Article Summary:

Isis makes outdoor clothing for women. The Isis Maia convertible pants are constructed of a wonderful stretchy, lightweight nylon that is non-binding and allows a more flattering fit than typical 100% nylon pants. The Isis Maia convertible pants have details that make me smile - a purple belt, red stars tacking down the corners of the pockets, and gold stars inside the zipper - without losing their functionality for hiking and backpacking. One overlooked detail: the scratchy fabric tail of the pant-to-short conversion zippers are sewn outside the protective cloth flap and occasionally chaff my legs.
