An athlete favorite, the Outdoor Research Blackpowder II Pant features durable weather protection that's ready for winters spent threading trees and crushing couloirs. It features the breathable, waterproof protection of Pertex Shield, keeping you dry in the pow but comfortable on the bootback, while fully sealed seams lock out every last drop of moisture. The durable face fabric is ready for rough-and-rowdy days on the mountain, while the tricot and taffeta lining offer next-to-skin comfort. Slimmed down and streamlined from previous iterations to reduce excess bulk, articulated knees and a standard fit still leave you free to get after the fresh snow with plenty of vigor.

Very long
I would only be able to use these if I cuff them twice with 2.5" folds each time. I am 5'4', not so petite that this much extra length is normal. I'm sure they'll lose some heat worn this way, so I had to return them. It's too bad, because I loved the fit through the waist, hips, and thighs.

Great ski pants!
These pants are great and have kept me warm and dry even in wet snow conditions and freezing rain/snow conditions. The insulation layer is light but surprisingly warm and the pants are roomy enough for a additional base layer underneath. The waistband is adjustable for custom fitting and the back of the waistband is higher than the front to protect your backside from snow if/when you fall. The pockets are a nice feature and there are side vents in which to release heat. Most important to me is the fact that I have been able to stay dry - Well done OR! Sizing is true to size: I am 5'6", 115 lbs and wear XS.

Good Pants
Love these pants for skiing. I like that they are not insulated and I can control the warmth by layering. However I have 2 complaints. I had to size up so they would fit in the butt. The pants allow very little room if you have projection in the tush. They are crazy long! The inseam is 32.5", which is longer than my husband's brand new ski pants. I can't wear them for anything but skiing because they will drag the ground and be ruined. O.R. if you are only going to have 1 length of pants please make the seems like kids so you can let them out if you need the length.

Warm, comfortable and robust.
I use these pants for work on ski patrol. They are really robust which I didn't expect from such soft material but no holes yet! The sizing is a little larger than normal but I allow for extra pants underneath for those -30°c days. I'm 5'9 and 145lbs and I bought the mediums.

Perfect Snow Pants
I am 5'7, 125lbs and bought a size small. These ski pants fit me slightly too tight (for a ski pant), and I would have preferred them to be an inch longer, but they otherwise fit great. I wouldn't have wanted to size up as I think a medium would have been a bit too roomy. I bought these pants for snowmobiling as I already have a pair of the women's Hemispheres Bibs for touring and the resort. I was looking for a tougher fabric with a little bit more insulation than my Hemispheres Bibs and that is exactly what I got. I have worn these a few times now and I am very happy with them. Perfect amount of insulation, perfect durability (not too flimsy, but also not too stiff), and almost perfect size (but still great).

Great pants for a great price!
I bought these for all purpose winter sports pants as one who does not live in an area that has easy access to winter outdoor activities. I used these for downhill skiing, cross country skiing, and winter hiking. Prior to buying them, I wasn't quite sure about these pants though due to the reviews about poor fit, and I always have problems with buying pants online, due to having a small waist but larger butt; however, the discounted price for the XS Saddle was too good to pass up. After trying some other OR snow pants at a local sports store, I went ahead and ordered them online and crossed my fingers. They ended up fitting pretty well, and are rather adjustable around the waist, except maybe 1 inch longer than I would like, but is ok with ski boots (less ideal for hiking, but still ok). With a base layer underneath, it is slightly tighter around my thighs than I would like, but nothing uncomfortable that would restrict movement at all when I was cross country skiing or hiking uphill. The pants were warm, but breathable for more strenuous activities, and are holding up pretty well! For reference, I am 5' 3" and 115 lbs; depending on the brand, I wear 25-27in in jeans, XS wide legged pants and S in skinny pants.

Sturdy construction but sizing difficult
Sturdy construction. Well-located pockets. Sizing was a little difficult. Smalls were too big for me, and these were a tad too small, but okay when worn with very thin under layer.
