Burton Women's Medium Society Snowboarding and ski pant

Women's Medium Burton Society ski pant in creme. Tested on Gear Lab Comfort & Fit Surprisingly, we found this contender to be one of the most comfortable pants we tested. It offers excellent freedom of movement and seems to glide out of our way when we need the space to bust a move. It has slightly longer legs than many ski pants, which is a nice bonus for taller gals. However, even with shorties, the inseam length didn't seem to affect its function. The Society is touted as low-rise but it also didn't allow any snow into our pants during falls in powder. The waist sizing does appear to be somewhat large, with multiple testers feeling grateful for the velcro waist tabs. We found testers fell in-between sizes with this pair of ski pants, needing a smaller waist size but a larger thigh/bum size. We went with the size that fit our thighs and used the waist tabs and belts to make up the waist difference. We didn't mind since we are always looking for ways to wear our favorite belt buckles. Weather Resistance During our time testing this contender, we were perfectly satisfied with the waterproofness of the garment. It keeps you protected from the elements with a 2-layer Dryride shell. It kept wind gusts out (as long as remembered to close the thigh vents) and repelled melting snow. The Dryride will work to keep you dry as long as you vent appropriately and wear the right base layers. Warmth The Society is advertised as lightly insulated.
