LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE TOO!
They fit like a glove and are so comfortable and look good too. I'm sure I'll be using them for hiking throughout the year considering I can zip off the legs when the weather starts heating up. Great product!

Good Fabrick, Fit, and Function, with Reasonable Workmanship
I am an avid hiker (writing a review under my wife's account) and have owned several hiking pants from prominent brands over the years. Usually, I wear then until they are patched and tattered. As a reference for this review, I have in mind my Prana convertible pants, which have been excellent.I am 6'1" and 175 lbs. Finding the proper length and waist on Amazon was difficult. The typical Asian small, medium, large sizes are not meant for my proportions (32 W 34 L). The Gash Hao fit very well.The fabric is stretchy and reasonably breathable. It is a bit thinner than my Prana pants, which I have found to be a bit too hot. There is some water repellency to the fabric, which I expect to wear off over time. The fabric is not prone to snagging on brush, like my Black Diamond pants.Leg was great. The leg width fits over my hiking boots.Convertible legs seem to be out of style; Prana no longer makes them. Nevertheless, I find zip-off legs convenient for changing temperatures and weather conditions over the day. The zippers are smooth and functional. The zip-off legs can be pulled over my size 13 backpacking boots, which is convenient when a quick change is needed.The hook-and-look (Velcro) closure on the right side cargo pocket is the most significant workmanship problem with the pants. Because the Velcro is not sew out to the edges, opening the closer requires two hands or complicated finger work to separate the Velcro. This is fix I can easily do at home by adding a zig-zag stich around the perimeter of each Velcro patch.The left side cargo pocket uses a zipper closure. The width of the opening is quite narrow, especially for a pleated cargo pocket. The zipper also opens by sliding it front to back, making it vulnerable to opening if the slider catches on brush. Reversing it for opening back to front would be better.I don't like elastic waist bands and the gathered elastic segments on both the left and right sides are uncomfortable. This is exacerbated because they same fabric used for the body of the pants is used for the inside of the waist band, adding to the discomfort and slipperiness. Even if the pants did fit snugly, a belt would likely be required to keep them from sliding off.I have loved the integrated belt of my Prana pants. I purchased a $4 cargo strap that serves as a lightweight belt. The belt loops of the Gash Hao pants are very large.I've used the pants on several hikes and a multi-day trip. They still look new, kind of like wearing dress pants, which doesn't fit the aesthetics of my other gear. Overall, the pants are an excellent value. The workmanship isn't as refined as other pants, but it also isn't bad. I might be concerned about consistency.Some features and improvements that I'd like to see, in order of priority.- Sew around perimeter of Velcro (Simple fix that doesn't add cost).- Softer and less slippery material on the inside of the waist band.- Wider zipper opening on cargo pocket. Also, reverse the zipper slide direction.- Draw string in the leg hem.- Sized waist band instead of elastic. Although with better waistband material, an elastic waistband may be a reasonable way to reduce the costs of manufacturing multiple sizes.Every product represents a trade-off of design and manufacturing priorities. The deficiencies I have noted do not significantly impact the overall performance.Overall, the Gash Hao are the best value hiking pants that I have purchased and are very functional.

Great product for the value
These pants are light but strong with a stretchy fabric. They're comfortable to wear and even sleep in. I recommend this product.

Really thin and light. Plastic zippers. Kind of what you would find at street market in Asia.
I was going to use these as my primary pants for a summer trip to Japan but after receiving them, I ended up ordering another pair from Columbia. These pants might hold up, but I just don't trust them, so I purchased a name brand pair as a backup. I was actually surprised by how thin the material was. To boot, the pockets on these are just made of out mesh material. I would be afraid to put keys and such in them for fear of creating a hole and losing my things. Overall, the pants just seem cheap (fragile almost) to me, but I haven't actually tested them. While cheaper than its name brand competitors, I feel like the price was a bit high considering how much these pants are reminiscent of those found on the tables of street vendors in Asia for much less.
