best thing out there

By Matt Oakley Ranked #436 - Men's Ski Pants June 8, 2010

I researched pants like this for a few months before going with these. I think I made a good choice. For me a medium ran a little large in the waist (im 6'2" with a 33" waist) but they will allow for me to fit them comfortably over my soft shell pants if I'm out in really cold conditions. The extra material does not bother me at all with normal base layers.

The venting options are good (full length from top and bottom) the suspenders are adjustable and comfortable. I love the low bib design, it is very nice with a harness on and keeps the cold and snow out. The bib material is more of a softshell like material and is a bit more breathable. The zippers are good and waterproof and the material overall is very tough. The internal gaiters are removable.

In my opinion you could not get a better pant for wet winter climbing.
