Weird fit

By Ranked #72 - Women's Snowboard Pants December 30, 2012

Loved the look of these online, but not so much out of the box. I am normally a medium in Burton, but ordered a large in these pants because of the slim fit- I like to have room for a base layer and room to move. Firstly, these pants are made for a giant. I don't know how many women are 7' tall, but that's who the length of this pant is for. I am 5'9" and these pants were conservatively 4" too long, which looked completely ridiculous and is not at all practical. Also, the waist of these was enormous, which I had anticipated having ordered the large, but the thighs were still snug. If you have a large booty and skinny long legs, these will probably fit great. Also, the velcro used to seal the pockets was super rough and scratchy, which would be irritating every time you need to access the pockets.
Lots of pockets though, which is great, and some cool hooks etc, for a lift ticket or season pass. I got the Keef, and the color was awesome. As I sent these back, I could not comment on the warmth, but the material seemed like good Burton quality that would keep you warm and dry.
In the end, the length and restricted leg movements were a deal breaker for me, so I opted to send them back in exchange for a more functional design.
