By robnow Ranked #254 - Men's Ski Pants December 13, 2010

Every year I'm on the search for a pant and jacket that I'm totally happy with and every year I settle for something mediocre and sell it off the following year. Well this season, my search has finally ended. These Peak Heli Softshell pants are just about PERFECT!!

The criteria I look to fill:
- Technical fabrics for the wet.
- Something that fits well at 6'2", 195 lbs, wear 32/34 jeans. This is where I have the hardest time. Larges tend to fit to short and XLs fit to fat/boxy.
- Something with some style and color, also the added comfort of Softshell helps.

First off, these pants fit AMAZINGLY. I went with XL for some baggyness with good shape, could have done L for a more fitted look. As far as I can tell, Peaks come with the longest inseams and smaller waist sizes relative to any other brand, so great for us taller/slimmer folk.

Super nice fabric, soft/stretchy outer, great colors.

I never thought I would dig the bib, feel like with most would overheat due to the extra coverage, but wearing it around, I like it and very breathable mesh top component.

Excellent features including the Pant/Jacket interface that works very well and the long side zips from hip-mid calf.

Expensive, yes, but do yourself a favor, and SPLURGE. These are worth it, unbeatable by anything else out there.

Don't want Gore Softshell, go with the Heli Pro Shells.

BUY THESE!!
