CQR Men's Convertible Cargo Tactical Pants, Water Resistant Outdoor Hiking Pants, Zip Off Lightweight Stretch Work Pants

Wore these hiking all over Joshua Tree, shook off the desert dust and hung them up then wore them two days later to walk all over Disneyland and Ca adventure. They dry super fast too. We got drenched on a water ride and 10 minutes later my pants were dry. They stayed comfortable and honestly did not smell after 24 miles walking altogether. I found the size was perfect and love that the pockets don’t bulge out. The belt is also great for the airport because I wore them again for the five hour flight home. The phone pocket is well placed, even though my iPhone sticks out of it a little, the pocket holds it securely and I’m able to quickly grab it for pictures. These pants also pack down and are light.

I had bought a different brand of convertible trousers a few years ago and keep them for camping. I liked them, but their fit was baggy and the look was kind of wrinkled. I wanted a second pair for a trip to Thailand, and ordered these because I liked the way they looked and that I could specify both waist and inseam. I was so pleasantly surprised at how well they fit and how nice they looked, that I ordered a second pair in the same color (khaki). For those that would use these for camping, I will note that the legs are a more slender fit (which I like the looks of) and lack a side zipper, so you will have to take off your boots to add or subtract the lower legs of the pants. After washing they did retain some wrinkles, but not too many. They are light weight, dry quickly, have both velcro and zipper pockets, and look good as either shorts or long pants. I do wish that the zipper pockets also had a flap to cover the zipper, to make them a bit more secure, but I'm okay with them as is. I would order them again.

noticed this had a bit more of a premium than a bunch of the inexpensive options (but not as pricey as the bigger brands like Columbia, REI, OR, etc) - the features sounded really nice for its price point.overall, these are comfy pants and they are not paper thin. I love that they have labelled left/right zip pulls, the cargo pockets in the back and plenty for folding up the zippered off legs (and I can sit on them without any discomfort (in fact I forget they are there after awhile!)).The belt is functional and removable (this is great as I can use the belt on another pair of convertible pants that didn’t come with a belt!). The D hook off one belt loop on the left side looks to be useful but I haven’t discovered it’s ideal use yet - good to know it’s there.They are admittedly a bit “noisy” - now they aren’t anything close to being as noisy as parachute pants but they make noise as you shuffle your legs (even when you’re wearing just shorts which is mostly how I’ve used them for a few weeks) - it’s not loud but it’s enough to know you’re in these pants and not regular pants. And while we are on the topic of noise, the back cargo pockets are velcro.At first I was concerned about the 64% cotton - when I went to hand wash them, they definitely soaked up a lot of water! I was able to wring most of the water out pretty easily and they did come close to dry overnight. You don’t want the cotton in there if drying in just a few hours is what you’re looking for but overall, it’s fast enough not to consider it a negative. Though be prepared to machine wash them - the odor from probably chemicals is pretty strong compared to 4 other pants I tried. most of it goes away after a hand wash and didn’t go completely away after a cold machine wash with a very mild scent-free detergent.I like the mini pocket on the right - it’s small enough to put my car keys in and tight enough that they don’t fall out. This is important because I noticed if I put my car keys into the zippered pocket on the left leg, it felt “too weighty” (like a pendulum) which was uncomfortable so it was good I could move my car fob/keys to the little pocket on the right.The fly zip is a metal zipper and there’s a metal waist button. The material is heavier than other pants but not too heavy - probably means it’s a bit more durable. However, note that according to the seller the TXP-405 (what I got) is 40g *heavier* than the TXP-404 (pay close attention to “color” - it says “lightweight” and one of the images says “TXP-404 travel series” and has hikers in the top of the photo).overall, you get what you pay for and this is a good mid-tier pair of pants. if you pay less, you’re not going to get as many features and if you pay more, the design and construction and quality of materials (and zips!) will go up.UPDATE (9/26/2023): I docked a star because I ultimately went with REI Sahara convertibles: super deep pockets no phone has gone before, full length zips so you don’t have to take yr boots off, color coded pant zips, YKK zippers for durability, no velcro, lighter and more comfortable, 9" short in-seam to prevent rubbing at knees , quicker to dry, and not noisy to walk in! now it didn’t come w a belt but I have both pants so I just use the same belt for both. totally worth the extra 10 bucks. I use my CQRs for work as they clearly seem thicker and save my Saharas for travel and hiking.UPDATE (1/16/2025): I've been wearing these about twice a week (nothing too crazy, just delivering packages around the hood) and washing them maybe once every two weeks. After 17 months, pants came out torn (at the seat) out of the wash. Of course, it may have been our machine (it's a Maytag) - the pants seem more durable & rugged than they actually are in practice unfortunately. Im a bit disappointed as I really do like these pants but can't see myself getting another pair at this price.

I work at a golf course, up north in Wisconsin, and have many mornings where it is quite chilly and afternoons where it is very warm. These are the perfect balance between light weight but made out of material that I am not afraid would be torn by a branch or any kind of normal wear. They are great at blocking wind and great at being breathable. My only problem is they are a little tight. I’m about 6’ 3” to 6’ 4” and I am a stock 34x34 in almost every pant I have worn. These are definitely a tight cut jean if that makes sense. I don’t mind them being a little tight because I don’t like them to be baggy but the waist and crotch area is a little tight and the zipper for the pants is tight on my upper thigh when I sit. Not a huge problem to where I would return them, but when I order another pair, I will probably go to a 36x34 to fit a little better. I am a skinny/athletic build where the waist has never been a problem fitting into so keep that in mind as well. If you want room just go up on the waist size but the length is perfect. Again perfect product, just a little error on my end. The belt is kind of useless and cheap but it holds up and does it’s job. It at least it helps me save my nice belt nice, would not be at all necessary if the no belt option comes in your size. I will be buying another pair.

Great, well made, product! I love em!
