686 Smarty Original Cargo Pant - Men's

You can't get a better snow pant without spending twice as much or more.

One word about the fit - I have a 33"-34" waist and the mediums are way too big. The pants fall off of my waist. I have them in a small and the fit is absolutely perfect.

They are as good as it gets. Fit great and they leave room for maneuvering. I just wore them in 10 degree weather with 30 mph winds and they kept me warm and dry. BC.com was also great with customer service and fast shipping. Thanks!

These pants are some of the best I've owned. The liner is great because you can just unzip the pants, slide them off and you're good to go for the ride home. They'll keep you warm in any conditions and you can take the liner out in the spring for warmer weather. The only downside, which Backcountry makes pretty clear is that they run big. My only gripe is that they are way too long so when you are wearing shoes on the way up the hill, they drag all over the ground. They are definitely on the baggy side so if that's your style, no need to move up a size.

I've worn this pant a couple times now and I have to say it is one of the best ski pants I've ever used. The removable liner is key. I skied on a 55 degree sunny day with the liners taken out and the vents halfway open and was super comfortable. I've also skied at Loveland (LoveWind) in 5 degree temps with 50 mph gusts and didn't need any other layer underneath. The liners inside kept me nice and toasty. The fit runs a little big so size down when you order. The fit is also a little roomy but not too baggy. I'm in my thirties and don't really want to sport the hoodlum look. The pants have plenty of well thought out pockets with both zipper closures and flaps to keep out the pow. So far I haven't had any leaking through the material even when sitting in the snow for ten minutes which is a real plus. Overall, I can't think of anything to gripe about and I'm a pretty picky dude.

These pants are awesome. I'm a skier and have been in search of a pant with cargo pockets (I like pockets that are on top of the leg, not within the leg, so as not to put pressure on your legs when bending around), good breathability (with vents), good fit, stylish looks, and last but very importantly removable insulation. It took me forever to find the perfect pants but I finally did thanks to a friend that boards. These pants have it all: tons of pockets (plenty of them with great closure and with excellent touches like sub-pockets for locker keys, hook/clasps for attaching car keys, etc), hooks for lift passes, vents, jacket snaps to keep the powder skirt attached on heavy powder days, very comfortable fit that's not overly baggy (I prefer a slim yet comfortable fit), and style! Most importantly is the KILLER fleece track pant liner that zips into the pant for use on cold days. I LOVE this liner! The liner even has snaps on the legs for rolling up the legs and snapping into a 3/4 position, perfect for skiers (686 sells a Smarty Access pant with liners that are only 3/4 length, but these I couldn't find these anywhere to check out). For you boarders the gaiters have Boa slots (that close with hook/loop fastener covers if you don't need 'em) and a small 8mm/10mm wrench in a stash pocket near the end of one leg that doubles as a bottle opener. I can't say enough about these pants :)

I own these in the green color, which unfortunetly isn't sold here, or is sold out, and they are by far the best pair of pants I have ever wore, and seen. The quality on them, and attention to detail is insane, and they are super comfy, super warm.

Pants are great warm cool colar if tou want to stick out of the crowd you know we all do legs vents are great cool u off quick lots of pockets also pant have perfect flex and they don't get stick to your legs when u sweat
