The pants I've been looking for

I tried these on at an REI last year but the S was a tad large on me. Saw the XS on this site (for less) and promptly ordered them, in the short length. They were so much too small that I thought I should try the S again (I'm a size 6, maybe the ones I tried were mislabeled?), in the regular length (I've got a 30-inch inseam). Perfect fit.

Features: Nice lower rise, with the option to snug the pants up at the back waist. Good pocket placement (for small flat items), including one below the knee on the outside right leg, and a pass clip inside the right hip pocket. Extra velcro tab behind the snaps (so exertion doesn't pop them open). Great finish, cozy inside without being an "insulated" pant.

They're replacing my tried and true wool stretch ski pants, which have seen better days. I was looking for low rise fitted wool pants. These seem like they'll go that one better--less likely to stretch out and wrinkle with a week's hard skiing.
