Lightweight yet decently rugged. Multiple days in the backcountry and resort without any issues. Light material and good vents make spring touring pleasant. Have skied storm days too and was well locked in thanks to the bib and ankle cuffs. Great range of movement for skinning and kick turns. Good pockets including a nice beacon packet in the bib section. The sizing is snug, especially on the stretchy bib. I’m a 30inch waist and no belly, I ordered the size 30 and it is just right but with only a base layer underneath. Definitely size up if you’re concerned. The zip on the bib also tends to slide down, a snap button at the top would be a nice feature. Only real criticism is the fly! On a cold morning after too much coffee that tiny fly is a joke. I usually have to rip the whole front open to color the snow! Too baggy for climbing. No drop seat. But overall great ski pant when weight and movement is important

Thigh zipper failed within a year. Pretty waterproof, required treating @ 2 months

I love Mammut pants but this one is a miss. Or maybe had a faulty zipper. Either way, the thigh zipper for the vent on the right side failed after just a few months and so I wore a buff over the hole for the rest of the season. Waterproofing treatment also started to fail quite early and the pants required re-treatment with Nikwax. I wanted the hardshell for ski touring and resort skiing, but am back to using my old Mammut Courmayer pants from years ago for ski touring, which still has all functioning vents/pockets. I hope this is a one-off and does not reflect any change in quality from Mammut, as I love their softgoods (and especially pants).

Great quality. I enjoy the flexibility to use the suspenders or to remove them. Pockets are deep and securely stores my phone, food, and wallet

Great bibs, their ability to convert from bibs to pants will take a bit of getting use to but so far

Will take some getting use to the ability to convert. Also might need to change the one pads I use for telemarking. The membrane on the inside seems to stick to my soft knee pads when entering turns. For alpine they are awesome no problems, and work fantastic.

Nice fit and feel.

Love the color, the fit and feel. Only had them for this ski season, so time will tell if these pants are durable, but after 22 days on the mountain they've kept me warm and dry so I'd highly recommend. They do run a little tight in the upper leg, so if you spend a lot of time doing leg work in the gym you may have to order up a size.

Overall very solid pants for the price

For this price point, the pants can't be beat. Would be nice to have full zips for layering but still great ski touring pants. Cheeta color looks excellent in person too. The bib strap could be a little shorter. Seems overly long, but will probably work great for someone with a longer torso.

Excellent fit. The zipper on the bib of the pant seems a little on the cheap side. It slowly works its way undone. I've got a lot of knicks in the pocket where I keep my phone. While the thin material is great, it would be nice if it was a little thicker and more durable at the pockets.

After reading other reviews I cannot be too upset in how the top of the bibs fit. I'm 30x32 pants and most shirts I have issues where the mid section is overly baggy compared to the shoulders. I thought the reviews that the top was like a corset might be better fitting for me...not the case. The top was uncomfortably snug and sat much lower on the chest than expected. The vertical zipper on the top section does not have a clasp and the zipper easily runs itself down. The removal top portion has a hole at the interface of the zippers (where the vertical zipper meets the zipper that zips around to remove the top). This defeats the purpose of bibs and would easily allow for snow to enter the bibs. I would rate lower except that the pants portion of the bibs is well fitting and well made, constructed out of good waterproof materials. But I wanted to try some new bibs and now I just have another pair of pants. I would not recommend these to anyone, any body type.

Supple and Solid

To be honest, taking these out of the packaging I thought that I bought the wrong bibs. The pants were insanely soft and immediately made me think that these would not do the deed of keeping out the wind and moisture. Fast forward to finishing up a dawn patrol, and I'm extremely impressed by how the pants kept my legs dry and the wind out even on top of a wind-buffeted summit. Along with the awesome weather protection, the pants are super flexible which lends to being able to reduce bunched up clothing in specific areas of the lower body without having to fight the rigidity of the pants. 10/10 Do be aware that I'll update you with further info if durability does not meet the initial construction.

Great pants excellent features

I love the fit and features of these pants. I took off a few points because the stitching on the suspender strap attachment didn't last more than ten days.
