Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Shell Pant - Men's
The best shell pant I've seen

Ranked #125 - Men's Ski Pants

The craftsmanship, material, fashion and ingenuity of this pant is second to none. The moment I saw it, I deemed it worthy of its price tag. The only downside (for me that is) was that the pants run a bit smaller (in waist) than those of other brands. I'm about waist size 31~32, about 170lbs and 5'11" and the small ended up being a bit too tight. I'd definitely size up from what you normally wear (especially if you wear those sizes for TNF or Burton shell pants). I'd say the sizes run more closely to Arc'teryx shells. Additionally, the pants are quite baggy. I have relatively thick thighs and calves and they were baggy on me...which isn't an issue, more a matter of your personal taste. Ordered the small, and by the time I needed to exchange for a medium, it was already sold out. Oh well, I'll get one early next year.
