The Spyder Men's Davos Pants combine extremely weather-resistant fabric and removable high-back suspenders to make a functional, bombproof ski pant. On socked-in days, count on the Spyder Davos Pants' 20K-rated waterproof fabric, critically taped seams, and waterproof zippers to keep you dry as a bone. Light insulation in the Davos ski pants warms your legs on the chairlift, and thigh vents dump heat as you charge down chutes and mogul fields. When you're floating through powder, the Davos Pants' cuff anchors and inner snow cuffs hold everything down and keep snow from getting up your pant legs. The molecules in the built-in d3o knee pads flow freely but instinctively lock up and absorb shock upon impact.
Bottom Line: The Spyder Men's Davos Pants keep you suspended between steep bliss and powder euphoria on the mountain.
I have two pairs of these, one in the older style nylon twill fabric from a couple seasons ago when the Davos first replaced the Vail pant and one in the newer stretch Primeflex fabric. They are the benchmark for all other ski pants I've used/tried (Kjus, Arc'teryx, TNF, Oakley, 66 North) . Not only is the fit great for me (6'2" 185-I usually wear a large or preferably a large tall but got these in XL) the new style has an even better fit that is less baggy and thus gives you more freedom of movement. They also redesigned the thigh vents to slash more across the front of your legs rather than just down the sides, allowing a lot of air to rush in, especially if you're moving or its windy. I wear these in just about any weather from single digits to 40s with the vents open with just CW-X's underneath. The rest of the features are just top-of-the-line Spyder: Very well-made with extra stitching and extra panels all over, waterproof zips with garages, waist adjusters, nice pulls and big buttons that you can use with gloves, etc. Every year they show that they really listen to users of their products because they come up with little design improvements that really work.
My brother got these a few weeks ago, and took them heli to BC. He loves them. Cannot stop talking about how they were bone dry even after hitting chest-deep pow. Really strong and durable, highly recommended by him for serious powder-hounds.
Davos pant are the best snow pants on earth.! A great fit, functionality is very good, just the right amount of pockets in the right places. And with the high-back suspenders, you won't ever have soggy-ass again. Very comfortable.
