Marmot Glade Ski Pant - Women's - 2007 BCS

These are heavy softshell pants that do great in the snow. I haven't been wet, and I haven't been cold. Flattering fit, too!

dont get me wrong - these are slim. But theyre not legging-tight, and that's what I was looking for. if they were jeans, they'd be slightly relaxed - maybe you'd call them boot cut or straight leg. either way, they were slimmer than most ski/snowboard pants ive tried, but i was looking for the snow bunny type of pant that used to be really popular in the 80's - very, very slim. My bf, however, thought they were really hot (look-wise). They held up very nicely performance-wise - considering that they were white, they didnt stain all that much, and were comfy when skiing - plenty of stretch even without gussetted/articulated knees. Only complain is that even with a baselayer underneath, on some days (skiing in NH and VT), i was a little cold. I do tend to be cold in general, and my jacket wasnt insulated (I was wearing lots of layers instead), so it couldve been taht my core was just chilled and had I worn an insulated jacket, it wouldve been fine, but the pants are not insulated so I guess it's par for the course. Overall, great pant - wouldve kept them if the fit had been slimmer.

I put this ski pant up next to a "shell" type Roxi pant that I have and the leg is a good inch and a half narrower in the fit. I love this because I have slender legs and it looks much better. Skiied in the pouring rain last weekend for half a day until I gave up and although I eventually was wet in the seat from sitting on the chair lift, I was completely warm. I would recommend water-proofing these if you plan to ski in wet envoironments - that is only the reason I didn't give these a 5 star. Stylish, comfortable and wind resistant.

Nice medium wight all mountain ski pant, outer material split mulitple places after one-two uses at the outer cuff by your boot buckles. Small tears, but fabric shouldn't worn like that after such little use.
