The North Face Women's Exploration Conv Straight Hiking Pants, TNF Black/Npf, 8

Made from a stretchy but durable, these trousers stand up to day-after-day of wear and the challenges of steep switchback trails. When it comes to the fit, they're straight down to the thigh and knee, easing at the ankle, with a regular front and waist but a slightly higher back. But perhaps their best feature is their versatility. Roll up the hem for mid-morning ventilation. By afternoon you'll be zipping them off mid-thigh. When evening comes, convert them into trousers again. And don't worry about losing the zipped off bits. There's a storage pouch for that.
