Absolutely fantastic

These pants are awesome. I'm a skier and have been in search of a pant with cargo pockets (I like pockets that are on top of the leg, not within the leg, so as not to put pressure on your legs when bending around), good breathability (with vents), good fit, stylish looks, and last but very importantly removable insulation. It took me forever to find the perfect pants but I finally did thanks to a friend that boards. These pants have it all: tons of pockets (plenty of them with great closure and with excellent touches like sub-pockets for locker keys, hook/clasps for attaching car keys, etc), hooks for lift passes, vents, jacket snaps to keep the powder skirt attached on heavy powder days, very comfortable fit that's not overly baggy (I prefer a slim yet comfortable fit), and style! Most importantly is the KILLER fleece track pant liner that zips into the pant for use on cold days. I LOVE this liner! The liner even has snaps on the legs for rolling up the legs and snapping into a 3/4 position, perfect for skiers (686 sells a Smarty Access pant with liners that are only 3/4 length, but these I couldn't find these anywhere to check out). For you boarders the gaiters have Boa slots (that close with hook/loop fastener covers if you don't need 'em) and a small 8mm/10mm wrench in a stash pocket near the end of one leg that doubles as a bottle opener. I can't say enough about these pants :)
