I love these shell pants
By Andrew McLean
Ranked #287 - Men's Ski Pants
January 27, 2009
I wear a pair of MHW Vertical pants over some MHW Synchro softshell pants for 99% of my backcountry skiing. Both pants have full side zips, which means you can vent them all the way down to bare skin without stopping, or mix and match for perfect tempature control.
At first the Vertical fabric (ProShell) doesn't seem burly enough to withstand hard useage, but after a year and a half, mine are still going strong.
