Get yourself one of these!!!

Ranked #214 - Men's Snowboard Pants
December 16, 2009
I will never settle for anything less than the performance of Gore-Tex Pro after wearing these pants. 12-12-2009 was an epic day at Mammoth Mountain, CA and perfect conditions to test out these pants for the first time. A storm dropped over 36" in 24 hours and temps were in the low 20's. It was flurrying ALL day and you were getting pummeled on the lift and mountain with strong winds and torrents of snow. The pants kept me COMPLETELY dry. Not a single drop of water or flake of snow could hang on to these pants. Windproof performance was excellent as well. All I had underneath them was an Icebreaker mid-weight underpant and that combo kept me comfortable.
I'm 5'5" with an athletic build and a small fits me perfect due to the nature of the AK fit. Don't like things to get too baggy and I'm glad the size I got worked out so well. The huge pockets are a great feature and I'm glad they came with the RiRi zippers. You will be thankful for the butt flap too.
These pants perform well above anyone's expectations and definitely deserves five stars.
