your thigh. They are very good quality, I've put them through hell and they seem to be holding up just fine. I really can't think of anything negative to say about these pants.

They are very nice, high quality, and very comfy. Like others said, they run a bit small. I wear a 34 normally, and they fit loose. I ordered a 36 for these pants and they fit awesome!
