This has to be the weirdest product I've ever bought. On the plus side is that the fleece is thick and warm, the trousers well-constructed. The problem is the design. (Are these what "military pants" are?) There's no front zipper. (Is this a unisex item?) You have to put on the pants by unzipping and rezipping both sides and then fastening the Velcro straps at the top of the zippers at both sides of the waist. Also, there are no belt loops through which to pass and hold a belt to keep the pants on firmly. And with no front zipper, to do one's business, one must unfasten the belt, unzip the pants at both sides, and then repeat the process of rezipping, re-Velcroing and rebuckling the belt. Very strange product!
