Price Paid: $99

I really don’t care for these pants much. I bought them, and they are very warm and water resistant, however they have some problems which drop them to less than par.

First, the zipper will not completely unzip, which totally undermines the purpose. Also the same zipper when fully zipped if you’re also wearing a backpack will dig into your side and bruise the mess out of you. (Very painful)

Second, the pants don’t want to stay up since they have no belt loops. So if you decide to buy these pants, make sure to include a pair of suspender as well.

Have a happy and safe summit!
