Store your lab notes or safety kit in one of several thigh pockets.
Bottom Line: Earn your doctorate of snowboard science with the Volcom Men’s Research Pant.
I got these in blurred brown in XXL. First of all the print is tight and looks really good. You can pull one of the four colors out for a solid jacket match.
These pants are not insane Ronin team fit baggy but are pretty close, which is what I was looking for (I'm about 6' 1" and 200 lbs and they are legit BAGGY on me). Even though they are huge these pants have a nice waist tightening velcro mechanism that keeps them barely on my ass but not falling off for that gangster fit and comfort.
Additionally, these pants feature Volcom's zip-fit system, which lets you zip the bottom back half of a Volcom jacket powder skirt to the rear top of the pants, basically sealing your butt off from snow. Which is awesome. The benefits of a one piece in two modular pieces!
The fabric itself has a nice feel too it, a bit more cloth-like than traditional gore-tex or imitation gore-tex, but still has 10K waterproofing. Also lots of vents and pockets add to the function of these pants.
Overall I am extremley pleased with these pants and hope you will be too!
The Volcom Research pant has all the features you'd expect from a high-end product: a ton of stash pockets, solid material, great fit and high style. They have this leather strip at the heel to protect from shredding - a feature that will ensure years of use. I'm 6'0" 180lbs and the Medium fit perfectly. Match it up to the Volcom Divinity jacket for a sweet suit sure to attract the snow bunnies this season.
