Pretty light weight but you don't lose anything in the way of warmth. best part is how flexible they are for all riding styles. can easily be worn all day and for apres
I agree with the other reviews. I tried on a small in the store and they fit perfectly everywhere but the bum. So, I ordered a medium online. There is a big difference between the small and medium. I’ll keep mine because they fit better than what I currently have (from 12 years ago) and I got a good deal on them. But, if you are looking for the “just right” fit either try them on in the store or (if you can) order two sizes and return one.
It runs small. I suggest to size 1 up. The material is a bit stiff and feels plasticky. Don’t really like the style, the bottom part is a bit flare. However, it keeps me warm at 20 - 30 F condition I wanted to love it but I returned it.
According to the sizing chart, I am firmly a M. However, after receiving these pants, I found they were far too tight in the butt and thighs for any kind of activity. I intended to use them mostly for snowmobile riding but I would not have been able to sit comfortably or even swing my leg over easily in these. I'm hoping a L will fit better in those areas, since they fit fine in the waist and legs. I really like the mesh in the thigh zippered vent and think the ankle elastic will be great for boots in the snow.
Haven't used them much yet but so far seem great. Comfortable and warm but definitely run small. order a size up even if you're not planning on wearing anything under them
I have a pair of freedom pants which I bought 5 years ago. They’re a size small and fit great. I ordered another pair and the small is way too tight. I’m 5’8” 138lbs and am a true 6. I’m sending these back and ordering a medium. Otherwise I love them.
