I had the best vacation I'll ever have this year when I went to Rome, Positano, Florence and Assisi. Never having been abroad there were many questions about how to pack what to pack. Stories about pick pockets in Rome had me wary but these pants were perfect. Not only light weight but two front pockets on each side one open one with zipper. The back pockets not only are zippered but have a sewn rim over the pocket. I even got compliments on how they looked, icing on the cake. Highly recommend!!
