I bought the hiking pants for alpine Crosstour. Mainly in the evening for dinner or on cold days, I wanted to wear. Later, possibly for hiking. Unfortunately, the trousers have absolutely not spoken to me in weight. The pants alone has more weighed than a standard jeans. Here you are better off if you buy a low-priced model comparison at Decathlon. The Zipper is of course to make practically a long, three-quarters or even shorts. There are also plenty of pockets to stow objects. But as I said ... much too heavy, so 2 stars.
