I've been on these the last two seasons and I'm very pleased. They are perfect for backcountry touring. I like the big pockets down on the legs instead of standard around the hips. It makes getting into much easier when you have a pack/jacket/harness on. Full length side zips are key for venting. I read about the durability issues, but I haven't had any yet.
Durability an issue

The pros - this pant looks great, feels great, fits great (I'm 5'10" and went for a medium, regular length), breathes great for skiing and touring.
The BIG con - the pant cuff material used to guard against damage from ski edges is nowhere near burly enough. By lunchtime on my first day skiing with them, I already had two gashes right through both the edge guard material and the shell material beneath. I put another gash in them on my second day skiing. At this rate they'll look like swiss cheese by season's end. I've been in contact with Mountain Hardwear's warranty department but am not optimistic.

Inner thigh vent zips?
or
3/4 length outside zips?
Which is it? Can't see any inner thigh vent zips on the photo.

There are no inner thigh vents on these pants. Only side zips that start at about the mid thigh and go all the way down to the ankle. I returned mine because they are way too baggy for a touring/mountaineering pant.

The description mentions hook and loop straps. Are these pants compatible with some suspenders? Where can we get them?
Jon Webb

rya. You know, I am not sure quite what they are suggesting with that description. The Snowpocalypse Pant never had suspenders and don't have attachment points for them anyway. They do however have velcro (hook and loop) tabs on the side that allow you to micro adjust the waist as needed. Perhaps that is the meaning. I hope this info helps!

Hey Whats the difference between the MH Snowpocalypse and the Bokta pants
This will survive mother nature's explosive dumps.

These pants are delicious. Not to the taste, but to the sight. I bought the bonfire color to go with my blue Snowpocalypse jacket and the combo is amazing. The orange color is slightly more vibrant than pictured, but not crazy hunter orange. I almost purchased the Botka pant with the Jovian jacket. The Botka is a great pant and the red looks really good. But this pant is slightly roomier and is more funtional for the resort skier (which is where I ski 90% of the time).
I'm 6'1" 165 lbs and I went with the medium long. The fit is great with enough room for my long underwear and no loss of range of motion. This pant material is slightly thicker than the Botka which I am hoping will handle more crazy crashes or, given the chance, the Snowpocalypse of my wildest dreams. Bring it on mother nature. I'm ready for whatever you can dump.

Please write a review after you have used the product, not just on how snappy the color looks.

Those colors hurt my eyes, I understand if you are lost and need to be located the bright colors help but I have always preferred subdued colors more in the shades of the environment and keep the loud colors for the club (well not too loud there either) but that is just how I roll ; you enjoy the attention though.
