Arctix Men's Essential Snow Pants

First impressions: They look & feel great! I’m 6ft, 180lbs. True to size IMO. I know they will keep me warm. I love the elastic velcro on the waist to tighten on both sides. Excited to give them a shot!

These were my first pair of ski/snow pants. I bought them for a trip to Germany, where there was constant snow. See below for a general overview of pros and cons.Pros:- Waterproof: truly waterproof. I tried them out in rain and snow (up to knee-deep) and there was no water damage or leakage of water inside the pants.- Breathable: never sweat in these despite hiking for hours.- Warm: these pants are very well insulated. I did not have to wear thermals under these and my legs were always warm, even in single-digit (Fahrenheit) weather. I sat on ice and blocks of snow and my legs never got cold.- Durable and well-made: I put these pants through rough terrain and non-stop snow exposure. They held up excellent and no evidence of wear and tear.- Very comfortable- Fit very well: I am a little under 5'4" with a 28 waist. Although these pants were a bit wide at the waist, there are elastic velcro bands on the sides that you can tighten to shrink the waist. Despite this, the pants were still a bit wide at the waist but I can't blame the company for that being that I have a 28 waist and there "Small" size fits more like a 30.Cons:- The only issue I had with these was the length. They are a bit long on me, to the point that the bottom backs of the pants scrap the ground even when I'm wearing snow boots. Again I'm a little shy of 5'4" and usually wear a 30-inch short inseam for my regular jeans and dress pants but these seem to be more of a 30-inch long inseam. But these are the shortest snow/ski pants I could find for this price so I'll take it.Overall, I am happy with my purchase. They definitely did the trick in Germany, where there was constant snow. I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking for reliable, durable, warm, waterproof pants for cold weather.

Originally, I bought and returned the Arctix Cargo Snow pants. The sizing on the Cargo style was off in my opinion. These essential snow pants are more accurate sizing. The length on the regular is shown as 32 inch and on the Cargo pants that was way off as those were much longer. On these Essential snow pants the length was as expected. I also found the waist in the Cargo style smaller than expected while the Essential style was more accurate. For these Essential snow pants, I find them a good bargain. They are decently constructed and I think will work well for my use which is taking the dog out in winter and shoveling. I have worn them a few times now and they are warm and provided wind and wet protection. These are very very much like the Cargo syle other than the sizing seems much better.. I don't expect they will last a lifetime but for my occassional non-extreme use, I expect some years. I think the snaps and velcro waist closure is weak, but ok. The adjustable waist feature give small flexibility but I largely think it doesn't do much due to its design. I ordered a size up in these so that I could wear over pants or not over pants. These fit good over pants, but not over pants they are a little loose and the adjustable waist isn't firm enough to help a lot. I added a belt and now I am set. The boot gaitors on these also seem more appropriately size where I think the ones are the Cargo are super large. I am happy with these especially for the price. I'd not pay more.

I’m a 30x30 in men’s jeans (I can fit into a 29 if they’re stretch waist, but 30 is my true size). I got the medium thinking it would be nice for thermals and stuff underneath. Well, they’re big. Even with the straps all the way tight I need to use a belt. They do have a belt loop thankfully, so I will keep them. If you’re a 30” waist, I’d recommend trying the smalls, as they seem to be over-sized by design (they thought of layering too, it appears, and made them large). The medium work with a belt, but seriously the waist is easily over 34”, they fall right off even when tightened. That said I haven’t tried them with thermals, that will help.Anyway, they’re super warm, I’m sitting here inside with them on and they’re too hot to keep on. They’re very clearly made of a water resistant material, like most snow pants I had growing up. The bottoms are large, but you can tuck them in boots or you can fold them and cuff it to make them tight. Inside on the bottom of the leg, there is a separate tight stretch piece (pictured). That’s kind of cool, let’s you cuff the big part and still have that section to tuck in boots or let rest on top.I like them, they’re really nice, just don’t size up unless you’re going to be wearing a ton of stuff inside and using a belt/suspenders.

Finally, a pair that work, Sizing chart is jacked up. Sent 2 pairs back. Besides that, seem too well-made and warm and should work well when you don't need a full blown snow outfit.

Love my snow pants! Light weight and breathes so you're not stuck inside sweaty pants. Perfect for cold, and/or snowy, outdoor activities. True to size.

The sizing chart is terrible, they need to work on their sizing that’s actually on the website. I picked what I thought would be 34 in the waist and when I get the pants it’s a 32-34W* 32L, whatever that means. It’s giving 32 inches in the waist. I am a 5 foot 3 woman about 167lbs, I need a 34x32 in my pants. The length is good, and the pants kept me warm. BUT the inseam in the thighs are extremely to tight for any movement fr, all I was doing was walking and wasn’t much flexibility. I have work pants and want to put them under , I would need to probably size up from the original size I would actually need due to the inner thigh and butt part being so tight. I almost ripped them doing a squat. I’m giving them 3 starts just because they kept me warm during this snow storm we just had and I put a pair of my army waffles on up under them since I can’t wear pants under since they’re so tight. They kept me warm even when I didn’t have anything under them. Pockets are short and super tight.

We spent an entire day out in the snow. warm at all times. They fit well and he didn't have any issues with them. He said they were comfortable. He recommends.

I live where the temperature can get to the -40 ( I think that’s the same in both F And C) . These are in the ‘Goldilocks zone’ , the fit was just right, the warmth & feel was just right and the cost was just right. Enough said!

Me encanto! Soy talla 30:30 y el S me quedó pintado. Buena calidad y moderno

Product seems well made. Stitching looks solid - was concerned about other reviews on this. Bought the men's as my measurements are awkward to buy for in the women's. (waist 44.5", Hip 47") Just a little large still once i had thermals and waterproof hiking pants under them, but was able to reduce the waist with the velcro adjusters, and they have belt loops if i need a belt. the short leg length was perfect for me being 5'7". If you weren't wearing layers under, definitely need an XL instead. Can't remember if it mentioned in the info, but it's labelled 5000 waterproof, so not greatd but should be fine for a dryer snow environment.

El título decía chamarra, pero bueno es un pantalón térmico que está genial, los detalles, el color, el diseño, todo está bien, me quedó exacto, yo siempre compro talla chica y este pantalón ajusta perfecto a mi cintura (30,31)

Bonne qualités , épais 👍🏼 / 1m77 - 90kilos = L trop grand 😖 Heureusement que l’on peut mettre une ceinture. Petit problème la poche droite était cousu j’ai du ouvrir l’intérieur pour couper le 🧶 et maintenant ça va
