SmartWool NTS Midweight Boot Top Bottom - Women's - 2009 BCS

I really love these pants. I wore them in Colorado a few weeks ago when it was in the negative temps and was perfectly warm.

Pros: super warm, soft, love the boot cut, moisture wicking

Cons: I ordered a M but should have ordered a S, the waistband is too small and they're somewhat high wasted

Bottom-line - I will order another pair but will order them in a small

I wasn't sure about the boot cut, but it turns out they're sweet. My ski socks come up over the bottoms of these pants, and I don't have to worry about scrunching long pants up above my boots. They're also very warm and do a great job of keeping you dry. Soft, too!

i ordered these recently and held my breath because it was my first purchase of smartwool base layers (have many sox) and because i had to get xs when i might have ordered s if available. i had read reviews of smartwool tops that cautioned against them being too tight and small for size. i love my xs. since this is a next to skin layer it is perfect. i'm 5'0''/115lbs and i like xs for next to skin and s for second layer. smartwool is luscious. l look for reasons to wear it.

I wear only these under my snowboard pants in 15 degree weather and I'm warm.

I don't care for the waist band, it's thin and not flattering. On the first day they were riding up, but I pull my socks up over them and they stay in place.

I love these pants; just the right length to keep me warm without causing a pinching in my ski boots. NO indention line in my skin at the end of the day like with long pants and no annoying pain at the bottom seam line halfway through the day reminding me that I have on LONG pants under my ski pants, and me knowing there is no relief for this without removing my LONG under layer and freezing for the rest of the ski day! So I am happy with these shorter pants, cozy and warm and can stay on the slope ALL day, without adjusting socks and boots and seamlines!!

Wife just used this today for 2 hours for the first time and discovered a tear on the lower hamstring area. Hasn't even been washed yet. She's contacting SAC support as I type.
We've purchased 2 other base layer items she hasn't tried yet...hope they're a bit more durable.
Very disappointed.

SAC shipped a replacement unit and it's great. Stars changed from 2 to 5. Thanks to the great customer support.

Fit is great - not too high (maybe a couple of inches below belly button) & the capri is perfect for wearing with ski boots. Used as a base layer under a pair of light weight ski pants and worked great. Not itchy at all as you would expect from Smartwool. Also bought a pair of the Icebreaker capri length long underwear and really prefer the fit of the Smartwool. Highly recommend.
