low rise
No, I do not recommend this product
Nice fabric and general design, but the rise is uncomfortably low, so that you have to push the pants down to your hips to not feel like you are getting a wedgy. Really not a good choice for a ski pant, if you want to keep the snow out.

Super light pants that feel
Super light pants that feel awesome. Fit is great - like regular pants, not the bulky or limiting feel of other snow pants. Can't wait to get on the mountain with them!

BD Recon Stretch
I bought these for a recent ski trip, they did not disapoint. Lightweight and breatheable, they had just enough stretch and were comfortable all day long.

Very comfortable
Very comfortable and good quality. A bit baggy for my like, so will most likely just be using these for resort and not backcountry

Well made, like all BD gear
Durable, breathable, and comfortable. I haven’t taken them into powder yet and have only used them on groomed snow.

Solid ski pant
Great material, great fit, could use another smaller front pocket in addition to the large front pockets
