^^^ very similar experience. Went on a spur of the moment overnight pack trip. Light rain was expected but I woke up at ~2-3am to the tent folding in on me and snowing heavily. By morning we had 8” of snow! Cold as heck so I left the bottoms on to start the hike the rest of the way up the mountain. Got hot so I dropped trou in front of everyone and zipped those babies off. What a revelation. Everyone including me thought that was so cool. So much better than all those years stopping to take your boots and pants off. One of the best inventions ever
