Arc'teryx  Incendia Pants - Women's

Freedom of movement is a huge priority for me when skiing and previously I had avoided most women's ski pants because they felt too restrictive and hard to move in, and hard to adjust the waist tightness. I've been a bib pants girl for the past decade to solve these problems, but bibs do get warm especially when hiking to ski or touring. I tried out the Incendia pants this past winter and now they are all I want to wear! The fit of these is excellent: loose and allowing freedom of movement, but still feminine and easy to adjust the waist tightness with the integrated belt. I am 5'5" and 130lbs and typically a size 27/4 in Arc'teryx pants and size up to a size 6 in the Incendia for a more loose freeride style. The Gore-Tex Canvas material is very protective from wet snow conditions (I live in the Pacific Northwest) and also highly durable and stays clean and free of abrasion or tears even when skiing hard (haven't been able to rip these yet on ski edges, trees, rocks, ski boots, etc which is a first). The ankles have a synch pull which is awesome for keeping your pants out of your bindings when stepping in. Side ventilation zips are great for dumping heat when hiking, and thigh pockets are spacious and have integrated transceiver/media sleeve and toggle with a pocket cover to keep things inside even if you forget to zip the pocket closed. I can't say enough good things about these pants and how bomb-proof they are and how great they look on all body types. Honestly the perfect ski pant.

Great fit and strong fabric. I had an old pair (10 years plus) of snowboard pants from Arcteryx that delaminated and finally died (😢) so I had to get a new pair. I wanted pants that would last as long as my last pair, so I went with Incendia since it said it's the most durable out of all the snow pants. I'm not sure how good the durability will be with the new Gore-Tex ePE fabric, but there is an arcteryx store within biking distance so I will take my pair in for a wash every 5 hard wears up the slopes. As for the fit... they are nice and I like that these have a ton of leg room so I can move around freely. And, honestly if they fit me well-enough, I don't really care how good they look lol I'm mostly interested in the durability of these pants. I snowboard fairly aggressively off piste where there are tons of rocks, trees, and icy snow I tend to scrape against and biff on... So hopefully the textured fabric and the touted durability of these pants will hold up against my abuse!!!

Love these pants the fit is perfect. The colour is excellent. The flaps over the pockets are a bit of pain as the flap is stiff and with cold hands it is hard to move out of the way to fully open the pocket. I've been getting constrant compliments on them :).

I really liked the fit and style of the Incendia pant. I struggled a bit with the front thigh zippers - the flap made it hard to access even without gloves on. I wish there were side pockets because I kept trying to put my hands there first. There is not much stretch to these pants FYI so depending on body type (I am athletic and petite) they could be tight in the seat for a snowboarder when bending down or seated on the snow getting bindings ready. The relaxed Sentinal may be better for this as a larger size would then be too big at the waist. The cost seems really high to me for what they are (a shell). I'll likely consider another pair, or the Sentinal in the future when they go on sale. For this price, they have to be PERFECT for me to keep them.

The fit is super cute and super flattering. No stretch but I think that rigidity makes them extra cute. The material does attract lint and dog fur unfortunately! But I love the pants!

Really like the design of these, but would love to see them in the colourway boxcar!
