Well-rounded softshell pants for skiing
By Josh
Ranked #221 - Men's Softshell Pants
December 29, 2010
I've had these pants for a few weeks and have 10 backcountry days on them and 1 resort day -- these are an excellent blend of breathability, toughness and stretch.
+ Nice lightweight internal gaiters
+ hip pockets are unobtrusive and large
+ Easily-removable suspenders, and a great webbing belt keep you from sagging.
- I could not find these in a short length -- the inseam is insanely long for a small. I had them shortened, which solved the problem.
- These fit much larger than typical -- I am usually a medium and had to buy these in a small.
