Default Flying pants

I love the Sahara Roll-up pants from REI. They have zippered cargo pockets on both sides. I keep essentials in them that I would not want to not lose in a bail-out. They also have these neat waist cinches that make a belt unnecessary. When it's hot on the ground, I roll up the legs to below my knees, and I roll them down before takeoff.

I have some of the Colombia cargo pants that are similar, but inferior. Only one of the side pockets is zippered; the other has a tiny piece of velcro that would blow right open in a bail out. The lower legs unzip, but I find that much less convenient than rolling them up.

Roll-up is a good idea.Â* I was thinking that throwing all style (decorum) aside, pant legs that had a zipper running up the *front* of the legs would provide a lot of flexibility.
