I bought these for my wife because she needs snowboard pants that are super waterproof to avoid a wet & freezing butt all day on the slopes. These are definitely waterproof! They are a thick and fairly rigid "plastic" feeling material. But this also means that they did not give at all in their sizing and felt very rigid on her body. The fit was also just wrong. The hips and butt were so tight she could barely walk, but she had to cinch the waist a TON. Due to the rigid material, when she squatted down in a snowboard stance, the pants wanted to fall down in the back, despite the tight fit. It was all just wrong and uncomfortable. She really wishes these pants fit well because they are super high quality.

I orginally purchased a size Med. I am 5'9" normnally a size 6 in pants..and the smallest thing about me is my hips/butt. I could barely get them over my hips nevermind try to button my covid/wine/tostito belly so I returned for a L. Large arrived, no problem with the fit except the front crotch area was so room you could store a pair of mittens down your pants and then the fit from the knee down was baggy and terrible. Snowboard style mixed with a not bootcut but too baggy. My husband asked if I had them on right. Positive note: the color (slate) as great and the pickets/zippers seem great. I read the review here that were positive before purchase but should have paid more attn to the reviews on Flylow website that pretty much all said negative things about the fit. maybe they just aren't meant for normal people bodies...

The color is delightful. The quality seems great. The fit was waaaay too small. I am short (so I was ready for them to be too long as everything is always too long for me). I usually wear a size 12-14 pant so I ordered the XL according to the size chart. Perhaps the size chart is not accurate? Either way, if that is the largest size available this brand does not make gear for woman with any meat on their bones.

I am a steady size 10 petite in pants. If anything, my pants can run big. Even the XL were too tight on my thighs, right at the meaty part of my quads. I bought too different pants and I really wanted to love them. Even my jacket, that I did like, gave me the feeling that it was really made for straighter women - it bunched up a bit at my hips.

Great ski pants!

I got these to wear for ski touring since my resort pants do not have any vents. But now I love them so much I'm sure I will wear them in the resort on warmer days too! I am pear shaped and have trouble finding ski pants that fit well. These are pretty good, a bit tighter in the hips and thighs than I was expecting based on other reviews, but a much better fit than I've ever had in ski pants. I can still move freely in them without restriction. The length is also perfect and they have a high rise (up to my belly button). I'm 5'4" with a sort torso/long legs so they could be short on taller women. I got a size M, and generally wear a size 6 or 8 (or 27-28) in pants. The elastic waist adjustment is also key since my waist is small compared to my hips. The venting is great, and the pants seem very durable. They are also pretty cute! This was my first Flylow purchase and I'm sure it won't be the last!

I buy large-sized items across the board both for tops and bottoms, and these pants were far too small for me in the waist and thighs. Length was good for a 5'8" gal, but I would need to size up to XL for these to work. I will be returning these. To compare, I bought 4 pants all in a size large to compare: Orage Clara - fit true to size in L -- North Face Sally Pant - fit true to size in L (a tad roomy in the waist) -- Flylow Nina - length good, small in thighs and waist -- Mountain Hardware Cloud Bank - waaaaay too short for me, but fit was great in thighs and waist!

stout, super, simple

Great for Backcountry!

I've only made it through one season with these pants but I am in love! As a backcountry pant, these were light, and the vent pockets on the inside and outside of the leg made for easy temperature control. On the warmest of days, these were light enough to stuff into my pack, and not take up much room. These pants were super flattering on, not super tight fitting and very moveable, and the adjustable waist allowed me to find the perfect fit. As for resort skiing, I will have to find some warmer base layers to pair with these pants! They are in fact a shell, and my legs felt the cold after sitting on chairlifts for too long. If you're using these without the intention of hiking, invest in some good base layers. All in all love the pant and the sizing!!

Best ski pant - in bounds and touring

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I've worn these pants for a solid 3 seasons and I just bought my second pair. I spent majority of the days wearing them in-bounds with a pair of Flylow Shreggings underneath. Perfect combination! I put close to 200 days on them (mostly snowboarding) and they are They are incredibly comfortable and also flattering! The zip vents are great for touring as well. I raved about them so much that my boyfriend ended up getting a pair and then finally said, "Okay.. I get it. ;)" I'd say what went first was the water proofing on the butt. As these pants got old, on cold days my butt and legs started freezing on the lift. That is what made me pull the trigger to get a new pair. I guess that is fair enough after putting a lot of days on them. I plan to strap in more standing up in stead of being lazy and sitting down to preserve the waterproofing in that area with my next pair :) I only washed these guys once with Nikwash tech wash.
