I am beyond stoked on these! They’re very well made and comfortable. The extra padding on the bum and front/thighs is perfect. I can wear them on bluebird/warm days or blizzard/cold days and be comfortable. The level of water proofing is adequate, unless I’m just sitting still they don’t soak through. Zippers and seams are top notch and weather proof. They are also flattering which isn’t necessarily high in the totem pole but who doesn’t like looking fly on the slopes?! I 100% recommend them and hope this very same style stays in production because I don’t ever want another snowboard pant.
Haven't had a chance to take these out yet, but they feel well insulated and like they'll keep me warm. That said, they are on the thicker side so if you're looking for something that's going to easily move with you and not add extra weight in park/etc, these may not be for you. The pockets could've definitely been made bigger. I'm 5'3 and about 115lbs, and the XS leaves me room to have layers underneath without having to tighten the velcro.
runs large, took them back before I wore them in the snow, As far as quality of pockets, seams, inside of pants. These look like they would be really nice. They are definiately on the baggy side which I have athletic thighs and a butt so I think if I sized down these would work. Still thinking about it
Love these pants and color!! My old ones are also 686 Brand which I bought around 15 years ago and still in pretty good condition and that's why I bought them again, because they are such good quality. Pants are a little baggy but that's makes them more comfortable and ease of movement.
Amazing riding pants. Great pockets and lots of them. Great fit, really like the insulation as I’m often cold…these are toasty! Haven’t had them long but the quality seems top notch, nice zipper pulls and pocket placement. Looking forward to using these for years to come!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of pockets with high quality zippers. They will not leak. The right amount of insulation where you want it. The waistband is also very comfortable. Can’t ask for a better pair of pants.
I received used pants, they are dirty in several places. Can't say about the quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pants too big though should have sized down! Warm, awesome material.
Great pants, my second pair. No complaints anywhere
