Not Full Side Zips

By Ranked #1276 - Men's Ski Pants November 18, 2008

The use case for these pants is you're high up, probably on ice, wearing alpine harness and crampons, when the temperature falls or the weather hits, and you need to get your hard shells on in a hurry. You really, really want FULL side zips under these conditions. Regrettably, these otherwise outstanding hard shell pants do not have them. To get those, you need to move up to the Argon ice pants, which cost 100 bucks more. Or go with the Defiant pants, but they are very, very heavy...
