Not a deal breaker, the suspenders could be a bit wider and of thinner material. Big fan of Schoeller ski trousers, and these are the best replacements I have found so far.

Lots of pockets, including a beacon pocket. Big vents. That's what I'm looking for in my backcountry pants. I'll admit the suspenders were chafing my chest and causing the fabric of my underlayer to pile-up. So I topped using them.

I've only worn these on one hike so far, but they were comfortable for all 8 miles, didn't cause any hot spots, remained snug, and kept me warm (it was only around 35 degrees F, so not crazy). The side vents are wonderfully placed and have a great length, you have a pocket for any occasion (all of them are zippered), and they have gaiters! OR thinks of everything. Also, they're incredibly breathable because of those side vents. I'm 5'8", 135lbs and I bought a small. I like closer-fitting clothes and they do just that without being like spandex. The waistband is adjustable AND they have suspenders, so whatever size you get won't matter for the waist. I'll try to post an update later, but I'm taking these babies with me everywhere this winter. I already love them!

I own multiple pair of these. Wear them for search and rescue in the pucker brush and at work as a Mt patrol ranger as well as ice climbing. Great under a harness.

These pants are designed and have the best set-up I have come across. The pockets types and functionality are spot on for ski touring. HOWEVER, they are just too dang short. I am 6' tall and these pants ride about 2" too much. Truly is sad because I really like these pants.. OR, PLEASE make a a longer version.

Great pants with nice side zips for venting. Power strap is accommodated in the integrated gaiter, which is handy. Still undecided about the waterproof lower - good for wet days, not as breathable on dry days...

Second pair of these I've owned, first pair worn to shreds. These are a top BC touring pant, very breathable plus side zips, very comfortable, adjustable waist, lots of pockets for beacon/field guide, wallet, etc. The price is very good and the durability is decent. My only complaint was the material at the knees, it's too thin and tears / rips kind of easily although I'm often kneeling in the snow while teaching snow safety stuff.

Not sure....

Can't say enough about how fantastic these are for skiing! Comfortable, durable and warm pants that have extended my time on the mountains.
