Product Customer Reviews

So comfortable and practical
Lightweight and quick drying. They convert very easily to become shorts, although not sure how long the zips will last, and unzip along the side of your legs so you can take them off without removing shoes. I’ve used them on a few (very hot) stages of the South Downs Way, and they performed well. Useful pockets and a good length.
Great zip - offs with plenty of pockets .Very Comfortable for Munro Bagging .
These were for my husband for a recent fishing trip to France - he couldn’t stop raving about them!
Light weight & very comfortable. Good design. Easy to convert into shorts & back. Would definitely recommend.
I found the trousers really comfortable and stretchy. The fabric feels really nice on the body. However, it's a bit thin so I don' t think it's a universal pair of trousers for cold and warm weather. Also, it's a bit disappointing that it has SOME parts water repellant and some parts not. What's the point. If it rains, even if it's lightly, I'll still get wet. Still overall, pretty nice trousers. Let's see how long they last :)
Really easy to unzip the legs to turn into shorts, even with boots on.
Fair quality, flexible. Seem ok. We’ll see what I think after I hit the Welsh mountains
Love these trousers. Bought a second pair - but sizing seems to have completely changed - and same size doesnt fit. Hard wearing - but got bleach on the knee and its taken the colour out.
Great trousers for walking, lightweight and with plenty of pocket space. Fit is pretty accurate and the lower portions zip/unzip easily.
Excellent product for trekking and hiking. Slightly loose fit but good during rain as it dry quickly. Used in my Iceland trip in July 2022 and it served very well for long hours of trekking, walking and moving in car.
Awesome for all day treks
It's very good product I like this trouser
very good quality. easily foldable.
Good quality product
Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric
- 100% Polyamide
Yoke
- 12% Spandex
- 88% Polyamide
Lining
- 100% Polyester cationic
- 85% Polyamide
How is the dark gray model eco-designed?
For the dark gray color, we used a mass pigmentation process called “dope dyeing.” This process incorporates the color pigments from the initial thread manufacture to reduce water consumption. This helps us to reduce 26.8% of CO2 emissions. More information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
Hybrid structure
Pants designed with 2 different components: - a durable fabric (7.3 oz/m²) on areas that need protection from rubbing (seat, bottom of the leg at the front). This fabric is slightly stretchy, offering great freedom of movement - and a light and breathable fabric (4.4 oz/m²) on the rest of the pants.
Accessories
2 zipped hand pockets 2 zipped thigh pockets (and 1 mesh patch pocket on the inside of the right pocket) 1 zipped pocket at the back Elastic tightening system at the ankle for a perfect fit of the pants over the boot. Pants sold with a belt
What is the water-repellent property of the component?
These pants have water-repellent inserts (front of ankle, seat) that let the water slide off the fabric's surface. Please note that this does not mean waterproof. The water-repellent property prevents the pants from getting wet too fast but will not keep you dry under steady rain. To do this, we suggest adding outer pants such as model MT500 (ref. 8493660). Water-repellent properties can be reactivated by tumble drying the pants for 10 minutes on low temperature.
Sizing information
Regular cut and use of stretch fabric in the right areas guarantees high comfort levels when moving around. Choose your usual size. Inside leg of pants: 32.8" in size M Shorts inside leg: 10.8" in size M Width of pant hem: 8.4" in size M Width of shorts hem: 10.4" in size M
What about maintenance?
We recommend that you always wash the pants with the bottom of the legs zipped up to make sure that the color washes out evenly!
