the prefect BC pant
These pants are the best for me fit features and function are top drawer If they don't fit your body gain or loose weight its worth it but do not trash talk the gear. Been wearing these for 2 years in the BC back country ski touring and skiing and the function is flawless!

Good ski pants
I have always liked bib style ski pants, and I was looking for something in the softshell material. ( More like the older traditional ski pants) Saw a Mountain hardware Conduit Jacket and liked the feel of the material and read the many good reviews. So I ordered these ski pants. I have used them now several times and like them very much. The material seems very water resistant and breathable. ( I won't call them water proof until I have used them in much weter conditions. But I have Goretex for those conditions) They have stood up to 3 hours + in wet heavy snow fall and my legs and seat stayed dry. It' has not been to cold when I have used them. 25 degrees has been about the coldest and they where warm enough to use with out long underwear. On warmer days this spring the zippers in the leg are great for cooling and venting your legs. ( They also have worked well for snowshoing with this feature.) Good construction and details with the gaiters in the pants and zippers. Chest pocket is nice and handy and good to use for small items when skiing.

Love Mountain Hardwear, didn't like these pants.
I have never been dissipated with Mountain Hardware products before, but these pants were a big disappointment. Although they look great and seem to be made of high quality materials, the fit was much too snug around the hip and upper leg. When on a walk for about 30 minutes in 20 degree weather, my but was freezing for the entire time because there was never enough room for warm air to gather. Then, when removing the pants the zipper on the side came off the track and I was un-able to fix it. I had to return these pants after only 40 minutes of light use. I think if your a slender build, and have skinny legs, you'll love these pants. But being of a more athletic build, these pants were just too tight around the hip and quadriceps for me.

Don't fit right.
For over three years I'm enjoying of using regular MH Synchro pants and was hoping to have similar bibs. But I was very disappointed with these bibs. The lower part is cut too wide (like for 70's disco) and gaiters are just adding bulk and weight. At the same time the upper part around waist and chest is very tight and will prevent air circulation in this area which will cause excessive sweating.It even restricts your breath. All of these make you awkward and uncomfortable. Just couldn't get them to fit right. I returned the item and purchased Marmot Storm King which I am absolutely happy with.
