Mountain Hardwear Tierra Pant - Women's

Item #MHW0922 | 82 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Nice fit, questionable material

By Ranked #555 - Women's Ski Pants June 2, 2009

So, I guess I should have paid more attention to the description of these pants when it said "Conduit laminate" because that is exactly how they feel, as if the material has been laminated. Which is weird because the pants have a pattern which makes them look as though they should be brushed nylon. (The pattern also makes the black considerably closer to grey, so if you want true black don't get these.) But I guess that's the price you pay for totally waterproof pants, and they do fit well, which is such a relief for a petite woman who has a ton of trouble finding pants that don't make me look like a puffball (5'2", 120lbs). I haven't tried them out in the snow yet but I moved around the house quite a bit and didn't have any trouble with the waist (and you can always sew a snap to the velcro part if you find it popping open.)
