I've got a spare pair of Helly Hansen pants that I've had a few seasons, but haven't used much because I haven't done any heli or BC skiing in several seasons.
These things are bombproof. They don't make em like this anymore unfortunately. 3-ply Helly-Tech fabric, extra reinforced at the inside of the boot, the entire inner and back of the thigh and butt, and over the articulated knee. There's an integrated gaiter. All the seams are taped, the construction is better than anything I've seen before or since. It's a sort of half-height bib-style that's fitted and trim around the top and baggy down the legs. The top comes just below about mid-abdomen, so not as high as a bib, but higher than regular pants. There's three pockets, two zipper, and one velcro that's super easy to get at on the front of the leg.
They're technically a backcountry mountaineering/snowboarding pant if that gives you any idea how burly they are, and what the style would be. They were ~$400 when I bought them new I think... it's been a while.
Like I said, they just don't make stuff like this anymore.
Here's a link to some pictures of them.

I have no idea if anyone's interested, nor where to even begin on a price.
Thanks! :)
