Gear Review
No more butt glacier!
By Cody Barnhill
Ranked #70 - Men's Ski Pants
February 10, 2009
I think these pants are totally kick ass. I am on my second pair and will again be using these until they no longer look like pants, then I will likely be getting another pair... I ski in them almost exclusively, and the bib style has virtually erased the 'butt glacier' phenomenon, as well and the chest chills from snow blowing up into your coat on those nipple deep blower days. In short, there isn't really anything I would change about these pants. They're simple, functional, waterproof, and they handle a beating.
