Had my second trip to the mountain this weekend just gone with my new pants. First trip the weather was clear blue sky days.this trip was typical New Zealand weather sunny then snowing on and off both days and 1 degree so wet snow.The pants did not let any moisture through at all and just shed any moisture as droplets on the out surface. By the time that we got back to the lodge they where dry and did need to be hung up in the drying room. The fit is true to the sizing chart I am a 32" waist and with the tabs pulled tight they fit perfectly and did not slip down all day. The legs a slightly long for me but I have short legs. with fleece lining in the top half and around the knees I only needed 1 layer of long thermals to be nice and warm Very happy with them. I would recommend them to anyone especially if to ski in wet conditions
