Trouser and zip are a pain compared to the freedom of just lifting the hem.
Put bluntly, I never mastered the notion of using the trouser fly alone when "relieving myself": it was always down to belt, button (or other fastener), fly, and the top of the undergarment. Life is so much easier now!
My one criticism of the Midas jeans and cargo skirts is that the fly is just a wee bit too short, another inch or so would be better, more like ordinary bifocal pairs of jeans. However they are just long enough and when out in public conveniences I do use the zip, in the Gents it seems more normal than hiking up the hem. When using the zip I soon learnt to push the front of the skirt back between my legs to keep it clear of stray drippage, the things you learn with a new style of garment!
That's down to the design of the garment, and I am not going to second-guess you on practical tactics. All I can say is that that with the ones I have it's vastly easier to lift the front of the hem to "do my business" and to cast scorn on naysayers than it's been to undo all the top parts of trousered rigs over the years. (Although I do have to admit that it's sometimes a challenge to deal with ten feet of hem circumference in front of the convenience!)
