Backcountry.com Prime Power Stretch Pant - Women's

Comfy & warm, but...

By Ranked #290 - Women's Performance Tights December 3, 2008

These pants are made of the most comfortable fabric ever... it is a thick and stretchy fleece/polyester. The material has two very distinct sides: the inside of the pant is plush and fleece-like, while the outside is smooth and has an almost track-jacket look to it. They are definitely warm and ridiculously soft, and I can certainly recommend them in that regard. In fact, they make for a PERFECT insulating layer for cold-weather skiing; I wore them last winter under my ski pants for added warmth. However, be prepared for the slightly awkward elastic waist-band. There is a large piece of elastic at the top which the pants are folded over and fully sewn around in the back but not in the front. It is quite hard to explain, but the bottom line is, you cannot roll these pants over. Also, the lack of a seam on the front waist looks a little funny (in my opinion). But they are growing on me and they are so comfy and warm that I cannot help but to keep them.
