Arc'teryx  Sabre Pants - Men's

I had these pants prior to this exact pair and the seem came undone and Arc Teryx replaced them with no question, they were amazing, easy to deal with and quick responses. The new pair of the exact same size is a completely different cut, more of a fashion cut than a performance cut. I have lived in Vail CO my entire life and ski all the time, and this is the worst fit pant I have ever had. I telemark as often as I alpine and the cut makes them difficult to make turns. I am very disappointed that the pant changed over the years. I believe Arc Teryx is a great company but the Sabre pant is not what it used to be

I've no doubt that these will handle anything i'm throwing at them but the sizing is wild. I anticipated this and ordered M and L in both the regular Sabre and M and L in the relaxed version. I'm 185cm - 82kg - 33inch waist and 32" inseam, skinny legs not much of a butt The Med standard Sabre fit like a glove thankfully. The Medium Relaxed fit was too tight on the waist by far (crazy) The Larges were out of the question in both styles. The relaxed fit is pretty baggy in the leg, not my thing but crazy that the waist was tighter on that style. If you want this pant then I'd order a bunch and send the ones you don't want back as the return process was simple and they shipped express to me so quick turnover.

I've used these pants for more than 50 days over two winters, in every condition. They are highly weatherproof, move well when ski touring and have been durable. In aggressive storms with high wind and snowfall they are very good, highly waterproof and windproof. The vents are are good, the pants find a good balance of waterproof and breathability. I have other pants I would use in spring for ski touring in very hot weather. The lining material on the inside is nice. The features with the built in belt are good, and thigh pockets are the right size for a phone or small notebook. If there is anything to add, it would be nice to have at least one small pocket in the normal place for keys or chapstick. They're expensive, but you get what you pay for with arcteryx.

The pants are great with many of the key features I was looking for. So far I've only taken them to the resort. Layers underneath were key for that -10 day. I'll be taking them out ski touring this weekend but judging by the fit, I think they'll move well. My only complaint is the new sizing scheme - totally out to lunch! According to the sizing chart, I should be medium but couldn't even get into them. The large fits perfect, even thought my waist isn't 37. Something really needs to be done about sizing of products.

I've had this pant in a small for a few years, now. Generous fit in the waist, which is nice. Really hold up well. Decided to pick up a pair in the outlet section. Looked inside my Sabre pant and they are small. Tried them on and they fit nicely. Bought a small in the Sabre relaxed fit. They arrived and are quite tight in the waist. If you can't rely on the sizing across similar items, it becomes a crap shoot. Outlet items aren't returnable. Boo, Arcteryx. Streamline your sizing!!!

I wear a 34 waist pants in almost all brands. According to Arc'teryx, I should be a medium. But I couldn't even fasten the pants or the buckle at the loosest. The thighs are ok, and the lowers are quite baggy even for wearing ski boots. Had to return them. I've been wearing Arc'teryx pants for years and none have fit like this. Otherwise, the pants are just what I want, but REI says they're being discontinued and I can't get a large in black. Guess I'll have to buy some other brand.

Comfortable. Baggy just enough to allow me to move freely. The belt buckle is much better than the one in a "C" shape that you have on other pants. That one stays close. The cel phone inside pocket is a nice touch. The belt is not sewed in so its buckle slides inside the grove and it is difficult to retrieve. Be careful that's all. I do recommend this product

I am an arcteryx guy and love their stuff. After rocking my cant-remember what-model pants for 10 years it's time for a new one. This Sabre looks exactly like it. I am quite fit and athletic build. Got L first a little too tight on the crotch area waist was fine, got XL it's like a tent on me, I don't know what to do 🤷‍♂️

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) At first I thought I would be cold with these pants because it is a shell. When I go skiing I wore these and a rho heavyweight pant and I have never been cold even in -25+ celcius temperatures… these have great durability and keep you very warm! If you are hesitant to buy them go for it, I love them!

I use the pants as a ski instructor and like the comfort, fit, and durability. The location and design of the pockets make them extremely versatile for all activities. The gortex material also allow layering versatility. .
