I'll Break the Ice

Okay, I bought these pants on a suspicion they SHOULD be good. I searched the internet for a review of these darn things and came up empty every time. Well, Summit Series strikes again. These pants are simply amazing. I originally bought Outdoor Research Furio Gore-tex pants and I was extremely disapointed with them. OR has a good track record and it's not that they were cheap quality, but they totally did not fit right and felt extremely bunchy in the legs. So, I checked TNF out and these pants were the only Summit Series Gore-tex shell they carried. I was shocked to not find one single review on these but I took the chance anyway. I swear I am so satisfied with these things I'd buy them in another color as well. They fit so nicely, not too big, not too small, and they fall right. The nice thing about them is they seem to be designed to compensate different body types. I can see the medium fitting a range of people in the medium sizing category, as a good pair of pants should (especially a shell). They arent too baggy where you feel like you should be walking down the street in the ghetto and not too tight where you feel they are almost spandex. These things are exactly what they should be. The venting under the thighs is a nice touch as well. I wore these on a 3 day winter camping/hiking trip and I didnt get one drop of moisture inside. They also are not hot and clammy like other shells. I hiked in with these on and I did not feel the least bit sweaty. I am 5'10", 175lbs. I bought the black pair. And at the end of the day, not only do they perform, but they look good doing it. I would definitely recommend these pants.
