Gear Review General Outdoors Mountain Khakis

National Outdoors was f ortunate enough to get a hold of the highly -anticipated

Mountain Khakis Snake Riv er Conv ertible Pant. Mountain Khakis is releasing the

Snake Riv er Sy nthetic Collection next spring. This collection will f eature a 100%

ny lon lightweight, technical, and quick-dry f abric, that is UVA/UVB 50+. I'v e worn

these pants on a v ariety of outings including: hiking, camping, f ishing and bouldering.

The Snake Riv er f abric is much more f lexible and easier to maneuv er in than the

Original Mountain Khakis pant. Although these pants are lightweight, the f abric is heav y enough to

av oid snags while bushwhacking and durable enough to av oid abrasion while scrambling ov er rocks.

Snake River Convertible as Shorts in Southern Utah

I'v e alway s been a f an of the conv ertible pant while in the backcountry . With one pair of pants, y ou

get the benef it of shorts and pants. In the picture, I'm hiking in the redrock country outside

Cany onlands National Park. The morning was cold, and I had the legs zipped onto the pants. As the

day warmed up, I shed the legs within a f ew seconds.

You can't keep the Snake Riv er Conv ertible Pant away f rom the riv er. The pants hav e a cargo

pocket on the lef t leg that f its a medium sized f ly box perf ectly . They also dry v ery quick if y ou get

them wet (see my test below). I also wore them comf ortably beneath my waders.

Playing Around the in Snake River Convertible Pant

A loose f it in the legs and ny lon material allows f or a mobile pant. The pants don't get hung up on

y our thighs when y our climbing. The f ront pockets of the pant expand so y ou can hav e items in y our

pockets and still hav e mobility .

I wanted to test out how quickly the pants would air dry , so I waded into the riv er and got wet.

comf ortable. Af ter an hour they were completely dry . Af ter dry ing, the f abric stif f ened up, but then

sof tened once I began walking around.

Mountain Khakis wisely used the bomber YKK Zippers on the zipper pockets and pant legs. These

zippers can take a beating and hold up ov er time. The pants legs are also v ery easy to attach back

on the shorts because the zipper has a large slider and pin. Notice the triple stitching on all the

seams. The sample I receiv ed was a little tight in the waist, so I put these seams to the test.

Reinforced Pant Cuff

Like all Mountain Khakis pants, the rear cuf f is doubled ov er f or added wear. I call it the "mud f lap".

The Snake Riv er Conv ertible Pants are a great all round pant. You can get one pair and hav e the

v ersatility of pants or shorts. Trav el in them, get them dirty , wash them in a sink (or riv er), hav e a

cold one while they dry and head out f or a nice dinner.
