Should have listened to negative reviews

It's mountain hardware, how bad can they be? Really?

Bad if you're using them for skiing. And not worth the cash if you're mountaineering.

Wind blows right through them. No warmth whatsoever. And the wet snow melted and soaked them so fast that within 1/2 the lift ride they were wet to my base layer. For skiing, I say they're terrible. I normally ski in hard shells and boxers 'cause I run warm, and for my first season in 10 years I'm wearing thermals. I don't normally want insulation, but shesh, how about a little wind protection?

I've sliced through the ankles in the second month of owning them, but I'm learning tele this season. If you're a better skier you may not have that issue.

Full length zips might be nice if you were mountaineering, but they're more of a pain in the butt for skiing. Fortunately (as noted above) I don't want any ventilation either. The fabric does that for me. Possibly the worst outdoor gear purchase I've ever had.
