i know, burton is the devil and all, but i had a pair of burton pants in mustard yellow,
i love those pants to death, i'm not a little guy, i have a large and they're even a little bit too baggy for me :)
they have 4 ventilation zipper, 2 in front, on the upper leg and 2 behind your knees, so if you opened both, it felt like skiing naked, and both closed the pants were warm, comfy and waterproof, got them for like 70$, new
and i have em for 2 seasons now and the still hold up, around the ankles i have some ski cuts, but everytime i had one, i took a lighter and burned awey the frayed edge so it wouldn't become worst....
^^not much of a constructive contribution, but i just love my snowpants, and it illustrates that quality doesn't always have to be exotic/expensive ....
