I love the Columbia pants, the fabric is nicer than the Travelsmith pants. You will find those in any sporting goods stores and they are usually around $40. I NEVER zip off the legs I would look really dumb with the legs zipped off. Once you start wearing these you may wear them more than you think. That is what I lived in while in India, the Galapgos and Peru. So lightweight and comfortable and wash like a rag.Just wear tee shirt tops and you are all set.

I order a lot from Travelsmith but Kathy is correct a lot of the products are not good quality. It is a hit and miss situation.
