Snow pants Recommendations?

Anyone know a pair of snowpants that can handle shitty wet Whistler park laps near a hundred days a season? Something loose fitting with enough water proofing that you don't suffer from a wet ass on the charlift and doesn't leave you chilly. Anything?

Any waterproof snow pants really. Haha i hate to be this guy but i like my anomie pants. Waterproof, can be loose fitting deepening on size. I'm happy with mine. Bloom is also a great company. I have a bloom jacket with no complaints so i assume bloom pants are just as good.

Older 3L models? Or the newer 2L ones? Cause I'm gettin wet in my 2L ones, mind you after some seriously shitty weather, plus the DWR coating stuff has faded over the seasons. I'm gonna reapply the waterproofing with some spray shit but that doesn't hold super long so I'm looking for an alternative that don't cost goretex money.

Umm idk. I just know I had some oneill 5k stuff and I was in your situation and low on cash so a saga deal came up and I got the anomie. I bought this years so I guess the 2L. And it's warm where I'm at too. Raining, get 60 degrees during the day, my pants are new but they are doing quite well.

We'd suggest the gibson (http://www.orage.com/gibson) or Exodus Shell (http://www.orage.com/men/exodus-shell) -- both are 20k/20k and should do a great job of keeping you dry!

I would personally recommend the belmont. Ive been using them for teaching and the snow and snot from kids just run off them. Because they are a shell the won't be that warm but if you layer proporly you will burn. I only wore some underwear and some MEC long johns and my special pjs. The fit on them is on point. I got the 2xl with some suspenders and sagged them and the are awesome. Although if you want to use them normally and your above 6'3 get the 2xl with suspenders. The leg seam is a bit short but one you sag them, again the will fit you like a dick inside a vagina.

Belmonts are also a great option and what most of the marketing crew rides in at the office, but note that they are only 10k/10k and might not keep you as dry on those really wet days.

Can't go wrong with Virtika either. The bibs are also really clutch for sagging.
