Silverts Men's Self Dressing Side Zip Pant vs Silverts Men's Open Back Magnetic Fly Pants

Buy the Open Back Magnetic Fly pants for anyone who needs help dressing or has limited hand strength; the snaps, magnetic fly and overlapping back panels do the work that buttons and zips can't. The Side Zip pant suits men who dress themselves and want a stretchy, wrinkle-resistant pull-on with full-length side zips, but owners report the zippers run short, the fabric is heavy, and it sizes large. The Open Back scores far higher with owners (4.8 from 16 vs 3.8 from 188), though that is a small sample and some report weak snaps and small sizing.

• Choose the Side Zip pant if you dress yourself and want a pull-on stretch pant with full-length side zippers and no buttons or fly.
• Choose the Open Back Magnetic Fly pant if a caregiver helps you dress or you need a magnetic fly and snap-back closure for washroom visits.
