waterproof ski pants

Ditto...from what I've seen of labeling...difference is, as mentioned, in wordage, "resistant" does not equal "proof".
Would be nice, but usually percentages are not listed gm.

ultimately there IS a difference between water RESISTANT and water PROOF clothing

i found out this also applies to video cameras too

also applies to watches,ruined enough of the cheapo water resistant watches showering.
go with the nixwax waterproofing. they make a spray on for gloves that really helps the seat of the ole pant problem.

I've been a fan of TNF pants for years. They fit me the best and are relatively waterproof. The Hyvent membrane seems pretty decent. I've had Freedoms and Cargos. Whether the cargo pocket is secure or not is a non-issue for me. I don't like stuff in my pants pockets. Everything goes in jacket pockets, except maybe keys in the zipped pants pockets.

I'm looking around for some new pants and shell. My current pants have the perfect beer bottle sized cargo pockets. For spring skiing, that's a requirement :beer:

i hate carrying stuff, period. my current pants have a nice zipped leg pocket that my camera fits in. my preferred jacket is a shell with lousy pockets which is why i worry more about the pants.
