Big vents, bigger knee brace

the huge vents make adjusting a knee brace a snap. Dumping heat is a plus also
Patrolling Pants

I use these every day on Ski Patrol. I heard this year's model uses a thinner fabric than prior years and isn't as well built, but I don't have experiance with them before this year so I can't comment on that. I have probably 60-70 days on them this year and they have held up reasonably well for the abuse I give them, a few cuts down on the legs but nothing huge. The left large outside vent zipper comes appart unless I have one of the pulls all the way at the top which is my only real complaint so far. They are comfortable and it is hard to find a pant with reinforced knees such as on these. I spend a lot of time kneeling at work doing patient care and the knees on the pants are still in good shape.

The best ski pants I have ever owned, and I've owned a lot! The size large is just a little too short to cover my Scarpa T-1's past the second buckle. I'm 6'1" with a 34" waist.

I'm 5'7, around 145-150 lbs., and my waist measures 31". Should I go with a Small or Medium? Thanks.
Steven Jones
Member since
You are right between the sizes, so you could go either way, depending on how you like the fit. There is a sizing chart below the price that may help.

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

New pants...

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.
The Burliest

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!

THE BEST
brendan
Member since
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.
Best Pants Ever
Garrett
Member since
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.
Best pants ever

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!!
Sick Pants!

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.

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.
These pants will not die
Rob Dickinson
Member since
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.
