Favorite pants
I'm 6' tall and it's a struggle to find pants long enough in the leg and the rise. These fit amazingly well in the Large Long (I'm about an 8 in regular US pants) and the articulated knees make an enormous difference in how well they stay put when active when you are tall. Wish more pants had these! They are good xc skiing down to about 15F on their own and with long underwear I will wear them colder than that, although I also have the sport hill 3SP pants for really cold/windy weather as these provide no wind protection to your rear and sometimes you need it. In addition to skiing, I wear them hiking in cooler 40s/50s temps, under my waders fly fishing in cold weather and I usually wear them camping in the fall and spring. I really like hiking in them as they are quiet unlike most softshell pants. Overall, super versatile and comfy pant that washes well and can be used nearly year round in northern areas.
Women’s Super XC Pants
I haven’t had a chance to XC ski or snowshoe in these pants, but they fit pretty well. The material in the back is different from the front which is less stretchy and more water/wind repellent. I’m 5’3”, approx 124 lbs. I ordered both Small-Reg and Medium-Petite. The Small was a little tight and the front rise was very low. I like the Med-Petite as they have room for a base layer and the waist is higher.
Fit and material on this pant
Love this pant. The Small long was perfect in the waist and leg length (5'6" 127 lbs.) But I returned it for 2 reasons. It was too thin for snowshoeing and hiking in elevation and the rear end fit was baggy, even though the waist fit correctly. The material is stellar. I would say this is a better running pant than a pant to be used in elevation.
WOMEN'S SUPER XC® PANT
Those pants came apart the first day I wore them. A big hole along the seem on my behind.
great soft shell
these pants fit perfectly...i am 5’3” and ordered the small. i appreciate the articulated knees. the only thing that would make them over the top would be more pockets. otherwise i am very happy with my purchase!
xc pants
i ordered the pant in womens small- along time ago ( over 20 years) i bought a mens med because nothing else was available at that time- i was 25 pounds heavier so i decided to get a new pair in the womens size that was appropriate- i am 5'9" and 130 lbs- the pants that came in a womens size small was the exact same size as the med mens that i purchased over 20 years ago- so they really are too big but i decided to keep them because the material is slightly nicer- other than this they are great cross country ski pants - they block the wind totally- are very warm
So light and so warm!
When I got these pants I thought they were way too light to be warm. I was WRONG. I have worn them xc skiing and running in single digit chill factors and they are perfect! They are the best cold weather pants I have ever owned. Worth every penny.
Perfect temperature and wind control.
I love these pants! I ordered a ML, I’m 5’9” and a size 8, they fit amazingly well. I recently wore them on a 22 mile ski and they did an amazing job with temperature regulation. I did wear tights under them. They did a great job wicking sweat and blocking the wind. They are so comfy I could wear them all the time, not just for exercise.
Great pants
I love these for winter running and xc skiing. They fit well and are very comfortable. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is the lack of pockets. There is just one very small pocket (large enough for a key or credit card). I would love to have another larger pocket to stash a trail map or other things.
Nice and long
I love the fit of these pants, super long. I was a bit chilly XCO skiing, not really cold. I only wish there was a o ring to attach my season pass. Otherwise I’m happy with my purchase.
