So I have bought 6 pairs of pants the last 3 years after ALL the cheapskate zippers on my Fate pants broke off. I ski 30+ days a year in early season/dead of winter/spring skiing backcountry/in-bounds/snow cat skiing so I demand rugged, versatile, and intelligently designed pants. Finally, I found the pants. Highlights include: A) roomy articulated fit, because who skis standing straight up with knee's locked? (texans) B)Suspenders! Suspenders are the bomb. Keep snow out of your ass on those wipeouts. C) Hardcore tough lining on the inside bottom of the pant leg (where your boots may rub together or where you may catch a ski edge. FINALLY, a pant with durable lower legs...most pants just reinforce the cuff and that is useless. This reinforces the whole area...nice. D) Waterproofness has been solid. These pants are sweet. It took me $900 to find them but it was well worth it. Hope you can use my advice and not have to suffer through pairs and pairs of inferior pants.

Killer jacket. Took it to Winter Park today, endured a large windstorm and heavy 30 min rainstorm beautifully. I wanted a jacket that wasn't a raincoat, wasn't a "technical shell" jacket, wasn't a fleece...you know, something that would knock it out in the wind and rain. This jacket did the trick. Perfect. Fits awesome, I'm usually a large and the large fit right on the money. Great softshell, looks great too.
