Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Shell Pant - Women's
Pro shell is the way to go

The Lofotens are made with a burly three layer fabric that will hold up to tree branches, sharp rocks, and ski edges. Heavy duty reinforced cuffs= huge plus, as that's where my pants start to shred first. Although not insulated at all they do provide some warmth due to the three layer gore-tex.
I'm 5'11", so finding long enough pants is always a big deal. I wear a women's size large and bought an XL in these to get the extra inch of length. I have a 35" inseam and they just brush the ground when I'm barefoot. For comparison, they are about an inch shorter than the Arc'teryx Sentinel in large/tall size (which I also LOVE!) The XL is pretty baggy, but the bibs hold them up and I have lots of room to move around. Love the bibs, by the way- they keep powder/wind out.
The fields of gold/festival fuchsia color is BRIGHT. Don't buy it if you aren't ready for the attention! Everyone will recognize you the minute you hit the mountain.

One other note- if you need even more length, the men's L fit me just a bit narrower in the bum, but otherwise seems to be an identical fit to the women's XL. I ended up with the women's because of the available colors.
