Arc'teryx Beta AR Pant - Men's
Terrific Ski Pant
By Michael Baker
Ranked #1304 - Men's Ski Pants
November 7, 2009
These are well-made, versatile ski pants.
I appreciate that Arc'teryx makes talls. I'm 6'5" with a size 14 foot, and I can get these on without taking off my ski boots. The side zips go up high enough, unlike THF pants I had before. This is huge for me!
I can wear these ski pants with just shorts underneath in spring conditions, or with long underwear and fleece when it's cold.
I've never been wet in them even after sitting on a soaking wet chair lift up the mountain. The powder cuff gaiters don't let any snow in over my boot tops.
They are expensive, but I got them at Backcounty's sale, which mitigated some of the ouch factor. The only negative is that I wish the pocket was larger.
