Love these pants! I usually wear a size 10, but the 10 was very tight, and I wanted to be able to wear a baselayer underneath on cold ski days, so I went up to a 12 which fits well. I've worn these several time since buying them, and they keep me warm and dry. The fabric keeps most would-be stains from sinking in, so they're not too difficult to keep clean. They are more low-cut than traditional ski pants, which makes them trendier, but be sure to have a powder skirt with your jacket, or your back might get exposed when you fall. I would definitely recommend these, they're great. The reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 from me is because they were not as slimming as they seemed in the picture.
