By Icerider Ranked #564 - Men's Ski Pants March 6, 2009

My 2-star grade is based on the, in my opinion, poor product description.

These pants are a 2-layer GoreTex construction and have fleece-like lining material (can the pant still be called a shell?). This may be well and good if it's cold and you mostly ski resort & park where there's a lot of standing around and/or sitting in lifts. However, if you do a lot of back/sidecountry touring or boot packing these pants will likely roast you. The fleece will make them very warm and the thigh vents will not be enough.

On the positive side, they have a baggy fit (which I like). I'm 5'11", 195lbs and straddle the medium/large divide in most cases, but with these the medium fit great. Pockets are plentyful and well placed. The scuff protection at hems is a good idea as well.

Can't speak to the quality and actual performance as they went back the next day. Based on the description I was expecting something more lightweight.
