Sierra Designs Hurricane LT Pant - Men's
Nice & light, but ZIpper broke, coating is coming off.

I only wore these a few times, mainly a winter hike up Freel Peak (Tahoe) around freezing. Comfortable, light, seemed to breathe OK (no condensation). Haven't tried them in the rain (worked fine in brief a shower test).
But in a just a few days of use, the leg zipper broke. I sent them back for repair, and when they came back, the seam-sealing tape had pulled the inner coating away from the seam, so water can now come in. How come no one in the SD repair shop noticed that?
I'm going to try another brand.
