Is it just me or are the orage snow pants pretty crappy quality this year? No hate i wear orage but my parts are shrerdded at the bottom basically for no reason i dont clip them in my bindings but the inside of the legs are full of holes and snow gets in bunches up.

Every brand of snow pants ever will eventually get tears at the bottom, get over it.

no I know what he is saying, mine started shredding the first day of the season, I started wearing an old pair of volcom snowboard pants and they have held so much stronger all season long. better warmth and waterproof, but just didnt hold strong at all.

mine have been fine. but i know what you are talking about. most holes don't come from being clipped into bindings or dragging on the ground. its from your inside edge of your ski hitting your pants on the opposite leg. nothing you can really do about itunfortunately

whatever the standard outerlayer for snowpants thats used in orage dc and those kinds is soo shitty and not durable i look for more fabric-y kinds like aperture makes pretty good pants that never ever tear and are veery waterproof cause theyre made out of some wierd fabric

Your right man, I will never cheap out on buying outerwear again. I got a DC jacket and snow pants for under 170$ and both are shit.
