United StatesI purchased a model of these pants in the spring of 2023. I have used them 10 times. I LOVE the idea and they are warm. However, the waist band is a BIG problem. After a few uses, the waist band no longer stayed snug. There is no way to tighten up the waist bank or elastic that is strong enough to keep the waist bank fitted. When I used the pants, yesterday to alpine ski in (under my gortex pants), the pant due to its lack of a true fitted waist band, slipped down below my waist. It was super uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I have decided there is no way to amend this pant and make it fitted to my waist. Therefore, I have looked to another company that makes the same type of pant that has a fitted waist band that can be adjusted and Strafe figures out a way to keep the waist band fitted after a few uses.
United StatesI agree with the other lady shredders here. These are warm, comfortable and great under hardshell pants/bibs.. (I have not had the wait band stretch out yet.) But it is mind boggling that the zipper only opens from the bottom up. Utterly impractical for going to bathroom. I usually wear a size 8 in pants and the Medium is snug. Great once I have it on and I don't think it will fall down even if the waist band eventually stretches out. But getting them over my hips is a workout. I am worried I may rip the zipper. Please redesign these! I would buy another pair once the design issues are fixed.
