Wasn't expecting a lot considering it's Amazon Basic, but even for "basic" these pants are adequate for "basic" usage. I plan to wear these après ski when I snowboard up in Furano, Hokkaido, Japan, where temperatures could drop down to -20°C. In past trips to Hakuba where it's slightly warmer, I ued to wear merino long underpants with jeans, but it was a hassle and didn't keep me warm. These Amazon pants definitely will keep my legs warm and dry despite being lightweight. I worry my legs may start sweating once I'm indoors! Perfect for a quick dinner out. The fabric pull tabs on the zippers look like they can fall apart any second, but I can always replace them with something else. The zippers themselves are sturdy YKK ones. I'm 5'11" (179 cm) and 185 lbs (84 kg). I purchased Medium and it's a snug but comfortable fit just under the waist (i.e., under my pot belly).

Photos from after a whole season of use. In the winter I deliver propane in the North East and need to stay warm and dry. These stay waterproof and keep in warmth. I wish they had sizing options like jeans though. I’m a 32x30 and went with Medium. Waist was perfect with the adjusters. Only gripe is length is a tad too long but I’d just tuck the inner layer into my boots and roll the outer layer. Lasted a whole winter with no issues. As opposed to some other cheap ones I’ve bought that tear easily and fall apart.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with my purchase. The pants are incredibly comfortable and the insulation kept me warm on even the coldest of days. The waterproofing technology held up well during a particularly snowy day on the mountain.However, I did notice that the length of the pants was a bit too long for me. I'm 5'8" and ordered a size medium, but I had to roll the bottom at least 2-3 times. This was a bit frustrating, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me.Overall, I would recommend these pants to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable option for skiing or snowboarding. Just be mindful of the length if you're on the shorter side

I bought this pant for a last minute traveling plan to a skiing resort in VT. The pants fit well and the quality is good for the price. I got many compliments for the grey stone color. They protected me from snow and water. Highly recommend!

Wow, these are amazing. I was really not expecting the quality to be of pants that I'd expect for closer to $100 or more. I've never owned snow pants (and didn't know what they were for --skiing-- other than being fatter than regular tactical pants, now realizing that I'm gonna have a hook on the bottom of my pants I'll probably never use since I wasn't buying these for skiing?) Anyway, here's my perspective anyway. I love owning all kinds of gear for literally regular daily use. I don't climb mountains, I don't actually go long-term/long-range hiking (other than my local trails like a normie) but I love being outside for prolonged periods of time (at times walking my dog) and I also work outside. So I love owning gear for the Texas weather.Right off the bat, I noticed that these pants are basically like having a jacket for your legs. You can immediately feel the fluff inside the pants. Snow pants are like fluffy down jackets for your legs. They are great to wear in winter at home. They're comfortable enough (even though they're made out of nylon on the outside, the inside might be polyester, I don't know for sure but it feels comfortable and smooth) to be worn inside all day. Much more than a premium Levi stretch jeans. If you're cheap like me and don't like using heat, wear these! (combine them with wool socks or scuba socks)Some things I noticed, they are very wide and do not taper at the bottom (for obvious reason), you wouldn't want to be caught with these outside unless it's actually snowing. It will look very out of place. But I'm fine with them since I can still use them inside and when it's actually snowing or raining (but I don't know if they will hold up in the rain like my rain pants). I'm guessing I'll give them a shot in very cold weather if I don't wanna bulk up under my rain pants. This test remains yet to be tested but I'm assuming they won't hold up like my rain pants since these are for snow and not rain. They're resistant, not proof. Although I could probably put on my rain pants over these so it will take less time to get ready for rain rather than bulking up.These are definitely rugged pants even though they're not rip stopping. They seem much tougher than your regular nylon ripstop pants (I own several). They definitely seem tougher material than your regular nylon pants and I think ripstop is not even needed. This is just by feeling the fabric and in my expert opinion of owning pants. I let dogs come up to me and mess with my clothes so I know what kind of fabric can take what kind of beating. I've been there. I honestly don't really see the point of ripstop when generally you're going to run into issues with being poked into the fabric rather than stretched. ripstop doesn't protect against being poked (like by a dog's paws or pointy shrubs/vines). I feel like these pants could take a lot more beating than perhaps my toughest nylon pants I own.I was quite impressed by the zippers on these pants. There's a fly zipper, then two front pocket zippers (no back pockets) and zippers by your ankles, all are high quality, thick/fat smooth zippers. Basically the best you can have. There's a small polyester lining by the ankles I guess to keep your legs protected from snow. I don't know why else. Either way, I don't intend to ski in the near future but at this price and the fact that I just wanted to own snow pants, I'm thoroughly impressed and satisfied. I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars to own something I don't intend to use a lot but I do think I'll use these a lot at home. I own a lot of thick sweatpants and joggers, but I'm weird and I like using new things.
