No matter how cold and snowy it gets, when you move fast enough, you have to let your boys breathe. The FlyLow Gear Chemical Pant keeps all the pow out during big lines but lets in a cool breeze during the skin back up the ridge. Since you slay big lines and deep snow on the daily, you'll be stoked on the Three-Layer Intuitive Fabric in this shell pant. And since you work for your turns, this pant's inner and outer thigh vents get you all the ventilation you need to keep skinning and lapping your favorite zone.
Thanks to a tough nylon shell with fully taped seams and a Level 5 Dupont DWR coating, you get water-bounce and breathability for maximum big-mountain backcountry performance
Cordura reinforcements on the knees and cuffs reduce wear from edges and tree encounters
Adjustable waist tab secures the pant during big drops and walks across the parking lot
Three-panel construction on the knees provides an articulated fit that's ready for charging
Relaxed fit optimizes range of motion and allows ample layering on the colder resort days
Two front and two hand pockets stash your touring essentials or snacks while you cruise through the backcountry
Ykk waterproof zippers keeps your inner layers from getting soggy
Bottom Line: A technical shell pant that keeps up with your mountain mayhem and doesn't slouch on style.
Thanks a lot for pointing out the sizing chart. Based on the chart I think the Small might be the better option. I like a relaxed fit, but don't want them to be falling down.
I've been looking for pants like these for some time. I ski pretty agressive and my lower pant legs get sliced up constantly. I went through several pairs of Markers using Duct tape and tent seal to fix the slices. I then went to a pair of Descente pants with rubberized cuffs on the inside legs. these work well, but the cuffs are only 6" high, and I needed something that covers about 10" of height. I found these pants and they are unbreakable. I skied them in Utah last week and they took heavy abuse in the cuff area, with no slices whatsoever. The full zippers are also an extremely useful feature. The one thing I did like about the Descente pants over these are that these are not as warm. I never got chilled but in very cold weather I think they would not be as warm.
Well worth the money I paid for them - less expensive than my Descente's and tougher.
If you think Carhartt work pants are good, these are like those but for the mountains. Best pants I've ever owned in 20 years of skiing. Everything about them is sweet

My first reaction when I got these was that damn these look burly. With that in mind I thought they were going to feel heavy and be pretty hot when skinning etc. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the vents work though. The inner leg vents are clutch when doing any kind of skinning or hiking. These are also probably the most durable pair of ski pants I've ever owned.
I only have about 3 resort days on these pants but I have to say they are pretty sweet. I have no negative comments on their construction or burliness at all. I will likely end up replacing these long before I burn them out from the looks of things. Going to tour in them in February (thats what I bought them for) and they are very light and have huge vents. I expect them to perform well. If I have anything negative to say after that trip I will report but no new will be good news and I dont anticipate anything. I am 5-10 and 165 with a lean build and the M is fine. If anything it is a little big. I am not sure if the small would have worked but it might have. I am happy with the M and have no intention of switching them out. At present I do not have one but I have tried on a few of their coats in M and that is my size there so who knows Dont sweat picking up a pair of these pants if you are on the fence. They are legit.
Far as pants go, I haven't had anything tougher. Not as heavy as they look, actually pretty light, but just overbuilt to the max. Super waterproof, and the HUGE vents make skinning like wearing shorts. My only complaint would be the pockets are kinda small. Oh, and you're gonna need a belt. They're baggy.
These pants are super water proof, super windproof, breathable, burly, all around great. I can't even envision these wearing out. I love the vents, the reinforced knees and ankles, and powder cuffs. My only complaint -a bit more of a baggy park cut than i prefer. On the flip side, they can take a ton of layering under them. I recommend this with out a doubt!
I purchased a pair of these in '07 and they will not die! I have absolutely beaten the snot out of them and they simply will not fail. Fit is between relaxed and baggy. Comfortable to walk or skin in and ski in. They feel like a pair of old broken in Levis. Couple of visible scars from close encounters with tree branches but no punctures or tears. Zippers are beefy and all intact and working. Venting is massive. No webbing in the venting so you can get a brace on and off without having to drop your pants to your ankles.
These are the best pair of pants I have owned. Keeps me warm, dry, blocks wind, and extremely breathable. Wore these with a base layer in 25-30" temps and very very comfortable. Very relaxed fit and durable. I own a pair of burtons also and it just doesn't compare. I was also considering a pair of arcteryx but decided to try these and couldn't be happier. I am about 5'9 and weigh 135. Usually wear a 29-30, I purchased an XS with relaxed baggy fit with perfect length.
I can't even remember when i received my chemical pants, but they have lasted for ever. Easily over 600 + days on this pair and they are still my go to pants for any and all B/C days. Sledding or hiking, pow or corn, up, down, in bounds outta bounds, doesn't matter. These pants are the shit!!
I have a pair of these pants with over 300 days in them, and I still wear them. I have crashed onto rocks at CB, logged countless sled days,took them to Haines, and even painted a house wearing these. These are an evolution of the pants that put Flylow on the map, and they flat out will not die. If you are abusive on gear and want something that will hold up and even stay looking good, look no further.
I've used my Chem pants for everything from ski-mountaineering in the Tetons, to rainy resort days at Mt. Baker. Simply put, these pants can take it!!! In style nonetheless. The 4 huge vents allow you to charge uphill without overheating (even wearing knee pads) and the Cordura reinforced cuffs and knees are bomber. Functional, styli, and comfortable, everything you could ask for. I'm 5ft 9in and 155lbs and I wear a Medium.
