When every gram counts, when every item has to fight for backpack space, you need the Women’s Exploration Reg Straight Convertible Pant. Made with a stretchy nylon/elastane blend, these pants stand up to day after day of wear and the challenges of steep switchback trails. A non-PFC durable water-repellent finish makes quick work of light showers. But perhaps their best feature is versatility: Roll up the hem for mid-morning ventilation. In the afternoon, you can zip off the legs at mid-thigh to create shorts. In the evening, you can convert them back to pants. Finally, this exploration essential has grosgrain belt loops, mesh-lined pockets and a zip-fly with a snap closure.
