worth the money

After getting sub-par brands I sucked it up and got these and am so pleased. They are your usual ARC smallish sizing. I'm a size 2 to 4 and I went with the small so I'd be comfy with my layers on underneath. the XS was pretty tight for me but I curvy, if you're a straight athletic build and a size 2 the XS would probably be fine. Anyway, they are pretty much waterproof with the Gore-Tex Soft Shell and I stay warm with the soft fleece lining even skiing in -5 F temperatures with good merino underneath. I actually get TOO warm in them if I have thicker layers on but they are awesome. I think touring would be too hot in these in the backcountry but for resort skiing and shorter hikes I'm totally fine in these and the construction is so much better than my crappy old ski pants. These don't rip and they are just bomber. I wish Arc'teryx made petite pants, being 4'11'' mine are so long that when I take my ski boots off I have to roll them up to wear with regular winter boots.
