**Men's Winter Warm Loose Utility Down Pants - High Waisted Nylon Compression Snow Trousers for Outdoor Hiking & Cold Weather**

For the price paid, I believe that I did get the best down filled pants on the market. I do lots of winter activities such as snowboarding, snowshoeing, and occasionally ice fishing with my friends. Those Canadian people who experienced the last winter shall know that we do need a pair of warm & light winter pants just in case. Thus I have been searching around looking for a good deal for a decent pair of insulated pants. Apparently most of the down filled pants are quite pricy, and this one seems to be outstanding in terms of the price. After two weeks of wearing, following is my impression to these pants.My priority is whether it keeps me warm or not. Man, I can pretty much walk outdoor like an hour with it no problem. The previous winters I have been wearing a long johns underneath my jeans or dress pants, but this new down fill pants does perform a great job without them. Meanwhile, unlike other insulated or fleece pants, it is really light that maintains a high mobility for me. I believe it only weights around 1 lb.The material of this pants, ho ho, my favorite topic. The filling are 90% down and 10% feather. That’s why they are so warm and light. I check the sewing: everything is great – after two weeks of wearing, I found no “leaking” of the downs out from the pants. The pants can be easily compressed to fit an outter shell layer such as ski or hunting pants, which makes it such a nice bonus for the winter activities.Being a guy that’s 175cm(5 feet 9)/68kg(150lb), I find the size M fits just right on. However, I usually wear size small with other brands. Therefore, it is important to first read the size chart provided on the product description picture. I recommend go up one size in general (e.g. if you wear medium size regularly, please consider size L for these pants). It is very comfortable when wearing the correct size. Well, the look… It’s a pair of insulated pants, let’s just focus on the warmth LOL. If I must comment about the look and cutting: it is puffy, but which winter pants are not?These pants are impressive as I said, however, I also wanna share some room of improvements:1. I try to be extremely picky on the build/material of the pants, so be honestly, I think the zipper could be made with a better quality. The current zipper pull clips on the side pocket is a bit too thin, which means I must really be careful not to pull to hard and damage them.2. I may not agree that these pants are fully waterproof. Based on the material, I would probably call it water resistant. If I go snowboarding/skiing, I will prefer to wear a ski pants outside.3. The point above triggers the question of washing instruction. I am not necessary agreeing these pants are water washable. I think the manufacturer shall kindly provide a proper cleaning/caring instruction for the down filled pants. After all, the price is still considered relatively higher than the regular jeans/dress pants. Proper cleaning can make the pants last longer.In conclusion, so far I am very happy with these warm and comfortable pants I got for outdoor activities. I believe they are going to be my favorite for the next few winters.
