I'm very impressed with the quality of these insulated snow pants. As someone who is an avid skier who can be a bit snobby with using the top notch brand names for my winter gear, I can honestly say that I'm really pleased with how warm these Whitestorm Elite snow pants are! While it has not yet been the usual single digits yet, I could feel how well they held in body heat the moment I put them on. The quality of the stitching, seams, and zippers was also impressive. I've had big name brand snow pants lose buttons and zippers before, and I can already tell that these are robust seams and zippers used for these pants, so they seem like they're going to last! They have a good shape and fit to them, and I especially like that they open up at the bottoms so that you can zip them around your boots for a good fit. Another feature I liked about these pants are that the pocket zippers all zip DOWN which are very helpful for when you're wearing mittens, and also helpful if you're into winter sports where your zipper could be tugged on-- you don't want it opening up unexpectedly! Part of me does wish they had pockets in the back on the butt, but honestly, I can also see the lack of pockets helping with the overall insulation, so perhaps they're warmer as a result of that design... Either way, these are a great design, and they're definitely going to keep you warm and dry during the worst winter weather.
