Poor design detracts from otherwise good pant

By Canadian Ski Bum Ranked #47 - Men's Ski Pants April 5, 2007

Had a chance to try these out a few times now and in terms of weatherproofness they seem to hold up well. The relaxed fit is stylish and quite comfortable and despite what the description says, they do have leg zip vents - on the inside of the thighs. However, I found a few issues while wearing them. First, no adjustable waist. There are belt loops, but that just means one more thing for me to forget to pack. Second, the cargo pockets are placed over top of the waist pockets. What good are they there? Lastly, the cuff guards are the smallest I've seen on a pair of ski pants, which worries me that I'm likely to be patching cuts in the future. As I said, as a whole they are decent pants, and much of these issued are just personal preference based on what I've been used to in the past, but from my own experience there are better options out there that don't have these problems. Try the Marmot Cargo Pant or North Face Freedom Pant instead.
