I really liked skiing in these bad boys - they're a run-of-the mill ski pant that gives you the right options without an insane price tag. The front pocket's good for stashing bulkier stuff - velcro closure is solid but i wouldn't put my keys in it. The venting system is pretty smart in how provides a gaiter that keeps the snow out but lets air flow most of the way up your leg. Knees are a little articulated for comfort and there's a fleecy lining (NOT insulated). There's an extra layer of canvas where your boots rub together for durability too. Adjustable waist straps are a must if you're skiing over the holidays and grandpa won't lend you his suspenders.
Usually wear a 32"/32" and the Med/Reg was right on.

Wore these for some long ski days in Colorado and they performed very well. I really like how the pseudo-gauntlet construction locks out the snow but keeps from getting caught on stuff, filled with powder, or looking like a cartoon villain. The zipper makes them easy to get on/off too. Warm and waterproof with burly construction that kinda reminds me of a hockey glove.
There's room for improvement on the dexterity: a seam runs down the middle of each fingertip, and the glove's taking a bit to break in. Also, the merino lining is a towel-like knit that adds warmth but tears up your cuticles (boo hoo a hangnail)
~Made in China (the tag said it came with a hood & had a powderskirt!)
Great cold weather glove overall, just don't try to pick your nose with it

Just got a medium/flint in the mail. Color is way more of a dark gray than depicted; looks more like... Flint. Good initial quality with a lightweight-denim feel. Unfortunately, it has ~4 extra inches around the gut (than a medium Columbia silver ridge shirt) & not worth the effort to tailor.
-Made in India too if it matters

Just spent some time with my buddy's Stoic Bombshell and it's pretty sweet. It's basically the next generation of the BC.com Stoic 2.0 Shell (item #BCC0145) with some great new features. The cuffs and powderskirt will keep the snow out, but can be removed/tucked away when you dont need them. There are a few new pockets & smart ventilation.
Fit is the same as most BC gear: athletic with longer arms. And the hood should accommodate a helmet. Note: this is still a (soft)shell, so be sure you've got a quality insulating layer to match conditions. You can probably get a deal on last year's BC wool siphon hoody or the BC prime powerstretch top if you don't like rocking 2 hoods and losing style points.
VERY intelligent design and bomber construction throughout. The only pitfall I can see is that the thin elastic cord used to cinch the hood and waist will wear out eventually, but with a lifetime warranty & stellar customer service I wouldnt sweat it. 5 stars & will update if it under-performs over Thanksgiving.
Also, check out stoicgear.com for better pics & a bit more info (the site just launched so try later if it doesn't work). One last thing - this jacket's worth the full price, but with a little patience or searching you can probably get it way cheaper.

I'm 6' 165lbs - got a Large and have a little room. Comfortable, warm, breathable and stylish, this jacket straight up rocks. Looks good around town and is durable enough for the backcountry. Blocks a fair amount of wind and sheds some water. The inner lining makes it really soft on the skin without being too cumbersome. Don't expect the hood to fit like a Hoody -- not quite as comfortable but way better in the elements. And the inner cuff takes a little getting used to, but you won't want to go back after that.

Really like this thing... at 6' and 165lbs, large fits well length-wise with room for inevitable weight gain. The 4-way stretch and fleece-y inside make it pajama-grade comfortable with a great warmth-factor. Solid flat seam construction everywhere except the base of the collar isn't flat. Pocket is kinda small but just the right size for an ID, some cash and an iPod shuffle... and it's secured into the material so it won't flop around when you're moving. Gets good loft for the weight to keep heat in... 0% water resistant and ~50% wind resistant

Price is awesome for polartec gear, especially getting it from S&C ($35). Sharkskin color is a little paler than online, but still stylish.

Overall great design, 4.5 stars for some minor stuff - i'd like the cuff's a bit tighter and some sturdier zippers, etc. May update after I finish putting it through its paces.
