Gash Hao Mens Hiking Convertible Pants Outdoor Waterproof Quick Dry Zip Off Lightweight Fishing Pants

More true to size as advertised for this type of pant, as was mentioned by other reviews. Good quality and value for the price even though a bit more than other brands. We tried 4 brands and this was the best fit. Shorts are a reasonable length. Length is a bit long (needed inseam is 29) but will work well for the fishing trip to Canada. Luggage is restricted so these pants will be versatile for changes in the weather. Pockets are deep so as to not lose items into the boat or lake. One side pocket zips, other has Velcro closure. Both back pockets zipper shut. All pockets are mesh interior. Sturdy, light weight material and firm stitching. Highly recommend for hard to fit lengths.

Got these for my husband. He's 5ft 7in and weighs 200lbs his pat size is 32x34. He really liked the pants. They are light weight, water resistant but not waterproof. They are fast drying though. They are true to size. My husband said they are comfortable, he liked the fit, and really liked that they can be turned into shorts.

I am an avid hiker (writing a review under my wife's account) and have owned several hiking pants from prominent brands over the years. Usually, I wear then until they are patched and tattered. As a reference for this review, I have in mind my Prana convertible pants, which have been excellent. I am 6'1" and 175 lbs. Finding the proper length and waist on Amazon was difficult. The typical Asian small, medium, large sizes are not meant for my proportions (32 W 34 L). The Gash Hao fit very well. The fabric is stretchy and reasonably breathable. It is a bit thinner than my Prana pants, which I have found to be a bit too hot. There is some water repellency to the fabric, which I expect to wear off over time. The fabric is not prone to snagging on brush, like my Black Diamond pants. Leg was great. The leg width fits over my hiking boots. Convertible legs seem to be out of style; Prana no longer makes them. Nevertheless, I find zip-off legs convenient for changing temperatures and weather conditions over the day. The zippers are smooth and functional. The zip-off legs can be pulled over my size 13 backpacking boots, which is convenient when a quick change is needed. The hook-and-look (Velcro) closure on the right side cargo pocket is the most significant workmanship problem with the pants. Because the Velcro is not sew out to the edges, opening the closer requires two hands or complicated finger work to separate the Velcro. This is fix I can easily do at home by adding a zig-zag stich around the perimeter of each Velcro patch. The left side cargo pocket uses a zipper closure. The width of the opening is quite narrow, especially for a pleated cargo pocket. The zipper also opens by sliding it front to back, making it vulnerable to opening if the slider catches on brush. Reversing it for opening back to front would be better. I don't like elastic waist bands and the gathered elastic segments on both the left and right sides are uncomfortable. This is exacerbated because they same fabric used for the body of the pants is used for the inside of the waist band, adding to the discomfort and slipperiness. Even if the pants did fit snugly, a belt would likely be required to keep them from sliding off. I have loved the integrated belt of my Prana pants. I purchased a $4 cargo strap that serves as a lightweight belt. The belt loops of the Gash Hao pants are very large. I've used the pants on several hikes and a multi-day trip. They still look new, kind of like wearing dress pants, which doesn't fit the aesthetics of my other gear. Overall, the pants are an excellent value. The workmanship isn't as refined as other pants, but it also isn't bad. I might be concerned about consistency. Some features and improvements that I'd like to see, in order of priority. - Sew around perimeter of Velcro (Simple fix that doesn't add cost). - Softer and less slippery material on the inside of the waist band. - Wider zipper opening on cargo pocket. Also, reverse the zipper slide direction. - Draw string in the leg hem. - Sized waist band instead of elastic. Although with better waistband material, an elastic waistband may be a reasonable way to reduce the costs of manufacturing multiple sizes. Every product represents a trade-off of design and manufacturing priorities. The deficiencies I have noted do not significantly impact the overall performance. Overall, the Gash Hao are the best value hiking pants that I have purchased and are very functional.

Fits well, looks good, comfortable, durable. I wear them for hiking, they work great for it! I’ll absolutely buy again.

Waterproofing kinda fades over time, but that's how it is with any waterproof product these days. Anyways I enjoyed em, super comfortable, fits well, pockets are strong. The material is super light and you don't sweat a storm in em. I enjoyed. If this pair happens to fail me, I'd buy the same thing. Fits a need.

these are great pair of pants , the fit is good light weight, great for hospital visits can just unzip the legs to have X-rays done, i love these

The pants are good for staying dry. I first wore them on a canoe trip in the back country of the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. When water splashed on the pants, often it would just roll right off. When the pants didn't get wet, they dried off quickly. My major problem with the pants is the pockets rip easily. The front pockets are not solid, but made of a mesh material. I got a tear in the right front pocket, so I don't want to put any cash or my keys in there. The thing about the pants is they are camping pants and I don't wear them very often. So, even though the hole formed a year or two, after I purchased them, I probably only wore them 10 or less days in that time. They should not have developed a hole that quickly.

Just what I was looking for, a nice and comfortable pair of nylon pants that look good. I initially purchased a pair that I thought were sized correct for me at 38W 32L, but they were just a little too baggy. So I instantly returned and re-purchased a pair at 36W 32L and those are perfect. The fit is very comfy with just the right amount of waistband stretch, the length is also spot on. I would not hesitate to buy another pair from this seller.
