Truly impressed. I suck at skiing. So when I slid down half of Snowshoe mtn. In West Virginia I was shocked to see the hind end of these ski pants didnt even show a mark. No tears , no rips, no issues. These are warm enough for single digits with thermals underneath for sure. I had these thermals and sweatpants on and I was soaked in sweat by the time I got back to the room. So I do endorse this product for its price, and performance. Especially for someone unsure if they will like skiing and not break the bank. These also were comfortable. Yes, they run a little tight. So ordering up to account for your extra layers is recommended. Honestly, I could use the 3x instead of 2x but im not small. I am 6'4 250 athletic/muscle build. My chest is wider than my waist so it did get a little snug up top.
