I'm a Pants Slut!

[mustski]

Yeay! Colors?

One pair is a deep berry color and the other is sea foam.

I'm finding medium pants too tight and large ones too lose around the waist. And at 5'2 I need short.
The ski pants have belt loops, do people wear belts with their ski pants???

Got some beautiful ones in the perfect colour that are quite pretty but a bit gappy around the waist. But tight on the tush....

Ideas??

 

[kiki]

Amd here as an example, two different brands mind you, but one is medium (way too small). And large (too big) with at least a 3-4 inch differential in the waists!

What gorgeous colors! Yes, people do use belts! If those little Velcro flaps that are on the waistline don't do the trick.

Freeskier mag had these Strafe pants............

Ok so I ordered the Grey Strafe Belle pant from Moosejaw w/ 20% off as well as a pair of Roxy soft-shell pants (very similar to the soft shells DD has now taken possession of). They came today and I ended up keeping the Roxy.

I really liked the Strafe pants, its just the grey was pretty neutral. A nice grey but would have to get a brighter jacket to be visible in the trees etc. Pants were interesting, very soft material, very flattering and has an inside liner that is the "polar fleece." Would be warm. My other problem was that for right now, I would be on the tighter end of small. Would work, but would need a very thin base layer. Wasn't really needing an aspirational pair of $400 pants. But if I do find a pair in a brighter color at 50% I'd probably purchase

Now on to the important question: Should I buy turquoise or coral? Pants that I do not need in any way whatsoever, BTW. Jacket is purple with hot pink lining and orange-ish zippers. I think coral.

I have the olive ones in my cart now. I do not need them either, but damn, that price is cheap. I love the turquoise.

 

[CrystalRose]

I love a cool color palette. Purple, Blue, Green, Aqua, etc.

Butttt..... you said your jacket has warm colors too with the Orange and Hot Pink...

Coral would stand out more if that's a concern for you.

I personally would choose Aqua, but because you said Coral you should go with your first mind. Also this jacket is Purple and Coral and I think it works.

 

[newboots]

You all are wonderful enablers!

Thanks! I do think that with orange and pink accents in my jacket (pink lining) the coral would be better. Now to decide if there’s any reason to buy it!

 

[Blondeinabmw]

Reason? They are $79. Originally like $299. I bought the last pair of olive in my size!

 

[VickiK]

If that coral were redder, I'd get it. Here's another TJMaxx deal:

[socalgal]

Oh my! What a deal!

 

[newboots]

Okay, if I'm getting these just for the hell of it, I'm getting the color I want. Aqua. Done. I also got an expedition-weight quarter-zip by Avalanche for $15. Early Christmas!

I think coral

I think coral

Too late! But for that price, maybe I should get the coral, too!

 

[Tvan]

Too late! But for that price, maybe I should get the coral, too!

My thoughts exactly!

 

[newboots]

My thoughts exactly!

Well, I only got the aqua. These pants are beauties! Make my roomy Marmots look baggy, like a 19-year-old male snowboarder’s. I can’t wear them in this frigid weather, but they fit well with my regular baselayer. And they really work with my jacket!



This is going to be fun!

This is like a gateway drug to becoming a ski gear junkie!! Says the woman with four ski jackets in VT!

 

[ski diva]

Got a new pair of pants today, so I thought I'd jump start this thread.

They're made by Sunice, and I have a blue jacket that goes with them perfectly!

 

[mustski]

Those are beautiful!
