Great, up to date ski pants

I have an old pair of Patagonia pants that, after 10yrs, have been great on wear and comfort but have lost their waterproofing. I received these Chute to Thrill Pants as a gift. Excellent water repellency (I have had a chance to test this feature in significant snowfall and, alas, rain) and fit. Secure fit over ski boots even without using the additional attachment features provided. Two minor quibbles. First, the pockets are not as comfortable to get in and out of as my old pants--I think if the zipper were oriented more vertically access would be easier. Second, one of the suspenders tends to fall off my shoulder unless I keep the straps especially tight--I have also thought of rigging a tie to attach the two straps across my chest, but have not done this yet. As I said, these are quibbles. Overall a fine pair of pants that I expect to give me years of service.
