Arc'teryx Sabre Pant - Men's

I haven't worn them in the elements yet but they look bomb proof! Plus they fit me perfectly. At 6'6" and 230lbs I'm hard pressed to find a pant that fits my picky high standards of quality and cut.

These are amazing pants. I am a big guy,6'3" 290lbs. with really big thighs. The pants have tons of room. I have had 2 different TNF pants in recent years and they don't hold a candle to these as far as fit and warmth. I would recommend these to anyone. Especially anyone that has a bigger build.

finally Arc'teryx is bringing some new school, freeride style to their line. I like a straight shell pant - no need for insulation in Tahoe. I was worried that the fleece lining was going to be too hot but it is super thin and does not over-insulate the pants. Just provides a little fuzzy comfort. Belt is lame but easy to remove and replace with whatever you want. Classic Arc'teryx bomber construction - weatherproof and zippers in the right places. Sweet

This pants rule in backcountry. They're so light, with awesome design and durability. In fact breathability is incredible, even in summer time when you need to reach snow it's very comfortable. Cleaning is also very simple. I am 5'10 and M size fit very good.
Perfect pants!

This pair of pants is the third arcteryx item i have purchased for my adventures in the outdoors. I got the green color which is crazy so if your thinking its a mellow green its almost more of a teal. It has all of the bells and whistles you want in a pair of ski pants besides insulation, recco super breathable super waterproof warm and above all durable. The only complaint is that the hip vents dont havwe a mesh betweenthe outside and under the pants so snow can get through if you use them , i dont use them. I have boarded in these though the horrible winter weve had here and on the coldest day i still only wore boxers under them and i was toasty and i ride a lot of park and through all of the falls and abuse theyve taken it all . Yes they are expensive but they are the best pants ypull ever have and probably the last paur youll ever buy!

Got these to use last season snowboarding and so have had about 2 seasons of use in them so far. These pants are fantastic including the quality and durability. No busted seams or anything, great range of motion (the articulated knees are great), and it's gore-tex so it's still waterproof.

I tend to get cold easily so I tend to layer up in these pants a bit more than most people would, especially in colder days. I don't know if it's just the pants but I've never been overly hot/cold in any condition wearing these which I guess is a testament about how easily you can dial in for your own use. The thigh vents are great too in order to dump any extra heat while going up those lifts.

The carbon color depicted on here is spot on. I'm about 5'6", ~120lbs and got a small. The built in belt let me dial in the waist. Length was a bit long (nothing I could do about that) but was fine once I booted up though they would catch and drag sometimes (thank got for the Keprotec instep patches). Roominess was the perfect amount for me compared to the majority of snowboarding pants out there that are sometimes just too ridiculously big.

Just got back from Utah and skied a variety of temperatures (unfortunately the conditions were constant...ice). They were warmer than my old pair of insulated Spyder pants while night skiing in 7 degree weather and perfectly comfortable during the days when the temp hovered near 40.

These pants replaced my old Arcteryx Scorpions (great pants), which had survived more than 150 days before the lower legs turned to tatters. I will compare the Sabre to its approximate predecessor, the Scorpion. Many of my feelings are already reported in other reviews here, e.g.: belt (lame, but not a problem - I use my own leather belt which works great); cuffs (unlike the Scorpion there is no cinch or closure button, which is a minus); Recco reflector, which both the Sabre and Scorpion have, is a must for me; thin felt liner is excellent (a bit less fuzzy than the Scorpion) and adds a surprising amount of insulation given its thinness. On a frigid 8 degree F, cloudy day I tried out the pants with only very thin long underwear. Though I should have had an extra medium layer, to my surprise I survived pretty well. Both pants breath very well, with a slight nod to the Sabre.

As usual with Arcteyx, the construction seems to be top notch. (Time will tell.) I didn't find these pants too baggy as some others did, in fact I really liked the fit. I'm a 34 inch length and the Sabre's length seemed the right size. The Kevlar patch is much better than the Scorpion, which had nothing! (Even so, the patch seems a bit small to me.) For the Scorpion, I had to use boot gaiters to protect the cuff area. I have never had ski pants that, like the Sabre, have holes in the tops of the gaiters. Will this ever lead to snow going up in the pant legs if I tumble at Mach 2 in 3 feet of snow? (I don't know.) Because I'm unsure how well the gaiter works on the Sabre, I'll be keeping my boot gaiters in my backpack for a while. (And they also help out on super cold days.) My other complaint is the pockets. When skiing they keep my stuff in a very comfortable position. But when riding the chair I found the lower pockets contents tend to slide off to the side so I ended up sitting on them. (The Scorpion had great pockets, but there were only two of them, on the thigh.) My solution is to put most of my stuff in the two upper pockets. It seems to me that the design of the pockets could be improved, but perhaps others don't have this problem.

I'm sure these are well built, but these are way too baggy in my opinion, and that's coming from a snowboarder. I'm probably going to return and get a different style.

That's the debate I wrestled with in my head while trying these on - which do I really want? As soft shell suggests, these are made of a very relaxed and supple fabric. They feel reasonably durable, but by touch alone, I can't imagine they'd stand up to the same abuse as your typical Performance Shell pant. Presumably they breathe considerably better though. The cut has been updated to a modern bagginess though visually they don't appear this way as the fabric hangs rather than crinkles. Personally, I think the seam design and fabric make these pants very visually appealing. Features are four diagonal zip pockets, zippered thigh vents, Recco reflector and a thin felt liner that I wish more shells had. Unfortunately there are a couple minor features that I think fall short of Arcteryx's stellar reputation: the waist has a dinky plastic belt buckle and the gaiter doesn't have a cinch or closure button. The kick patch feels pretty sturdy, but for whatever reason, there were some color fading spots on the kick patch even though the pant was brand new.

orgasim lookSSS!!!

Wore these for first time last weekend at Squaw in rain for two days. Completely dry underneath. And they look great. Love the pockets. They could ditch the built in belt but not a big deal. I am 5'10" 155lbs and the medium was perfect. Could not go to a large.

Hi,

I'm 6'4 and normally wear a 36 Jean. I'm like a 37 in dress pants. Would a large work in this pant for me?
