Bought these for field work on an island in the snow and they were so much warmer than I was expecting them to be. I was almost sweating from my walking around in them! They were great for walking through snowy, thorny areas, as they are thick and durable while also being waterproof and incredibly warm. A bit heavy, but that's to be expected, and the waist has adjustable Velcro straps so everything stays secure. I'll definitely reach for them again if I'm outdoors in the winter.

In the past, I've spend hundreds of dollars on North Face, Patagonia, Spider, Burton, Oakley/Smith, you name it and they hold up well but they are so expensive. So, I thought I'd try these pants out and I was surprised to say they fit well, and after a few snowboarding trips, they haven't shown much wear. I appreciated that the sizes were more inclusive, as they do offer shorter pant options too. I thought to myself, if they can hold up for even 2 seasons, then I've gotten my money's worth. So, for your normal trips up the mountain, I'd recommend this.

I bought these pants to wear skiing, and chose them for two reasons: one is that they come in lengths, which most ski pants don't, but which is very important to me because I am built like a corgi (big booty, thicc thighs, short little stubby legs) and snow pants that are too long are a real problem when skiing, and snow pants aren't exactly hemmable. The other reason was the price - $30, are you kidding me?I have worn them several times and even washed them in the laundry and for the most part I'm very pleased with the fit, look, and functionally of these pants. I have just two complaints: first, I got the white because I thought it would look best with my coat, but if you plan to wear them skiing I recommend getting another color. They show every little stain and for the most part do not wash out. The worst part is the bum and especially the hips which are dingy from the chair lifts and it does not come out at all in the wash. I'm not that precious about it so I'll keep wearing them, but if I'd known that I would have gotten a different color.The other complaint I have is that they simply do not stay up on me when I'm skiing and I have to constantly pull them up, which is a little hard to do with gloves on and ski poles in my hands. Like I said I got them thicc thighs and booty and the pants fit that part of my body amazing (for full context I'm 5'6" and about 220lb and I got the XL). But the waist is too wide, and the Velcro adjusting straps on the sides let go the moment I move at all so they might as well not even be there. I'm solving this problem by buying a pair of cute suspenders which I'm ok with because of all the positives of the pants. I just wish they had a bib style, then I'd be extremely happy.I'll say also that I see other girlies in the lodge and on the slopes wearing these same pants so they are quite popular! So if you get them you'll be in good company.

This is my 2nd pair of these Artix snow pants. They’re warm & waterproof with high quality closures that hold up well. Comfortable to ski in. The 33 length also gives you more length in the rise which is helpful for me as it lets the waistband sit at my true waist instead of on my hips. I’m typically a size 7/8 long in jeans and I’m between the small 33 and medium 33 in these. I tried a 31 medium as well and the waistband hit significantly lower making them tight around and too snug in the crotch for athletic activity.

I used these snow pants all winter and they held up great. They're comfortable, easy to walk in, and fit nicely in the waist. I only wish they were maybe 2 inches longer but it's not that big a deal. They kept me warm and dry even when out in the snow for a long time. I purchased black, which was nice, will definitely buy again in more colors for next winter.

I was looking for real insulated snow pants, not some yoga pants with fleece inside. These are exactly right in that regard, albeit a little noisy, as snow pants usually are. They seem like they are well made. The crazy part is, unless the pants I got are mislabeled, there seems like no good fit for me. Based on the pop-up size chart for the brand (I saw no other on the page) an L should have been perfect in every way. It was actually a bit of a task to pull those over my hips and rear, where they felt a bit snug, and sat at the top of their rise but still at least 2" below my waist, and more than 4" from being able to fasten with any amount of effort. As I pulled on the XLs, which the chart showed should only vary by about 3" at the waist and hips, I could tell they were very generous going on. While the somewhat longer rise allowed those to sit higher, the waist is so much larger that when fastened they literally fell to sit loosely on my low hip, but could be easily slid to my knees.Pulling them back up I thought the fit might still work (esp with some extra layers) using the stretchy side tabs that secure with velcro. Good idea and could be comfy, but I ran out of velcro territory long before a fit was made. Possibly, for the price, these would be worth adding velcro to the front of the waist band, near the center, to secure the waist where it should be. It would be less hassle than trying to order a few more pairs to see if something is wrong with the labeling, and having them all to return.
