Terrible sizing
"Sizing is crazy! I have an older pair, size 10, fit me perfectly. Ordered a size 10 and it's TINY! Laying flat there's 5cm difference between the two. Why can't companies keep their sizing the same, it's not hard!"

Women's EVRY-Day Convertible Pants - Black
Getting your item
Cargo-style hiking pants that zip into shorts, made with durable, recycled nylon.
New Zealand's weather varies greatly - one minute we're hiking through a damp, mossy fern grove getting chilly, and the next we're basking in the hot sun on an exposed ridge. We made the EVRY-Day Convertible Pants so we could embrace the weather changes with the flick of a zip.

SO Good!
"This is my second pair. Comfortable, versatile and great to have the pockets! Walked the Camino in my first pair and they’re still going strong."
Great colour and fit
"Great colour and fit"
Sizing is stupid
"I have a size 8 in these which ive had for a couple of years and decided to buy another pair in size 10. . . they are exactly the same size as the size 8 so not very happy with them at all."
perfect fit and very high
"perfect fit and very high waist"
Love them
"These pants fit so well and are very flattering. They accentuate the waist to hip line. They don't pooch up/awkwardly gather in the crotch area or under the waistband like I find all other hiking pants do. The zip and buttons are very secure. I don't like how they look when zipped off shorts mode but the zips are easy to unzip and reattach plus zip back on. The light colour looks really nice and goes with almost everything. I found they didn't easily get dirty which I was worried about. The light colour was great in the strong Sun and high UV. I was maybe going to buy the black ones but am very glad I didn't as I think my legs might have been roasting. I like how the leg is a little loose so not tight like some of the hiking pants. The only downside which was only very minor for me was that they attracted fluff but you could easily brush it kind of off. My son had the child's version in black and it had the same trouble of attracting fluff."
Hiking trousers
"Got these for work and they’re great, nice and cool in the heat"
Super comfortable
"Wish there are more colours to choose from. :)"
Great 👍
"I’ve been looking for convertible trousers for a long time. They are perfect size and colour."
Sizing wrong
"I had to return. The 12 waist was smaller than my 10’s. 14’s would be too long and generally too high. I’ve never had a sizing issue with Kathmandu before."
Q&A
- Why don’t you make these for women who are not tall? Tried some and the design with zips at the bottom mean they can’t be shortened. I’m 5’3” and they came up to my neck!
- Sorry that these pants don't fit you as you would have liked. As they are designed for hiking/ tramping, they are longer than usually so they can be worn over hiking boots comfortably.
