Longest lasting pants in the whole world

By Josh Ranked #59 - Men's Ski Pants September 28, 2009

I am a destroyer of shell pants. I enjoy cramponing through them, ski-edging them to shreds, sitting on gum, etc. etc. And these damn pants have withstood all the abuse and still look fantabulous. This is 5 years after I bought them! 100s of ski and climbing days on multiple continents and very poor care by me have still resulted in a great pair of pants. When I bought them, I thought that they were the most expensive pants I'd ever owned. Now I know that they are actually the cheapest!

UPDATE -- After 10+ years, these pants started having an issue (the goretex membrane began to seperate from the overlying nylon)...I sent them to ArcTeryx with a nice note, not expecting too much, since these pants have litterally 500+ days on them. A very nice woman called me yesterday to say that my new pants were being shipped to me for the warranty return. With quality goods and the customer service to back it up, paying $400+ for a pair of pants seems downright reasonable. Many thanks to a company for building with craftsmanship and for backing that craftsmanship up with an oustanding warranty.
