Very warm pants!

Ranked #165 - Men's Pants
March 4, 2008
I ordered these pants after coming back from a winter camping trip in Wyoming in January that left me wishing for more insulation. They are extremely warm! The waterproof fabric is also a huge bonus seeing as they are insulated with down instead of synthetic. I was concerned about the zipper as it didn't unzip the pants for easy on/off, but I found I could undo the zippers most of the way, making the leg tunnels huge, and easily step in even wearing ski boots and booties. I used them in the Adirondacks for a ski trip and was almost too warm. I also spilt a bit of water on them while cleaning out my bowl and was delighted to see the water just roll down the fabric. I am a smaller woman (125lbs, 5'2'') and ordered a men's small. They fit nicely over my long underwear layers and are a great length (not too long like most men's ski apparel.) A medium would have fit over all my lower body layers including my ski pants, but I think they would have been way too long. All in all, a great product.
