The North Face Exploration Regular Straight Convertible Pant adjusts across a full day on trail instead of asking for a gear change. Roll and snap the hem for a quick vent on a warm climb, then zip the legs off entirely at mid-thigh to convert to 7-inch shorts once the sun is overhead. A 93% recycled nylon and elastane blend moves with a stride on steep switchbacks, and a fluorine-free DWR finish sheds a passing shower without needing a separate rain layer. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've zipped these off mid-climb without breaking stride, and the shorts underneath don't feel like a leftover pant leg. The hem sits clean, not chopped."
