“Fantastic pants, got them in black and on sale in Canada for $120 cdn. Couldn't pass up this deal, will be my primary pant for years to come. Can't say enough about the quality of the material and the pants in general. BTW mine are NOT insulated but they are the Range model” --strangedays
“These are absolutely bombproof soft-shell ski pants that actually come in big and tall sizes. "XL/Tall" fits me just about perfectly; I'm 6'6", 265 lbs, and usually wear 40"x34" or 42"x34" pants. "XXL/Tall" is falling off me, so should fit EXTREMELY big and tall people. These are NOT insulated, but are very waterproof and fairly windproof. The softshell material is EXTREMELY breathable. ...” --Matthias99
“ I recently bought the Powder Bowl Pants in black, this year 2011 they add goretex performance shell, the pants have a thin layer of insulation and will be enough for most days, but also has enough room for layer on really cold days. I`m 5'5" 32 waist 30 inseam and the small/regular works great. I like the 32" inseam because they will cover most of the ski boots. The side...” --mfa81
“I bought a Spyder jacket a couple of years ago and really loved it so I decided to purchase a pair of ski pants and went with the Spyder brand. I searched the Spyder website and found the Dare insulated pants. They were in my price range, were stylish (I bought the steel/steel/steel color) and after wearing them for the first time at Squaw Valley through rain, sleet and 18" of new powder, found...” --deanenell
“ When Patagonia creates a halo product, they stop at nothing to make it one of the best pieces on the market. The PowSlayer bibs with it's lightweight breathable 3 Layer Gore-Tex Pro fabric makes it one of the most weather and environment proof pant available today. At a ultra light 20 oz weight, the Pow Slayer is about the the best pound (err just over) per pound piece of gear to help you...” --Philpug
“ Well, it’s been about a solid half season so far with our new FLYLOW GEAR, and the field data from the DSJ Gear Testing Laboratories has been compiled and tabulated. Let’s talk about the Chemical Pants. Evidently this is the product that put the company on the map and we now understand why. These are just superbly designed pants that are built like a...” --Fritzski
“ Review: I have been a fan of DNA products for some time now starting with my "Moe" jacket from two seasons ago that still looks good. What attracted me to the Macro pant is I wanted something bold to go with the Giga jacket. The Macro pant is clean and simple in design with a 7/8 fully sealed size zip making it easy to get in and along with the dual velcro belt system,...” --Philpug
“ I bought these on the Clymb for $130, so they were a great deal for some pretty tech pants that come in cool colors. It's the end of my season, so I haven't got to really try them out but I figured I'd give my first impressions. My old pants have always been mesh lined (uninsulated) mid-price range burtons. With a thin base layer my legs have never been cold, and I often...” --Bill Jamison
“ These bibs are the bomb,padded knees take away the cold and the pain when you are working on your knees. These are definitely a colder day item ,you will stay warm in them and they look pretty good for a bib. There are so many pockets you might lose your keys,your wallet,your chapstick but don't worry you'll find them all safe and secure. I'm giving these 4-1/2 overall stars,if you...” --wikked1
“ Excellent insulated ski pant. DryQ Core is reasonably breathable (perfect for the East Coast), these things are warm and light, lots of pockets, sport a relaxed but not baggy fit, and are very durable. The waterproofness is excellent! While they may not have the absolutely top notch features and utterly bomb-proof construction, they don't cost anywhere near as much! I...” --Gunnerbob
