Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These were my first pair of ski/snow pants. I bought them for a trip to Germany, where there was constant snow. See below for a general overview of pros and cons. Pros: - Waterproof: truly waterproof. I tried them out in rain and snow (up to knee-deep) and there was no water damage or leakage of water inside the pants. - Breathable: never sweat in these despite hiking for hours. - Warm: these pants are very well insulated. I did not have to wear thermals under these and my legs were always warm, even in single-digit (Fahrenheit) weather. I sat on ice and blocks of snow and my legs never got cold. - Durable and well-made: I put these pants through rough terrain and non-stop snow exposure. They held up excellent and no evidence of wear and tear. - Very comfortable - Fit very well: I am a little under 5'4" with a 28 waist. Although these pants were a bit wide at the waist, there are elastic velcro bands on the sides that you can tighten to shrink the waist. Despite this, the pants were still a bit wide at the waist but I can't blame the company for that being that I have a 28 waist and there "Small" size fits more like a 30. Cons: - The only issue I had with these was the length. They are a bit long on me, to the point that the bottom backs of the pants scrap the ground even when I'm wearing snow boots. Again I'm a little shy of 5'4" and usually wear a 30-inch short inseam for my regular jeans and dress pants but these seem to be more of a 30-inch long inseam. But these are the shortest snow/ski pants I could find for this price so I'll take it. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. They definitely did the trick in Germany, where there was constant snow. I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking for reliable, durable, warm, waterproof pants for cold weather.
