The Bad News Wins

By Ranked #56 - Cross Country Skiing February 2, 2009

First, I loved these pants - the right combination of supple/stretchy material not too thick for aerobic excercise (I skate ski, run, and snowshoe run) in a great fit! Wow! Then I turned around to look at the back in my mirror, and ARGGGHHH! Whoa, what's with those big black rectangle panels on my butt? It's downight unsightly! I'm normally not very fashion-conscious, and often only have the company of my dogs, but somehow I couldn't get past wearing these square bull's eyes on my rump. I WANTED to put up with the eyesore, because I've looked so long and hard for such a nice weight and fabric pant (and great fit!) but I eventually had to send them back. The final straw was the fact that those ugly black panels aren't water resistant, and when I snowshoe the snow kicks up on the back of my legs - so I really need some protection there, and certainly not ugly black patches. Still Searching.....
