Solid, runs big, tall sizes are tall

Ranked #1024 - Men's Ski Pants

These definitely run large -- I'm often an "XXL" in other clothing categories, but the XXL/Tall size was WAY too big through the leg and almost TOO tall for me. That's tough to do, since I'm 6'6" and about 265 lbs. I need an XL/Tall, but they don't have it in stock in the closeouts of last year's model.
No actual field experience to report, but seem very water/windproof. High quality construction, laminated seams, 'snagless' interior that won't catch on base layers or gear. NOT insulated (which is good IMO for a shell pant). The bottoms of the legs are reinforced, but not as heavily 'armored' as I've seen on some other ski pants.
Pricey, but if you need high-quality big+tall ski pants, Arc'Teryx makes the best.
