If you know ski gear, Arc’teryx is the best of the best. Originally $550 at a shop in Bozeman, MT several years ago. Goretex, full side zipper vents on outside thighs, belt loops, built in cinch belt and elastic at ankles (keeps the snow out!). Reinforced material at ankle to preventent rips on boot buckles. Non insulated pant which is great for your choice of base layer. These were one of my favorite pairs of pants as they kept me warmm, dry and looking good on the mountain. Some dirt from spring skiing and storage, along with a couple small holes around bottom of pants. Plenty of life left. *If you want to wear the best ski brand around at a fraction of the price, these pants for you! I’m 5’8” 135 and these fit me and have had a friend a little shorter and 145 fit just fine.
