Smarty Cargo Pants-Awesome

Ranked #159 - Men's Snowboard Pants
January 24, 2011
I purchased the 686 Smarty Cargo pants from Backcountry after reading many reviews, these pants live up to how they are billed. I skied with them this past weekend in northern VT with negative degree temp's at the peak and was not the least bit cold, the material feels very durable and the stiching appears strong and well put together. These pants are not as baggy as many you see on the mountain but they are not tight in the leg either. I am exchanging these for a large after having worn them once. I purchased the medium and they feel a bit tight in the waist to me with the liner ziped in--I am 5'11", 185 w/ a 34" waist but I like my pants to fit loose (and wear suspenders). The return policy at Backcountry is easy and probably the best you will find, I strongly recommend buying these pants and if you are not satisfied for any reason they will refund 100% of your purchase price less $6.99 for return shipping-how can you go wrong?
