"Update on my previous review"
Pros: Baggy, Not too warm,
Cons: Durability,
This is an update to a review that I had previously posted for these pants. I had ridden them for a season and had no issues. I got another pair in a different color and was disappointed in the quality. The cargo pockets starting coming apart after 1 day of riding and I never fell. It seemed like the stitching just fell apart. I was lucky enough to notice my keys dangling through the hole before they fell out completely. I inspected the pants when I bought them and there was nothing wrong.
I checked my old pants and they are starting to come loose at the pockets too. I'm pretty disappointed as I've never experienced this with my Foursquare pants and those are way older.

"Awesome snowpants for the dollar"
Pros: Durable, Lots of pocket, Breathes well
Cons: Baggy in the bottom,
I bought one beginning of the season and it has been great. Awesome for the price, got it for only $40. It looks great and is very durable as well. It is partially insulated so you may want to layer up if it is super cold but so far i did not have to. The only thing you may want to do is size down one, the waist size is fine if you go with the sizing chart but bottom tends to be a bit baggy so take that into consideration. Overall, good pair of snowpants.

"LOVE these!"

Got these and have had a chance to do a few runs with them now...love them. They are so comfortable, nice and baggy for layering underneath. And lots of pockets with zippers so you won't lose anything. Get these!

"baggy"
Pros: nice style, baggy look,
Cons: hanged too low on my waist, got in my bindings way,
l got this during the cyber monday deal. First got it looks really good (actually for my friend). brought it to the slopes to test it out. noticed that it was really baggy but for those that like it, its a good thing. Lots of pockets for you to store stuff. Main complaint for me was that the design was for it to be baggy while l didnt want it like that. Tried to use the lace/velcro thingy to pull it higher but it was of little help. Had the holes for belt though so l had to use that. Just because it was long it was in my bindings way when l try to strap on, always need to pull it upwards. Lastly, like l said, it was dragging( said that 4x l think), l thought it would damage the leg portion from all the dragging. to my suprise it actually didnt and survived. overal recommended if you like baggy look.

"Sessions achiles- a steal"
Pros: comfortable, great fit, warm
Cons: waterprofing,
I got these pants and wore them all year last year. I love them. For the price they are a steal. you are definatly missing out if you dont get these. For me they are the perfict fit. They are nice and baggy but the velcro waist gives you a great fit without a belt. They have so many pockets of all diferent sizes and placements. These are really warm for being kind of on the thin side. They work great for me. My friend has them and complains about the waterproffing but as long as you dont spend all day sitting in the snow you will be fine. Get them they are a steal

"These Achilles are not your typical Heel!"
Pros: Perfect lining for Spring/Light Weather Riding , Overall Weight / Comfort,
Cons: No zip-in waist gaiter, Durability,
I purchased these pants originally as a cheap alternative to current year/overpriced options. Secondly, these were meant for an alternative option during the beginning and late season riding. To my surprise, these may be the best pants I own. I am 5'08/180 punds. The mediums fit perfect for my athletic build. They are light weight and extremely comfortable, and they fit like a regular pair of pants vice the gangster look most typically wear. The drawstring leg risers are an added plus during mud season and the liner may be the best I've seen. Simply put...a steal. Definitely recommend.

"Sick pants for the price"
Pros: Comfortable, Storage, Light
Cons: 5k waterproofing,
Picked a pair of these up this season and I don't regret the purchase at all. Lightweight pants, thigh vents, pockets and zippers EVERYWHERE, and all your storage is done up tight so there's lots of options for where you can put stuff without worrying about it falling out somewhere on the mountain. Built in Recco if you care. To be honest, the waist is where you'll notice most of the sizing differences people talk about. I'm a 32-34 and the mediums have to close up on the velcro a good amount at the waist - I'm sure I could fit a Small in the waist, but I don't know if I'd be happy losing some of the play in the hips/thighs/legs since I *do* prefer a baggier fit. Still, you've got belt loops so if you're that worried about it you can always throw one of those on.
Depending on how much you plan to sit in the snow, 5k of waterproofing may affect you more than some people. Personally I freeride more than sitting in the park all day, and I haven't had a problem myself but YMMV. I know some people have said they wished it had some more waterproofing to it themselves.
Overall I think this is a great pant, especially for the price. Definitely recommend if you're trying to gear up but you're on a budget!
