Gear Review
Stylish, Functional, and Tough
By Matthew Tabrys
Ranked #33 - Men's Ski Pants
August 30, 2011
These are one of favorite ski pants, and I'm on my second pair. My first pair was its predecessor the monte cargo. Now I'm on my second pair, the fargo cargo, and I couldn't be happier. These things are really stylish. They are definitely modern and athlete inspired. They are baggy enough that you have some extra room, a little sag, and still look cool, without being so baggy that you look like a park rat with a tall tee. I'm 5'8" and 160 lbs, and the medium fit perfectly. These things are super functional too. They have tons of pockets everywhere. The cargo pockets are HUGE and store a lot of snacks and other things. They are pretty waterproof and breathable. I used them all winter long, about 50 days of skiing, and skied in ever condition except pouring rain, and these kept me dry and warm, but not too warm. And after almost 50 days of skiing, the only damage is a few small nicks in the fabric on the inner ankle area from the ski edge brushing against it. Solid pants for a great price.
