Welcome to ski heaven. The waterproof breathable Mountain Hardwear Women’s Tierra Pants make tele-skiing, mogul runs, and XC trips a lot more betterer. Mountain Hardwear designed these pants with reinforced articulated knees to facilitate climbing and backcountry turns. The body consists of Ascent Stria, a tough yet lightweight blend of nylon and polyester with a DWR finish. The pants’ Conduit laminate guarantees waterproofness during the deepest days while maintaining an exceptional level of breathability—a necessary perk during those fast trips up the skin track.
Bottom Line: If skiing is your duty, the Tierra Pants are your uniform.
Do you know what the inseam is on the regular and long sizes? I'm thin but 6'0 so it's hard to find somehting that's long enough but not huge around the waist!
So, I guess I should have paid more attention to the description of these pants when it said "Conduit laminate" because that is exactly how they feel, as if the material has been laminated. Which is weird because the pants have a pattern which makes them look as though they should be brushed nylon. (The pattern also makes the black considerably closer to grey, so if you want true black don't get these.) But I guess that's the price you pay for totally waterproof pants, and they do fit well, which is such a relief for a petite woman who has a ton of trouble finding pants that don't make me look like a puffball (5'2", 120lbs). I haven't tried them out in the snow yet but I moved around the house quite a bit and didn't have any trouble with the waist (and you can always sew a snap to the velcro part if you find it popping open.)
Not really have a mens pair, just wearthermals under you will be ok----------------------This is a shell pant with no insulation. If you are looking for an insulated Ski pant check out the Freeride Pant from Mountain Hardwear. It is lined with primaloft (synthetic insulation) and will keep you very warm. Hope this helps!
I bought these pants at the beginning of the season and used them all winter for skiing on piste (telemarking) and for several backcountry tours. I'm 120 lbs, 5 foot 3 inches, not very hippy. I bought the small size and they fit nicely and look great (I've had many complements), but they have some serious functional problems. The waist is too low and does not cinch properly, so I get snow down my backside frequently (even with a tucked in shirt). You can use the velcro on each hip to tighten them, but as soon as you bend over the velcro pops open. A backcountry pant must sit higher on your waist to avoid this problem (or the cinching system must not be velcro). The end result is that these pants don't allow you full freedom of movement. I can't get them to sit at the right place on my hips so they fall a bit and then, when I am touring, hinder a free, full step. I find that extremely annoying.
I do like the material. It's as waterproof as I need it (sitting on a lift on a wet snow day, I was just a little damp at the very end of the day), and the side zips allow you to fully ventilate which is great. The gators at the bottom are perfectly done.
If I had to do it again, I would fork out more money for a full bib.
Hi, are those pants cut low or just at hip, or above it? What is the waist in inches for a medium? I would need 30" max., measured above hip. Thank you Maria Frei Freimaria@aol.com
I just bought these pants, haven't tried them out in the snow yet, but they fit just a tad bit higher than the waist, coming up higher in the back. The full side zip is a great feature, and I also like the little velcro tabs at the waist - so that you can pull them a bit tighter to keep out the snow. The one thing I am worried about is that I won't be able to fit my knee pads under them - the legs are fairly narrow.
I'm curious about the sizing. I'm about a size 6, but for a ski pant, I'd like a little extra room to add extra layers if needed. Would you recommend a small or medium? Also, I'm a little concernced about the complaints about the waterproofing mentioned on the men's version of this pant -- the Stance. Has MH inproved the waterproofing for this year's pant?
If you are about a size six, sometimes more, I would go with the Mediums. If you are about a size six sometimes a four, i would go with the smalls. Also, what you layer with can change everything. I'd go with the mediums if you tend to used a fleece layer or something thicker like that, and smalls if you typically where tights.
This is one of the best pants we have for the money when it comes to ski pants... and that is for any type skier! The men's version has won awards this season already... check out the Stance Pant for evidence!
