I know, Burton, snowboarding sucks, support the ski industry. But this is the only pair of pants I have found that has the color I need, they seem to be a fairly low standard, but I was wondering if anyone would know how they might hold up?

this is based on no actual fact what so ever, just my speculation, but I think snowboard brand pants would hold up better than others, just because of how much time a lot of boarders sit on their ass.

imo, pants are pants. A nice pair of ski pants versus a nice pair of snowboard pants are not built different to compensate for snowboarders sitting needs. Likewise, a shitty pair of ski pants are built the same as a shitty pair of snowboard pants.

Yeah, just from there line up, it is their lower end pair of pants, but you are correct it is from a well represented company. I'll go for it, thank you.

i borrowed a pair last year for a few days cause i didnt have my pants at the time. they sit nice and they seem like they would hold up. but i did have a few cuts from rails and the edges of skis towards the bottom. nothing serious though.

if you're looking for a nice pair of pants without breaking the bank i'd go for em.

I'm not to sure about that! Burton stuff is made in China & pretty much everything sold at Walmart is from China, even some food? Also because when my buddie used to have burton stuff all he ever did was complain about his bindings or boots being broken even after getting them fixed and I know if I asked him right now about how he felt about burton I would probably hear the word fuk come out of his mouth a few times.
