As far as convertible pants go these are a bit more stylish and much more comfortable for a women's shape....although they are not a true "low rise" the fit is more like a longer board short with a higher waist band. I agree that you should go up in size I am a 6-8 and the 10 fits just right (I estimate about a 29 inch lower-rise waist which is normally about an 8) . I really like the fact that the shorts are shorter than most pants of this kind and the nice little buttoned strap to make the pants into capris is a great option. Overall much more versatile and fashionable than all the other convertible pants I tried on at REI patagonia and the local camping store....but still not quite the style of a great off trail low-rise pant! This being said....with all my other convertible pants I ONLY wore them when I was in a very remote location without many people to see their baggy butt and ugly high waters and waist but with these pants...I will likely wear them for local hikes and on trips with light packing needed!

These pants do live up to the rave review. I purchased the pants for hiking trips in Switzerland. The pants are stylish. The length is a bit on the short side as many people have commented but it's not too noticeable. What I like the most about the pants is how dirt resistant it is. My companion's pants turned green after sitting on the grass for lunch whereas mine stayed clean for the entire trip of 2 weeks sitting on grass rocks dirt...you name it. The material is durable and light. In regard to the fit I am 5'5" about 122 lbs. I ordered a size 8 (one size up) but turned out too big. I exchanged for a size 6 which was still a bit too lose but I didn't have time for another exchange. I just used the Hopefully this will give you an idea of what size to look for. Altrec has great exchange policy and the delivery is really quick. Overall fantastic pants - stylish and live up to the standards. Ahh and the great discount offered by Altrec is icing on the cake.

used these on the inca trail for 4 straight days and in the amazon. dried easily. good in cold wet or warm weather. great fit length perfect at one size larger than my normal. endured better than convertibles by a popular aussie brand that my fellow travellers wore.

These pants are great they are lightweight fit great they have a drawstring and snap waist with belt loops could you ask for more? Lots of pockets and the pant bottoms roll up and have a button loop so you can wear them like capris or zip them off and wear the shorts! You will not be disappointed with these pants great for travel hiking camping you name it!

These pants met all my exspectations. They fit true to size and zip off to nice flattering length. The internal drawstring waist is also nice so you can adjust where you want the pant to ride on the true waist or lower on the hip. Very comfortable....love um...!
