The North Face Freedom Insulated Pant - Men's
An okay ski pant---good for the price

I'm not thrilled with these ski pants, but for the $140 they cost I'm certainly not disappointed. The fit is very good...just baggy enough to look cool, but not overly snowboarder/Tanner Hall gangster-baggy. The DWR finish didn't last that long and I found myself re-treating the pants about twice per year. If I didn't they would absorb some water and become damp, but not saturate through. The insulation kept me warm into the 30's with just shorts on underneath. My biggest complaint is that the scuff guard on the ankles doesn't even come up to the top of my ski boot---I cut the pants all up with my ski edges, and had to retire the pants after ~40 ski days. But, for a cheap pant, they're pretty good. Also, I am 5'8", 30" waist, 31" inseam and the medium fit pretty good.
