I really wanted these pants to fit, but they did't. They are cut way too low from crotch to waist. I wear a Large Arcteryx pant in everything I own - casual, shorts, bibs, - these are cut too low for ski wear, where you want protection from snow and precipitation. They would have been a great combo with the awesome Fissile jacket. I also needed something that would fit over my kneee brace, and this didn't work. I needed up with the Rush bibs, as a replacement for my 14 year old Theta bibs.
Pantalons confortables, bien coupés, excellente qualité. La ceinture pourrait être plus fonctionnelle et de meilleure qualité.
