Arc'teryx Beta AR Pant - Men's

Ranked #1094 - Men's Ski Pants
November 10, 2009
the quality looks first class and the waterprood side leg zips are perfect, they zip from top down (ventilation) and bottom upwards for fitting. The articulated knees are more than sufficient - you can almost do a squat without any chauffing on the knees. They are light and there is no added fabric for anything other than to keep you dry and free from wind. A bigger pocket would have been usefull, but these would be a perfect outer layer.
The fit aound my waist seemed a little tight (maybe too much pudding!), leg length seems ok, maybe a little long - so not sure if I got the sizing mixed up. Cant wait to get out and test them.
I couldnt have expected a higher quality product!
