Most Helpful Positive Review Very nice pant..........
Great pant for both skiing and snowboarding with plenty of room at the hem. Very comfortable pant although I wish it weren't cut quite so full through the seat and legs (relaxed fit vs. regular fit). But other than that, I have no complaints. Pant seems to be well made, nice/comfortable fabric (not ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Campsaver should have better photos & descriptions on sizing
These pants arrived and were Major baggy. Yea, I'm middle aged, and not looking for the snowboard look with my hat on sideways. No photos of someone wearing them or verbiage helped to describe the fit. The pants did feel like quality....although not supertight weave on the outer layer....so not sure...

Heavy Duty, Emphasis on HEAVY

by BC Tele, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on February 14, 2018
Before I bought these I read lots of reviews on them and nearly all said they were great pants. I was looking for some waterproof breathable hard shell pants with at least 4 zip pockets, and with no insulation, and adequate venting for those long skin-ups and for warm days. These seemed to have it all, but when I got them was surprised by how hefty they felt. Campsaver's specs for these lists the weight as 23.5 ounces, which seemed reasonable, but when I weighed them was not surprised to learn they weigh in at 39.5 ounces! Having my pants weigh 2.5 pounds cancels out any reductions in ski gear weights I have been trying to get. I have yet to use these as we have no snow so far here, so hard to say how they actually work, yet I expect they will weigh me down noticeably. It would be good if Campsaver could post the correct weight for these in the Specs section. Had this been the case I would not have bought them.
Pros:
  • thigh vents, 4 zip pockets, suspenders, not insulated.
Cons:
  • Way too heavy for back country skiing
Best Used for:
  • Lining my ski pants drawer, evidently.

Well made and comfortable. Built for small waist, but loose enough to fit over another layer (pants or fleece). So best for cool or cold weather use.
