Columbia Fresh Pow Pant - Men's
Poor Side Zips and Pocket Defects mar a great pant

The pant is made of tough, but is not too heavy of a fabric. It bends and moves well. Suspenders are sturdy and comfortable. Unfortunately, the "hook and loop" tabs on the side don't hold well when you attempt to vent the pant. The vent zips only work one direction as well. The thigh pocket arrived with the inside not sewed together -- thus you had a pocket space that extended down the lining to the ankle. Called Columbia - they are helpful and informed me this was a defect. I ended up with a Patagonia Primo Flash pant -- expensive, and light, but it performed very well with a good set of wool underwear.
