The Men's Exploration Convertible Pants from The North Face are classic year round hiking pants that are extremely versatile making them ideal for a huge range of activities. Lightweight & stretchy they offer excellent freedom of movement & the zip at each thigh allows the lower half of the pant legs to be removed to create shorts for those super warm days. If thats too much then you can simply just roll up the hem of the pants to create 3/4 length trousers. There are plenty of zipped pockets to keep your essentials secure & the fabric offers UPF 50+ protection to keep your skin safe on long days in the outdoors.
