Outdoor Research

Equinox Pant - Men's

My Favorite Multipurpose Pants

These pants are my favorite for a number of activities - hiking, tactical use, and everyday wear. The OR quality shines through and several years after purchasing, they still seem brand new. My only complaint would be that they are a little on the snug side - I would recommend ordering up a size if you have thicker legs.

Great Pants!!

I love these pants. Lightweight and comfortable. I have LOVED every outdoor research item I have owned.

Odd fit...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As reviewed, tighter fit around the thigh which was perfect for me. However, the waist was at least an inch too big. Pants look and feel great, but sizing is just off...

I love these pants!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know why OR is discontinuing these pants... they are the best convertible pants I've ever owned. I like how the zipper is higher above the knee unlike others I've had in the past where the zipper rubs on your knees creating discomfort. If you can still find some of these pants buy them! You won't be disappointed.

Seam threads fail

I really wanted to love these pants and they do some things well. The conversion is nice and well thought out. The fabric is cool and perfect for hot and humid weather. But, I cannot recommend them because the threaded seams on the pants and shorts pull out extremely easily. These are supposed to be outdoor pants, it's even in the brand name. Within two days of wearing them the threads started pulling out around the hems and pockets. If you walk through briars, the briars don't impact the pant fabric but will pull the thread seams out constantly. It's really a terrible design for an outdoor pant. I carry a pocket knife in my pocket and even the clip started pulling threads immediately upon wearing them. This hasn't happened on any other pants I wear, even much cheaper pairs. I expect more from Outdoor research and was very disappointed.

Love everything about these. They look great, they move great, they're comfy. I've only worn them a half dozen times mostly long hikes/backpacking, but also cold weather mountain biking. No issues so far.

All around great.

Because the gear does exactly what it advertises. I put these pants through the wringer on a regular basis, they are comfy, and they last. Great gear always.I don't like the differences in the sizing that you seem to get with pants from OR, I would like to see more consistency in that department. I also like the flexibility of the pants and the functionality of the zipper conversion. Great gear as always.

I love these convertible pants, have a couple of pairs

These have been my go to convertible pants for Canadian Rockies summers for day trips and backcountry trips. I've been wearing them for a couple of years. Our summer days, a temperature swing of 20 degrees isn't unheard of, it is expected...so the ability to convert into shorts for the hike back in the summer heat is a treat. As a pant, they are durable and thick enough not to get full of holes from sandpaper rocks or scree. Great pant.

Great hiking pants!

These are definitly my go-to hiking pants. They're lightweight, comfortable, and breathable. They are a bit tighter in the thighs than the ferrosi pants but I've come to like the "fitted" style. The pockets are nice and deep as well. After wearing them through streams, rain, and snow, they do a pretty good job at repelling water as well. Some of the stitching on the back pocket came undone after a few trips to the backcountry, probably from sitting on rocks. Easy fix though. They're about as durable as they can be given the lightweight material. Overall, I really love these pants.
