Ok, but not great. Really pricey.
a year ago
Good pant, like the pockets and the inner foot guard, they should hold up well overtime. I'm not a big fan of the cuff and if you are just wearing the shell pants you'll definitely get snow up through the cuff into the boots, the pull tab doesn't work well for me and having the draw string flop about on each boot is a bit strange. The belt tightener/pull tabs on inner waist are not very good, no way to hold tight unless you tie them and that's fairly uncomfortable on big days. No belt loops anymore which I would've loved to see again from previous pants.
Overall ok, but not great and really expensive now

Knee protect amazing. Snow guard not good.
a year ago
Hallo.
Habe die Hose gekauft wegen den Knie Schoner die sind echt genial.
Was ich schlecht finde ist der Schneefang mit dem Band vorne zum zuziehen, Gummi finde ich besser.
Amazing knee protect. Snow guard not good, elastic band would be better.
Thanks
Danke

Great work pants
a year ago
I'm spend a lot of times in hard shells and these are terrific work pants. I've only had them in use for a week or so but love em - tough and light. And the knee pads are a game changer. They do seem to run a tad large - at 6'2 and 185 I've never had to wear a medium much of anything before but the large were too big. I wish they had belt loops and came with suspenders......I should note that they do have suspender loops but just don't come with.
Q: Size Purchased:
A: Medium
Q: Pros:
A: Beefy. Knee pads. Lightweight.
Q: Cons:
A: No belt loops. Rise to short.

These far superior to other patrol pants I have owned. The pockets work well as well as the draw string on the gaters. Long rainy day last Sunday on the mountain with no issues.

Amazing Guide pants
2 years ago
I was in the search for a bib, which it was sold out at the time, so I ended up buying this pants. The reviews weren't great so I was hesitant about it.
I have to say that I wasn't super impressed when unwrapping it but as soon as I wear them on the hill I loved them.
They are rugged and sturdy, which is exactly how a working pant should be, they don't feel like tearing apart.
Despite of being thick they are extremely comfortable, body shaped and light, allowing freedom of movement.
As a snowboarder and ski patroller I really appreciate the low-profile removable knee pads, they are a game changer on a full working day.
After a day of pouring rain, I can testify they are 100% waterproof.
No belt loops, which in my opinion is perfect as I don't need a belt, the adjuster are good enough to keep them in place. It has tensor loops in case you like to turn it into a semi-bib.
Just two pockets, two additional ones would have been really useful but to their defence the more pockets the more you feel like carrying thing that could goon your backpack or vest.
I read complaints about the snow cuffs but so far they have been performing perfectly, they stay in place all day long, considering that as a snowboarder I spend more time with my feet in the snow than a skier.
By far one of the greatest pants I've ever had. If you are looking for resort-oriented pants this might not be the best but if you are in the search for a working or backcountry pants this are the ones
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight, sturdy, body-shaped
Q: Cons:
A: Little pricey
Q: Activity
A: Ski patrol, Snowboarding

Thanks for your feedback. I've tried these on and considering getting a pair as I'm also a snowboard ski patrol. Two questions if you have some time:
1. I found the draw cord on the gator odd as its on the outside and I am unsure if there is a special way to tuck it as I could see this catching on bindings etc. when doing up and undoing bindings. How do you get it out of the way?
2. What do you wear underneath? I could see these being pretty chilly if just wearing a base layer.
Anything else you really like about these you can comment on.
Thanks!

Couple things I dis like
2 years ago
I’ve used this pant ski patrolling at whistler and also ski guiding . I like the knee pads and the vents moved back . The cargo pocket could be a bit bigger to fit a right in the rain a little nicer . The two things I dis like is 1st that boot gaiter is terrible . It slides up as soon as you step in deep snow . The gaiter on the saber is better . Also I like a pant that I can put a proper belt on it and they took the belt loops off of this version .
Q: Pros:
A: Material
Q: Cons:
A: Bad gaiter and no belt loops
Q: Activity
A: Ski patrol and guide
No, I do not recommend this product.

No transceiver loop
3 years ago
Major design fail. The left leg transceiver pocket has a transceiver retaining sewn loop for attaching the transceiver lanyard, but no inner elastic loop so it can be held screen side in. Without the elastic loop, this pocket cannot be safely used for storing a transceiver. The previous gen pant had it. It's an incredible step backwards to remove it. I cannot work in these pants. I will be returning them.
Q: Pros:
A: Removable recco
Q: Cons:
A: Transceiver pocket design
Q: Activity
A: Ski patrol
No, I do not recommend this product.

Transceivers really shouldn't go in pants pockets.

Could you describe what is different with the pockets? From the photos it doesn't appear that they have changed from the last generation
