WHAT?!

Ranked #4 - Women's Pants
December 29, 2008
All the above ratings only rated these snowpants on their overall fit. What about how they performed?
I was seriously dissapointed with these snow pants... and even though I've had a previous problem with a Volcom Jacket, I still love Volcom. But no more Volcom outerwear for me!
It is true they run big, so size down. They're a lot baggier than the picture seems too.
As for the performance... By the 2nd week I was wearing these the buttons fell off the closure, even though the pants were big on me. (Same problem I had with a Volcom jacket) By the next week small things like the gaiter clips were falling off and the bottom of my pants were completely torn apart. I do snowboard 5 days a week because I'm an instructor, but I was still hoping they'd hold up a lot better. Also- they are a lot less water resistant than I was hoping. I ended up spending a lot more $$$ on a pair that won't fall apart on me and will do their job.
