I need new hillwalking trousers. Can anyone suggest something that fits the following  over-specific list of demands?

-Zip-offs, which can be converted without having to take off your size 11.5 boots

-DWR finish or similar, so they're shower-resistant

-Quick drying material.

In the past I used Terra Montane Convertibles, which are excellent except for the fact that (despite ankle zips) they can't be got off or on over my boots, so they're not really too 'convertible'.

Any suggestions appreciated in my quest for trouser perfection.

Hi spiff,

I can't comment on using them with size 11.5s but I highly recommend TNF Paramount convertibles, superb troos...I have two pairs...lucky boy !

best of luck !

I've got a pair of Paramounts and they are nice. I've also got another pair of TNF convertibles, a lighter material than the Paramounts and more of a cargo trouser with pockets lower on the thighs, not ankle zips mind!

For less pleasant weather I use a lightweight TNF Apex trouser (not convertible)!
