Editors' Choice - Outdoor Research Cirque Pants

The Outdoor Research Cirque pants were the most versatile pants tested. They work just as well for a day hike or a month-long hike on the Appalachian Trail. They have articulated knees for comfort and also to help reduce chafing. The Cirque pants also have abrasion patches to protect the bottom of the pants from rocks. Made from nylon, polyester and spandex, these pants are durable and tough.

Top Pick - Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pants

The defining feature of the Mountain Hardware pants is the fact that they can be converted into shorts by just unzipping off the legs. This makes them a very versatile pair of pants. Made from tough nylon, they are durable, and with a micro fleece liner, they are breathable and warm.
