Comfortable, dry fit

Really enjoyed the fit of these pants which included velcro straps to tighten or loosen the waist. This helped with making sure the pants did not gap in the back. I remained dry and the cuffs were tight around my ski boots. I'm glad I paid more for the GORE-TEX pants.

Great ski pants for cold or wet climates

I ski in Montana where the temps are often well below zero. These perform well in super low temps. GORE-TEX means they also work great in the rainy Northwest. A great combo for use in both areas.

Yes

These pants have been a great addition to my outdoor gear! They are great for skiing - warm, wind proof and water proof when sitting in snow for lunch! Fit to size and all the pockets and zipper vents are well located! Fabric just outside of the ankle support fabric is a bit weaker and has worn a bit as it still seems to rub when walking. Quick seam tape fixed it!

These pants rock

Good Lawd these pants are toasty! Wore them today in 6* conditions and they're noticeably warmer than other insulated pants I've previously owned. Love them!

Great except for sizing

I bought these for skiing in the colder temperatures when my other ski pants are not enough to keep me warm. So far, I absolutely love these and they keep me toasty warm on the chair lift (even in -0F and wind), but they also have enough venting options I can comfortably wear them while skinning in the backcountry without overheating. They are definitely my go to when the temperature falls. My only complaint is the sizing. I have numerous pairs of OR pants and snow pants (Cirque II, Blackpowder II, Hemisphere Bibs, etc) that are all size XS and fit perfectly even with base layers on under them. So, when I ordered these, I ordered size XS. However, when they arrived, I could barely get them on, even without wearing base layers. They were so incredibly tight through the thighs that once I got them on, I could barely move in them. The waist and hips fit great, but the fit of the legs was so restricting and uncomfortable I decided to return them for a size S. The size S fit great through the legs, but are too big in the waist (even with the waist adjustments tightened all the way). I would recommend sizing up one size and making sure you have a good, comfortable belt to experience how great these pants are otherwise.

Light but burley.

I purchased these pants for resort skiing in the Canadian Rockies. I love the high quality material and construction. Pockets and vents make these pants versatile. They are light weight, so I don't feel weighed down on the hill. Although they are promoted as fairly warm for cold days on the ski lift, I find they are not warm enough for the Rockies. Anything below -12 and I've been quite cold in them even with a wool base layer. However, they are perfect for Whistler or skiing in warmer climates. They run small, I'm 5'6, 137 pounds and found the medium a bit tight. You could probably ski tour in these or go for some hikes in the back bowls as they ventilate nicely.

Way too small for sizing based off of size chart.

I relied on the size chart to choose the size of pants to order. I have a very hourglass shape with athletic legs. My waist measurement is 1.5 inches less than the size recommends. My hips are about an inch larger than the size chart size (the next size up is about 4 inches too big). I could barely button up the pants. There is no way I could comfortably bend and ski hard, which is the whole point of buying these! Please be more descriptive in how your clothing fits, because I chose the size based off of my body measurements compared to the size chart and previous Outdoor Research pants.

Comfortable and great quality!

5'8" and 150 lbs, medium fits great. Very happy with the amount of insulation, was worried they would be too warm. The red color is very nice with a black jacket!
