I ordered a pair and unlike the description stated, they were definitely insulated.

This is only a shell pant, so while I would expect it to be wind/waterproof, it is not going to be inherently warm, although the fact that it is less breathable than materials such as gore-tex or eVent might mean that it holds heat a little bit better. If you are going to be using these in cold conditions, I'd be prepared to wear at least a light baselayer underneath, and maybe more depending on your tolerance to cold. I'd assume that the 5K waterproofing should be good for use in wet snow. In general, unless you are sitting on the snow a lot, I can't imagine that you would get enough moisture sitting on the pants to even start to cause a problem. If the style speaks to you, I'd say try them and write a review for everyone else. At worst you can always take advantage of backcountry.com's awesome return policy if the pants don't meet your needs.
