Columbia Men's Silver Ridge Convertible Pants
The Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible Pants are the Swiss Army knife of hiking bottoms — full pants when you need sun and brush protection, zip-off shorts when the trail heats up. Built with Columbia's signature ripstop nylon and UPF 50 sun protection, they're lightweight enough for summer trekking yet durable enough for scrambling. The Omni-Wick moisture management keeps you dry on uphill slogs, and with six pockets (including secure cargo pockets), you've got storage for maps, snacks, and a phone without needing a daypack. Partial elastic waist means comfort even after camp cooking.
