"Warm and dry but a few questions" - Review of The North Face Varius Guide Pant - Men's

Just had a week in Val d'Isere and the pants are warm and dry but there are a few design question marks. I have a North Face jacket with a snow skirt on the inside however these pants don't have the loops to clip it onto? Being over 6ft tall I went with the large for length but this leaves me with quite a bit of excess around around my @ss. Lastly, more of a question, why have zips all the way down the sides? Porn shoot in the Alps? Just being critical, otherwise sweet pants!!
