Saw a few young men wearing this style. Rather strange.

I would snowboard like this - weight gain has made it hard to squeeze into my usual pants with protective gear underneath!!

It isn't just the unknown brands, Burton has a bunch like that this year too, marketed as unisex fit. The Futuretrust, Mine77 and Daybeacon are all super baggy. And although not baggy, the unisex Melter and the women's Analog Hedstall have the gathered ankle reminiscent of the 90's pants.

It might NOT be the most flattering style for my body type, but I find the current wide leg trend very comfortable in street and lounge clothes, so why not ski pants I guess.

 

[diymom]

It might be comfy, but I'm sitting here trying to imagine the sound all the fabric would make walking and flapping around while skiing.

 

[VickiK]

@diymom there's that, yes. I'd be annoyed if it's too loud.

You can hear them coming!

That's only got to be a good thing if it's a snowboarder...right?

The style seems to be most popular with people who spend a lot of time in parks. Skiers, snowboarders, it doesn't matter what the equipment is. I often see (and hear) the baggy pants people doing tricks on crowded trails.

Any recommendations for particularly warm insulated pants? Either regular ski pants or more like insulated leggings. This is really for dog walking etc in a cold snowy climate.

The ski pants I got from Nobody's Princess are the warmest pants I've ever had. Although what I really appreciate is the ability to get pants that actually fit me (length, adjustable waist). Plus all the pockets.

I haven't worn them yet, but I just picked up a pair of TNF circaloft pants on Sierra. I thought they'd be good to quickly throw on over leggings for more warmth and wind blocking to take the dogs out or shovel, but also light weight to toss into my bootbag to go under shell pants for those spring days that start chilly.

For a single layer, I have a pair of LL Bean polartech powerstretch tights from several years ago. Remarkably cozy and wind blocking. I don't see them currently, but there is a polartech thermastretch tight or something like that, which might be an updated version.

I wish I could try them on. They have my usual size on clearance for only $94; a couple of the measurements for the size are spot on but others are wildly off.

People seem to love the PrimaLoft Thermastretch fleece--the reviews are great. Thanks.

These are great! I wear them around town in Taos -- they're amazingly warm and comfy: Women's Flexpedition Lined Straight Leg Pants from Duluth Trading. Not cheap, but well worth it, and they hold up, like all of Duluth's stuff does. And they're on sale right now (I only buy from Duluth when there are sales, LOL!).

Did you look at both styles? I started with the original style, but the newer (Zali?) fits my shape much better.

 

[Christy]

I did.

These sound good. It's nice that you can pick an inseam. I tend to believe that a company bearing the name 'Duluth' would know what's what in cold weather clothing.

The LL Bean PrimaLoft Thermastretch fleece tights are leggings/tights vs pants, but that's ok. Great reviews & rating.

How about just wool leggings/base layer under a pair of joggers?

I have two pairs of Patagonia fleece lined leggings that I've worn snowshoeing in Tahoe.... These look good too

They may get more styles in as the season progresses. The previous version came in both the leggings/ tights and more of a pant/ yoga pant style. That's what I have. They fit snug through the calf like the tights, but then are straight to the ankle. Still a slim fit below the calf, but just wide enough to go over the tops of booties instead of in.
