I’m a 6’ 175lb advanced Mt. Hood PNW resort skier with a 33” waist and I love these pants. I purchase a SMALL REGULAR (using their guide, normally I would wear a medium pant) and am able to fit a long John base layer and fleece pant under it.
I’ve only been up 5 times with them so I can’t comment on long term durability. First thing I noticed out of box was the high quality durable Primo fabric feel. They fit perfect with a belt and they cover my base layers.
When off mountain wearing a shoe, a single fold in the leg keeps them from dragging on the ground, when on ski they cover the top of boot and rest on the curves with no wind or snow exposure and easy access to my buckles. The reinforcement fabric between boots is a nice touch for extra durability .
First day up they were put to the test with wet thaw at lift line and re-freeze snowing conditions at the top. Repeated all day they they kept me bone dry and the amazing vent zips on inside and outside of leg dumped extra heat and maintained a comfortable temp. I love the 2-way zips on the outside leg, single ones on inside, and the easy grab pull tabs. The vents have mesh on the inside that keep snow out but dump heat, which means I can keep them open, set and forget.
After a few times up I have appreciated the pockets. Two zip pockets in front I keep my keys and wallet just like I would normally do with pants. They are at the right depth to hold items in the right spot when I sit on a lift or at lunch. The front…
