I love side zip vents in pants. Scandinavian clothes tend to have them…in addition to Fjallraven, Lundhags and Norrona have models with them…I think Hagloffs does to. They are all expensive, however.
Kuiu makes several models that have zip vents and are lightweight that you can also get in solid colors. The Tiburon is a very lightweight summer pant with vents..they are great. The Attack pants are a little heavier soft-shell with side zip vents as well. They are great as well, and although still expensive, they are not quite as expensive as some of the Scandinavian brands, if memory serves.
