For years I've avoided pants that convert into shorts for one reason: I don't want to look like a dork. Then, this box from Mountain Khakis shows up with a pair and I thought, what the heck, I might as well try them.
Boy, was I in for a surprise. Not only do I not look like a dork, but these pants/shorts are technical, feel great, and perform even better. From rock climbing and hiking to touring Asia and hanging on the beach, the Granite Creek Convertible Pants have been lived in and loved by me.
