I have Icepeak with two zippers (below and above knee) and they work fine with me. Good pockets, light and quick drying. Sometimes I just leave the lower part on top of the boots until I want to take a rest. And I always take of my shoes when resting.
I walked in 2011, 2014 and 2017 and never had the feeling of risking anything. Lots of people - like me - charge the mobile phone and/or camera during night time or when in shower. I never heard of anybody loosing any valuables where I stayed, but of course we have to be sensitive.
