Meet me in a non-professional or non-beach setting, and you'll find me wearing Royal Robbins Zipn'Go Pants. They really are the perfect pants for all seasons. Made of lightweight but tough synthetic fabric, they can stand up to wind, dry quickly after the sky clears, and are roomy enough that rock scrambling and felled tree and boulder traversing are no problem.
When it's cool out, wear your Royal Robbins Zipn'Go Pants with the legs. When it gets hot, zipper the legs off and put them in the stuff-sack that is sewn into one of the legs, then hitch it to your belt. When it's cold, put on a pair of longjohns and you'll be warm and toasty.
I wear my Royal Robbins Zipn'Go Pants kayaking because they're comfortable and dry quickly. The dry quickly property also means that if you're on a long trip, you can wash them with some Biosuds and hang them on a tree or off a shower head and they'll be dry the next morning.
Royal Robbins Zipn'Go Pants have five roomy pockets -- one of them zippered -- to hold your gear, cash and ID. The legs have velcro expanders at the bottoms that make it easier to slip over footwear. And the belt mechanism is simple but secure.
Royal Robbins Zipn'Go Pants have taken me all around the world, in all environments but snow, in style and in comfort. I can't think of anything I would change, and I hope Royal Robbins doesn't either.
Cold, cool and hot weather are no problem for the versatile Royal Robbins Zipn'Go Pants. When it's cold, longjohns under them and you'll be plenty warm. When it's cool, keep the legs on. When it's hot, zip them off and stow them in the leg with the built-in stuff sack.
