I just got into skiing and realized very quickly that wearing rain pants would not cut it. I've worn these pants out on 6 or 7 ski expeditions and a couple snow shoe outings. Overall I'm very satisfied

I picked these guys up and love them. They're very good in keeping out wind and melted snow or rain. I have always worn a base layer with them even though they do have a liner which offers some insulation.

I've managed to get a small cut around on the bottom of one of the pants..don't know how that happened, and I'm not too excited about the liner which is a sky aqua blue. Maybe things are different in the wide world of snow sports, but to me, it just seems a bit like a chick color. Not really a big deal and certainly doesn't take away from these pants which have performed very well for me as I've learned the rigors of skiing.

The pants are original with a lot of pockets. Really comfortable and breathable.
The only negative points is that they are not as wind-proof as I would have like, but hey... I ride in Lake Tahoe so extreme weather is not a huge factor.

Another reviewer wrote about how yellow these pants were. Well for me, they are not yellow enough. I think the picture is pretty accurate. They are definitely yellow, not fluoro, and not khaki.

Apart from the color - they are functional. They keep my legs warm when I want, and cool down when I unzip the sides when hiking.

OK. Let's just chalk this up to poor color quality on my laptop screen. I know that the color is listed as Cotton YELLOW but it didn't come across that way on the screen. It looked more like a yellow-ish khaki; like a pair of Mountain Khaki pants, maybe. I was wrong; the pants are pretty yellow. If that's your thing fine; it just wasn't what I expected.

I must say I liked everything else about the pants: fit, finish, and features were spot on for this price-point. Had they been less yellow (read more khaki), I would have kept them. I just can't speak to functionality as I didn't do more than try them on.
