The North Face Freedom Insulated Boot-Cut Pant - Women's - 2009 BCS

It's the end of ugly ski pants! I did a lot of spring skiing last season and wore these pants from March until June through sun and snowstorms. They're a midweight pant and aren't too bulky. With a pair of running tights underneath they were perfect on the groomers and I stayed warm and dry all day. The thigh vents are sweet for warmer days and the cargo pocket is good sized. These pants have a lower waist than it looks like in the photo and fit like a boot cut pant, but aren't so low in the back that you get snow down your pants. They fit me well in the waist but are a little tight through the hips and thighs but I still have a good range of motion. I'm 5'11" and the long is just long enough, which is a miracle!

The pants, overall, are cute... sturdy and functional... BUT they run VERY large. I am 5'6", 125, size 4-6. I ordered a medium but they were falling off of me. Thank god I ordered a back-up. Check out the Spyder Circuit. I'm keeping those - great fit (size 6) and SO warm!

This ski pant is perfect for me. Medium Weight, not bulky, VERY warm. Love the velcro waist tabs. Plenty of Pockets. I was on a lift, high winds, heavy heavy snow conditions, extremely cold (my guage said zero w/o windchill factor) and my legs were quite toasty.They run big. definately go for the smaller size. I originally ordered XL, returned for L. I could have afforded a medium for a "snug" fit, but I prefer a loose fit since I snowboard.

I purchased these pants a couple of months ago and the fit was great! I wasn't expecting such a great fit, but they definitely don't make you luck bulky and held up great in 3 feet of powder! I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a less baggy/bulky ski pant!

These pants fit so well and did not feel at all bulky like some ski/snowboard pants can. I had to still wear my thermals underneath these but that was more than adequate in 29c weather and did not feel the cold at all on my legs all day. They kept me dry and warm plus they look good, what more could you ask for!

These snow/ski pants are GREAT/AWESOME! I am short & thick, so it was a mission to find the right pants that fit perfectly. These sit low @ the waist & the style is bootcut/wideleg. I totally love them. They fit great on the waist & in length. I had to order Petite & they fit perfectly. Very worth it. Thanks Viviana

Love this item.... was really happy I could purchase them in long length, being 5'11" diffucult to find.
Went skiing all last week and wore them everyday, great fit, and not too warm and were warm enough.... great buy! Linda

Great function and style. It's not easy to find both when you're six feet tall with a 33 inch inseam. I took these pants with me to Zurich when I was skiing in the Alps. They worked well getting to the slopes, on the slopes and after the slopes. Warm, comfortable, dry and a perfect fit for my hard to fit body. the length was exactly what I was looking for. Throw on a pair of leggins underneath and you can play all day. I luv North Face.

I've used these pants in windy and icy new england and out west in the deep pow. They performed great, held up well, and stayed dry. The North Face really got it right with the insulation. I only wore a thin wool layer and was never cold (and never too warm). You will have room to move but they are not baggy. Biggest selling point for me was they come in a short length so I didn't have to try and find somewhere to hem them.

Super comfy, very warm, good cut, not bulky or stiff, rise is lower than most womens pants. I like them a lot.

They do fit big - but the velcro waist tabs snug things up enough for me - I like a loose fit. They are very long - I have trouble finding pants that are long enough for me, and these have a few inches to spare with ski boots on. I'm 5'8, 165 XL. Could go to a L.

these are the best fitting pants I have ever owned. they are also one of the warmest ones I have and have quickly become my favorites.

Yes, a little pricey but very well made and more comfortable than most snow pants. It's hard to find them in petite lengths so I was disappointed that they were still too long. However, they can be easily shortened. Love the big pocket.

I found them to be a little expensive, but the style is great. They're comfortable and warm. I love them.

And the cargo pocket on the the right thigh is perfect for carrying large items...no need to carry a purse with these pants!

The only problem I had with these pants was that they run a little big for the size...I had to return my small for an xtra-small.
