Zip-Tastic

Believe it or not, I've lived in Colorado for over 10 years and I've never owned a pair of zip-off (or "convertible") pants. Blasphemy, I know!

Perhaps it was the complete lack of styling these pants-turn-shorts showcase that turned me off from making the purchase. Or, more likely, the consideration of "when would I EVER need access to shorts and pants in a single hike?"

Well, I have found the answer. Patagonia is one such magical place that may require me to have shorts and pants in a single journey without first having access to my suitcase. And so, I have ventured into the world of travel wear with the purchase of a pair of The North Face convertible pants.

On sale at REI, of course.
