Sessions Achilles Pant - Men's
Quality quality snowpant

Ranked #386 - Men's Snowboard Pants
December 3, 2008
I picked up a pair of these for a good deal as my ski pant for Whistler. Used them 28 times at W/B in and out of bounds and they served me well.
I'm a 32-32 when it comes to jeans (I like my jeans to fit a little loose like most do) and I picked up the large based on the 32" inseam. Pants fit but are quite baggy (enough that I have to pull em up when I clip in). Waist is big so belt is a must. Looks damn good on the hill though.
As far as waterproofing, I had no complaints through the year. They were never cold, never hot and the crotchzips + extra pockets are key. I also leave my pass safely inside them since there's a built in clip that keeps it form slipping out my pocket. I have NO need for anything but a pair of Goretex bib pants now.
