Hi all,
A firstworld kind of problem here.
In short, I'm semi-interested in getting some hiking pants that rollup nice and high.
I do a lot of creek/shallow river crossings in my neck of the, er, woods. I don't want convertibles (too much hassle, especially when it's regular crossings and then back into the lawyer vine and whatnot and then another crossing). I currently wear pretty rough gear - King Gee workwear type stuff- which roll up okay, but once wet - either through a deep patch or even just from vegetation/rain etc - get heavy and take an age to dry out.
So I'm reading all these articles about the best hiking pants or whatever that have a degree of water proofing and are light and dry easy etc etc, and many articles mention "hey, an important decision is if you want convertible, or rollup, or just straight", but virtually no reviews or product descriptions I can see actually specify which pants can be rolled up.
So - firstly, am I just dumb, and you can roll up anything without too much trouble? Or will there indeed be some pants that are better/designed to be rolled up?
Secondly - if there are specific rollup kind of pants - how fixed/adjustable in height do they tend to be?
And finally, any recommendations? Or other considerations?
Cheers!
