"Well made, nice pants. I really wish they had a few more pockets, especially on the rear. They are also pretty baggy which I know some folks will like, but I wish the legs were a tad bit slimmer. I don’t know that they are worth full retail, but on a good sale I can recommend"
"Excellent pants. As described and all you really need."
"Recently purchased these as an upgrade from my old worn out ski pants, and that is exactly what they are. Fit is great, fabric seems durable and waterproof. Feels like NASA level of thought and build on everything."
"I much prefer the old syle with the pockets on the outside and the holder for the beacon (keeps away from cell phone) and especially the navy color. I hate black ski pants. Otherwise, these are wonderful pants for everyday skiing in the resort and some colder weather touring days."
"I purchased these insulated pants for the cold, stormy m, lift riding powder days here on mt. Hood. First day - fantastic! warm as advertised throughout the storm day. Many icy lift rides, comfortable, perfect amount of room but not baggy. Excellent pants! Love the deep pockets too."
"Good fit. Well made. Lightweight."
"These pants are like a cozy, warm hug for your legs, with a dash of James Bond-esque technology thrown in for good measure. First off, let's talk about the weight. These pants are incredibly light weight considering the insulation and durability of the outer layer. Now, let's talk about the vents. Oh, the vents! They're like the air conditioning system of the snow pants world. They let you release all that pent-up heat when you're working up a sweat which can be quickly closed for cold rides on the lift. The stretch in these pants is something else. It's like they were designed by a contortionist. You can twist, turn, and bend in any direction, and these pants will move with you like a well-trained dance partner. They're so flexible, you might just find yourself doing yoga in them. But wait, there's more! The RECCO integration is like having a guardian angel on your side. If you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, this little piece of technology can help rescuers find you. It's like having a personal Bat-Signal, but for snow pants. And let's not forget the insulation. It's like a warm blanket for your legs, but without the bulk. It's just enough to keep you cozy without making you feel like you're wearing a sleeping bag. In conclusion, the Black Diamond Insulated Recon snow pants are a marvel of modern engineering. They're light, well-built, stretchy, and come with a side of high-tech safety features. If you're looking for a pair of snow pants that can keep up with your adventures, look no further. These pants are the real deal. The only thing I’d like is some cargo pockets cause I’m a 90s kid like that."
"These add the warmth I was looking for for lift skiing in the mountains. Warmer but still really light feeling. I like that if I do a boot pack hike out of bounds I can unzip the legs and dump heat. They are looser fitting than I like, actually baggy like old school pants. If I made a change I’d take them in and lose some legs pant rub noise when booting up. These are really nice pants for ripping around the resort."
"Love 'em. Fits well and are quite comfy!"
"The fit is perfect for me. L 5'11" -195#. The built in belt is a very nice feature and there is a bit of extra room in the waist to tuck in your base layer or a vest."
