lightweight, but lacking

I've been wearing the Burton AK products for about 10 years, but this is the first 2L product that I've purchased. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I'm a skier, and wear mostly snowboard clothing because of the style and fit of the clothing. I ski between 50-70 days a season, and I ski mostly on the west coast in the Sierras where the temperatures are more temperate. I found the 2L Cyclic Pants to be decent for relatively warmer days on the mountain or in the backcountry, but because it is more of a "value" product, it lacks the superior construction of the Burton 3L products, and it's only benefit over the 3L products is its lighter weight. It will keep you dry for sure, but if you ski in a colder temperature environment, or are prone to having cold legs, I would recommend you purchase a different pair of pants. The Burton 3L products are great, but quite pricey, so you'll have to decide for yourself if Burton can meet your requirements.
