What do you think?  Have you traveled internationally with convertible travel pants?  Or do you think their functionality is trumped by their (perceived) cheesiness? 

Hate them, resoundingly. I’ve long lamented the dearth of good-looking, functional, quick-drying pants…with legs that don’t zip off! Or have pockets on the sides large enough to hold a sandwich and a paperback.

We’ve done it before, but please share your favorite travel legwear…
