Lamborghinis, baseball bats and cougars

The Smarty system has dominated the zip-in/3-in-1 outerwear scene for years. It's so simple to just wear them with your balla shorts and not have to think about layering while getting ready to go shred- just throw them on and go. The pants inside zip into the shell with the zipper covering about 75% of your waist- so it doesn't push a zipper into your pelvis when you scorpion on the hardpack. The liner pants also can snap up to stay out of the way of your boots. The liner pants are nice to wear on your way down the hill or while grabbing your baseball bat on your way out the door to see if that was your car alarm going off. These have kept me warm on the coldest days and nights. I'm 6'0 with long legs and I got the XL's and they have plenty of length. I didn't like the tapered cut by the cuffs, they seemed kind of tight for how baggy the pant was in the waist and thighs so I just cut the piece of fabric out inbetween the ghetto slits, this gave them enough flare to cover my straps and boots more. The leg opening has a durable material which is printed on the inside, This stronger material protects your pants from the parking lot or walking around on streets but is not noticed from the outside. You can get away with not wearing a belt of you buy according to the size chart because these have a really nice adjustable waist. The shell is nice to run without the liner in the spring and the mesh vents open from the inseam and angle across the front of your thighs to actually let air in/out. The zippers are covered to be waterproof and have a flap that's an opposite opening of most zipper flaps- kinda like Lamborghini doors or something. Yeah, these pants are totally Lamborghini's yo. I just love how these pants let the park city cougars know I'm a beautiful man.
