Powderhorn Jesse James Pant - Men's - 2007 BCS

These pants are excellent for everyday skiing and riding. Use the suspenders to keep them up or let them hang low for increased style points. No matter what you are into these pants are awesome. They are not, however, the warmest pants I've ever used. But this is easy to fix with more layers or even the Airblaster Ninja Suit one-piece.

The Jesse James pants have a rustic elegance and western flare. They are moderately insulated so I am able to control their warmth with my different base layers. The fit is true, though I would prefer slightly more room in the crouch and upper thighs. I had no problems with soaking or dampness after full days of boarding and snowshoeing. The suspenders are removable and the back waistline has pull-tabs with Velcro to allow cinching for a tighter fit. The inner thigh vents are taped sealed zippers. The back 2 pockets are normal zippers tucked under flaps, while the front 2 pockets are vertical taped sealed zippers; and the right thigh has a buttoned cargo pocket. The fly is a normal zipper. My only complaint, I would like boot attaching hooks on the gaiters—though most people don’t prefer them.

Really liked the pant style. Ordered a medium (I'm 5'10" 150lbs with a 32" waist). Unfortunately the waist band on the mediums had to be about 36". Even synching the velcro/elasitc adjusters to the max, I couldn't get them to fit. Not entirely sure who the pant size was designed for, certainly not me.
