These pants were excellent! I used them both to go snow boarding and to just play in the snow and they were fantastic in their ability to keep me dry, warm and comfortable. I only wore one layer of light thermals underneath and was very toasty in below freezing temps! They are not too tight encouraging ease of movement. I was even able to sprint while having a snow ball fight :) And the fact that the have outer tabs to adjust the waist is very handy, all in all, excellent all around snow boarding pants
