When I was ski instructing at Keystone last year, we had Descente pants for our uniform and they seemed pretty warm/durable, I never really had a problem with them and they got quite a bit of wear . I think Descente generally makes pretty decent gear.

Warmth depends on if it's insulated or not. I have some DNA pants fto

Pants from a couple seasons ago that held up great, they just got dirty since they were light blue. Only thing was the cuts on cuffs from my edges, but I can't control that

it's not pronounced in the way that would make it a pun, you say it de-sawn-t

anyway, they make great gear, been around for years in the race world. DNA (Descente North America) is their freestyle devision,not sure if they are still around though

Yea, the DNA gear is amazing, I had a jacket to go with my pants (in my pictures, green and blue) incredibly durable
