soft shell convertable pants

[iceaxe23]

I love my mamut champ pants for colder climbing (black color) but they are too warm this time of year.

 

I have a pair of "alpine design" brand convertible softshell pants in light tan that I love. I got them at sports authority on clearance for $15 but can no longer find them. They are very comparable to my champ pants but I can zip the legs off and make them shorts. Does any other company make convertible softshell pants?

If you aren't adverse to spending money, I'm pretty sure Beyond Clothing makes customized soft shell pants where one of the options is zippers for converting to shorts (at least they used to).

$80 if you buy during one of their sales. And comes with lifetime warranty so you can abuse them as needed and return as needed

I got a pair of the Endeavor pants this year. It's got a full length vertical zipper, as well as horizontal zipper, so you can take 'em off or put 'em on while wearing boots and crampons. I really like mine, though as Water states, they're not full on 4 season Softshells. I like being able to get shorts or pants from the same garment. Cloudveil used to make a roll-up softshell (Peak or Prospector) pant that I also found worked well for adapting to changing weather/temperatures.
