The Burton Men's Apres Pant will keep you warm and dry as you impress the ladies with your freeride skills. These pant's 10K laminate and taped seams keep the snow out as you ride pow through the trees. When your friends catch up, reach into the two bellowed cargo pockets and get the goods for your safety meeting. In the parking lot, lift up the Apres Pant's cuffs with the built in Snap-Up Leg lifts feature to keep from shredding the back of the pants. Back in the condo, rip the waterproof shell off to reveal a built in board short and invite your admirers to chill in the Jacuzzi. *Available for US Shipment Only. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: With the Burton Après Pants you're always ready to ride the pow, or play games in the hot tub.
The only reason I couldn't give these pants a 5 star rating is because I haven't actually worn them yet. I ordered them in October, in anticipation for the upcoming season. Just on look and feel, however, these pants are awesome! If you want to be seen on the slopes, these pants are the ones to get! I am about 5'11, 160 pounds and I ordered a small (I know Burton's stuff runs baggy). The small fits, but is a little snug around the waist. If they would have had a Medium in stock, I would have ordered that. Can't wait to try these out!!
I live in Indiana not exactly the snowboarding capital of the world but we have some really diverse weather. I could wear these in 15° weather with a baselayer underneath and I was warm and cozy. When the weather warmed up and the snow turned to slush they kept me dry. When the weather warmed up to 75° degrees the day the hill closed they kept me dry and cool with the ventilated zippers on the legs. These pants have all the features you could want or need.
