Welcome to the forum.

My favorite hiking zip-offs finally gave up the ghost last week when I put my finger thru the fabric just above the left leg zipper. They were cheapies that were two tone from me washing the shorts alot more than the legs, but I'm not out to make a fashion statement on the trail other than I have none.

I've got a couple other pairs that I'll wear now, but have been searching for replacements. As far as non-cotton, nylon convertible pants go, for a tight budget, I've found everything from $13 ones, to $60 ones (something from Mountain Hardware for less than $100?? No, it's true!)

Hope you get some responses (for ulterior motives.)
