There is a full frontal zippered opening incorporating a storm flap with snap closures, hook and loop tabs at the wrists, and a visor extension at the top of the hood. The expandable patch waist pockets with snap-down flaps on each front panel create inner compartments accessible from vertical openings along the side seams. Other features include adjustable textile drawcords around the thigh-length hemline and hood opening, and ventilation eyelets under the arms. The straight legged pull-on pants feature an elasticized waist, adjustable snaps at the ankles, and a rear patch pocket with a snap-down flap.
