Disappointed
"I wanted to like these pants. I really did. They work as intended, with an exception. They kept me dry, blocked the wind, were lightweight and compactable. My problem was the full length zips. They came undone just fine, but WOULD NOT go back together. I bought them with the intention of being able to put them on without taking off my crampons. After unzipping them to put on, I had to sit down on my pack in the snow for ten minutes just to get them to zip back up. I wasn’t even wearing them! The zipper would not thread properly. Now they are my self-arrest practice pants. I won’t be taking them on any expeditions. No point fighting zippers or holding up the team to take gear off just to put these on and redress. Super disappointed. Probably the only piece of clothing from BD that I regret buying."
