These were purchased for my daughter who skis in Juneau, Alaska. They commonly have extremely wet and windy weather conditions. She tells me they keep her warm and dry-not an easy task. Naturally she has an Arc Teryx jacket too. Our entire family is very outdoor oriented and we all think Arc Teryx is in a league of it's own in terms of keep you dry. She's about 5' 2" and 118 lbs, the smalls fit her perfectly.

I love these pants-they actually look good while on. They are very minimalist-few pockets, no lining. But they do great at keeping the snow and wind out, while keeping you dry on the inside. I was glad I found these at such a great deal on this website. I love Arcteryx stuff, just hate paying full price!

small tall fit my wife, size 4 with 33 inseam. Bulletproof very hardcore(minimalist, utilitarian)construction. Performed well resort skiing with thick midlayer. One flaw: single snap constantly unsnaps (despite 1-2 inches extra room in waist for layering), then zipper follows. Note many competitors have 2-3 snaps and velcro. Saving that insignificant weight costs needing a belt, it does have loops. Did return, hard to spend top dollar (325) and say "I like 'em except..."

Got the pants to go with my arc jacket. I live in Western Washington (the rain forest) and I raise arabians. It rains here alot. This is the best rain gear ever. I don't groom the horses in it because I heard gortex doesn't mix well with the oils in a horse's coat. For everything else it's great. With a pair of long johns as a base I wear these guys all of the time. I stay bone dry and warm which is a plus in rainy damp weather like ours.
