Columbia Silver Ridge Utility Convertible Pant - Boys' Black, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I grabbed these for a young hiker in my family for a summer camping trip and the zip-off feature ended up being the MVP of the whole week. They started every morning in pants and were in shorts by noon without missing a beat, and the UPF 50 protection meant one less thing to worry about on full sun days.""Summer adventures rarely follow a schedule, and the Columbia Silver Ridge Utility Convertible Pant is built to keep up with every unexpected turn. From a cool trailhead start to a sun-soaked afternoon by the creek, these pants adapt as fast as young explorers do. Columbia designed the Silver Ridge with the full range of a kid's outdoor day in mind, so the gear never becomes the reason to slow down or head back early. The zip-off legs convert to eight-inch shorts in seconds, making the mid-day wardrobe change a non-event on the trail. Omni-Wick recycled polyester pulls moisture away from the skin to keep things comfortable when the pace picks up and the temperature climbs, while Omni-Shade UPF 50 protection guards against sun exposure on wide-open terrain. A relaxed fit and stretch fabric give growing kids the full range of motion they need for scrambling, jumping, and everything in between, and a drawcord adjustable elastic waist keeps the fit dialed without fuss. Three pockets handle the rocks, snacks, and small treasures that inevitably accumulate on a good outdoor day."
