[QUOTE="JohanNilsenNagel, post: 584292, member: 69096"] My personal choice is to wear unzippable hiking pants. Why? 1.) Sun protection. I don't see any use or need to unnecessarily expose my skin to harmful sun rays for any extended length of time. 2.) The possibility of zippers breaking or being unable to zip the pants back together once off just isn't worth the risk, in my opinion. Low risk, and probably not a big deal if you like wearing shorts, or have back up pants, but I don't feel any need to take that chance. 3.) If and when I feel like wearing shorts I can roll up my pants (to wade into a stream or lay out for a bit, or even walk a short distance. No one cares about fashion on the Camino). That said, if you really like to hike in shorts then by all means, wear shorts and/or bring your optional zip-off hiking pants! Hell, hike naked if you want (they do on the PCT in California, but not sure how that would go over with more conservative religious pilgrims in Spain). Anyway, be safe, have fun! [/QUOTE]
