With a few improvements, I could rate these pants higher
Size: 40W x 32L
Color: Black
I bought these pants to wear for work, where black cargo pants are required. However, standard cargo pants just aren't warm enough to wear when riding a motorcycle in colder temperatures, especially colder than 60° F. Since I ride a motorcycle year round, weather permitting, I needed something better
than run-of-the-mill cargoes. These, of course, are not motorcycle pants, so they will not provide any additional protection against road rash or impacts. Neither will standard cargo pants from any other manufacturer. I suspect these pants will hold up as well as standard cargoes and denim jeans. That is to say, not much at all. If you need that, you should purchase motorcycle cargoes (only one company I know makes them, and they are nearly 4x the price of this pant or standard cargoes). These fleece-lined cargo pants nearly fit the bill for me for warmth. When I say nearly, I mean they need a few adjustments to provide a much more pleasant experience. I will go into those improvements at the end of my review. These pants are warm. If it's above 50°, you're likely to sweat in them. You'll even sweat in them when it's colder and the breeze is light. The only time you might feel cold in them is if there's a good high wind and you're not moving at all. If you're moving around, you should stay plenty warm. Even in most U.S. winters. I first thought these pants would be a problem at lower temperatures on a motorcycle at highway speeds. They aren't! I can feel a temperature difference when riding – I've ridden as cold as 26° F on a blustery morning before sunrise – and for the 30-45 minute ride to work, these pants are comfortable. They appear to be a natural part of my uniform as well, so I don't have to change out of them or anything. I just ride to work and immediately get busy. That's better than wearing overpants to keep warm as I ride. I hate layering up! The fleece is soft, too, I might add, as fleece should be. So I don't have any problem with friction or movement in these, either. However, I have a couple of complaints that, if addressed, would go a long way to making these pants near perfect. First, make the belt loops more robust. The loops on this pant are pencil thin. Second, position the loops to better support the front and back of the pants. The front loops are too much off to the side, leaving an unsecured gap of 6=8" at the front, providing the belt too much movement. Third, make the pockets bigger. These are cargo pants, for Christ's sake! The opening, in particular, are small/tight. I have large hands, especially by Chinese and Pakistani standards and the like, I have a difficult time inserting them into the pockets. If I had to use the pockets any more frequently, I think I'd return the pants because this is such an annoyance. Just an inch (2.5 cm) larger would go a long way to making these pants easier to get into the pockets. The cargo pockets could also be a little larger in general. Again, an inch would go a long way, I believe. Fourth, reshape the standard pockets. The standard pockets seem to come to a pronounced point at the bottom of the pocket. When I have to carry a bulkier item – such as my card holder (which is like a wallet but smaller) – it only sits about halfway into the pocket (because the pocket narrows to a point). My pocket knife and keys sit well in the pockets. Just not larger items. If the manufacturer reads these suggestions, and follows through with them, the experience of these pants would be considerably improved. Otherwise, I think these pants are perfect for their purpose.

Love the pants. Nice and warm. Comfortable too. Not a fan of the pocket arrangement. The snow pant pockets are slightly better.

Good deal but 4stars, pants are noisy, stiff and the fit was a little on the baggy side.

Another great product from FS
Size: 34W x 32L
Color: Black
I am pleased with their performance. The fabric is water-resistant and windproof, and the fleece lining is soft and comfortable. I wore the pants for a day of skiing, and they kept me warm and dry throughout the day. The pants were also comfortable to wear, even during extended periods of activity.

I wear size 38 pants but this item was to big due to the flexible waist band. Ordered a size 36 and they fit great. Just what I need for an upcoming cold weather trip,

The main zipper is YKK, but other zippers are China brand YCC, you would usually get confused with YKK and YCC
