Ski pants

[tjf67]

I use a marmot shell. I have three different base layers depending on temps. I put the rubber knee braces on both knees to keep them warm and that is all.
Been using the same pants since 99.

north face g-tex shell w/ various base layers depending on temps here. IMO, you really need g-tex top and bottom, or at least I do, I sweat like a fat kid.

Under armour cold gear base layer, then either my Phenix insulated Entrant membrane pants if its cold or my Marmot Gore-tex shell pants for warmer temps. If's it's really cold, then I'll throw a pair of heli-hansen ligthweight insulating base layer pants on too!.

Layers + weather proof outer fabric = warm body parts

I went to EMS and tried on their cargo and toaster pant, both were really long on me and even if I was to have my ski boots on they would still be long.

I ended up getting a pair of The North Face insulated Freedom pants today while I was up in New Hampshire. I tried on a bunch of different bands, but ended up with these since they were offered in a "short"

Thanks for all the input.
