We searched for convertible pants that could be shorts or pants for us adults. We didn't have any luck finding pants that fit well and that turned into shorts of appropriate lengths. We tried on all different brands and found that the Halle Pant worked the best for both of us. Why did they have to be the most expensive pants we tried on? It was worth it and we found a deal for an off color on amazon. The only downside was that they were a little warm in the heat, but the rolled up legs helped a little bit. They dried quickly in the rain and in the wash.
