Although it takes some planning in "purchase" mode, you can get two
pairs of zip-offs that match. Then one set of legs will fit either pair
of shorts and you don't have to change pants just to cover your legs.
Anyway, that's what works for me. The colors are a little different, but
Philmont isn't a style show.

Happy Trails,
