X Country - best outdoor pants ever
I have owned and used Sporthill Cross Country ski pants for about 20 years. They are the best all-around outdoor pants you can buy. They are comfortable, very long lasting and block wind and repel snow well. This is my third pair purchasing for my husband and I have purchased three as well, plus multiple jackets. Love, love, love them!
XC pants
I am wearing these pants now for more than 20 years. I wear them for several weeks each year for rigorous cross country skiing and snowshoeing activities. Although now faded, they continue to fit flawlessly and the elastic and zippers work perfectly. My pants are made in USA. I hope that the new ones that I will order are also made in USA and of equal quality. Thank you to Sporthill.
Men's Factory Second 3SP® XC® Pant
My 2nd pair (first pair must be 15+ years old) as the first finally became too worn out to continue using in public...love the function and fit!!!
Xc pants
Great gear. Pants are thin warm and very comfortable because they stretch.
Great fit
Great fit and it does the job well!
Quality control issues
Both ankle openings are larger than they should be allowing wind to blow up the legs of the pants effectively defeating the entire purpose of buying windproof pants,. If that were not bad enough, the openings are not even the same, i.e., one is larger and the other smaller. I have owned at least 5 of thse XC pants over the years and my last 2 purchases were a complete waste of my money. Adding insult to injury is the fact that the buyer is the one who pays postage to return SportHills lousy offering.
Men's X-C pants
These are perfect for the record breaking Seattle rain, and temps in low 30s. They fit and look great.
Look great
Mine arrived quickly in the mail. I was wondering whether the factory seconds would have a significant problem. I looked them over, inspecting all seams, and couldn't find anything wrong with the factory seconds pair I bought. I like the classic look with the seam down the front. I wore a different pair 20 years ago when I was a ski instructor and this new pair still looks classic and stylish today. The cut isn't as snug as my other ski tights but I like these on cold mornings for classic stride XC skiing. They're also great for lounging around the house. The fabric is a bit on the stiff side, especially when new, but the soft and slightly fuzzy interior makes them very comfortable.

great heavy pant for cold ski!
Great Value for Factory Seconds
I wanted a second pair of Zone 3 pants for knocking around outside during the winter months (shoveling snow, etc.). Sporthill was out of stock in the 3SP XC pants in my size so I decided to take a look at the factory seconds. They had my size in the seconds and they were $70 off so I purchased a pair and couldn't be happier. The defect is almost unnoticeable, the pants fit well, and the workmanship is top notch. Other than the small defect on the back of the right leg, they look perfect. Glad I checked the outlet center!
