Review on 🩳 Versatile and Comfortable: Columbia Sportswear Boys' Silver Ridge II Convertible Pant (Little Big Kids) by Aaron Collins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too thin/poor quality

First of all, we generally like the quality of Columbia outerwear. We bought these pants for our two children to use as boy scout pants. We usually buy LL Bean zip-up pants for this purpose, but their pants have been in stock for a few months, so we decided to give them a try. Very disappointing. Pants are very thin/light. That in and of itself would be fine as kids could always wear pants underneath in colder weather, but pants will never stand up to active outdoor use by active kids. After one wash and no wear (they're a bit loose on kids) the seams will stretch allowing light to see through the seams. A hike with hiking, chopping wood etc. and I know these pants go in the trash. However, for the price we could get by for a while, but the belt loops are so small that scout belts won't fit through, so it can't be used as a uniform as we intended. Unfortunately, my children tried them on too quickly, they said they fit, and we only noticed the remaining "problems" with the trousers after the first wash. So I think we'll stick with them for now, although I'll consider returning them. The customer service part of it will be updated.
