Good shell pants

Nice, durable, gore-tex shell pants with full side zips. I've mainly been using these for hiking / mountaineering and they have kept me really dry. Stash it at the bottom of my pack and when needed, super easy on and off with the full zip. The gore-tex pro shell feels very durable, too, and is reinforced in all the essential places.
With all that said, I have two small complaints
1. These run a bit short. I'm 5'3" and nothing is short on me! ;-) I usually wear these over gaiters so it's fine, but they are a tad bit short.
2. no pockets at all. As noted in the other review, these pants have no pockets (other than the one near the ankle which i've never used). I see the benefits of this, and as a shell pant, it's just fine...but I wouldn't necessarily want to wear these as a go-to ski pant just because it's pretty inconvenient not to have any pockets.
