Arctix Womens Snow Sports Insulated Cargo Pants

PRICE AND PURPOSE: For the price these are great and I was looking at other name brand snow pants for $257.00 - and took them back after ordering these as these were very comparable and basically the same - so so glad I found these at this price as saved so much money! I purchased to walk dog and blow snow in cold michigan weather. Tested out so far in 30 degree weather, and a nasty west wind - these pants kept me perfectly warm. FIT/SIZE: I am a size 10 in pants/pear shape and ordered the large vs medium as I wanted to slip these over pants I was wearing - leggings, jeans, fleece sweats - large was a good choice - fits a bit big but I prefer that and the medium would probably be tight over jeans (medium probably would be just right for my size with leggings only). These snow pants fit also high enough at waist where the cold air doesn't get under my coat - a huge plus in cold Michigan winters - nothing worse than feeling cold air on your back when your bending over with windshields that get down to 10 degrees or less in michigan! They are secured with a zipper, two snaps, and Velcro (so certainly won't slip off while moving) and loved the front leg pocket to put my phone in. They also don't make much swooshing noises (which I liked) like many snow pants do when walking - but they do make some noise. LENGTH: Only issue I have is I'm 5'3 and these are too long on me - wish they were shorter (not looking like I can get shortened because of bottom feature of pant has an interior elastic banded leg feature that fits inside the bottom of the actual outside leg - nice feature to keep snow out of the snow pants). However, I have to "rig" them up with the top of my boot tongues so they don't drag in the snow, slush, or slop of winter - so I found this very annoying....wish they had length options! Overall, love them and would recommend for those who want to stay warm without much "style" as they are slightly bulky but I expected that for the price and don't mind it. If your looking for style...probably need to pay the price for spyders brand. Bottom line to all - I would definately buy these again and highly recommend them. Read more

I am 4'11, 110 lbs, with pretty short legs and torso. I expected that an x-small would fit me perfectly but I ordered a size small in these pants because I wanted to be able to have room under to layer a bit. They just came and the waist come way up above my bellybutton. The hips are kinda large along with the waist. A belt seems to be holding it in place right now. I think I'm going to exchange for the extra small. Besides the fit I actually like the pants. They're very thick and warm and the 4 pockets are great (you know us girls aren't used to good sized pockets on jeans -__-). I really like these pants and I'm excited to use them for mid-January Catskill weather! I'll update this review on their performance then. UPDATE: I returned the small and got an x-small instead. This was a great idea for me because the waist fits a lot snugger, they're shorter, and the hips fir perfect. Although it's a smaller and more perfect fit, I still had no problems layering underneath. I was able to wear thermal leggings and thin sweatpants under. In terms of quality, these are absolutely great. I was outside for several hours at a time in teens weather and snow. With my layering, I was never cold; actually, I started sweating a bit with all the moving around. The pockets are all a great size. They're easily washable. My only slight issue was that the snaps in the front undid themselves very easily; and once they did, so did the zipper. I had to wear a belt because anytime I sat down or bent over the snaps popped right open. But it wasn't a huge deal because I had so many layers on top that my sweaters held the pants up anyway. Overall, I'm really really happy with my purchase. This is great quality for a great price and it's great to know I got these for $30 and change while other paid $60-$80 for the same quality with other brands. I can't wait to have a chance to use them again and I HIGHLY recommend these for anyone looking for a warm, waterproof, comfortable pair of snow pants. Read more

These are comfortable, warm and I can do a squat in them. But they run small so order a size or 2 up and there is a little fraying on the bottom even before I opened the package. Read more

fitting was good. quality was very decent and keeps warm. the outer layer is waterproof Read more

The legs look a bit baggy on my slim legs bug these seem warm. They are a pretty straight cut, not big bell bottoms or curved thigh. The high waist fits comfortably on me at 5’8” and 125 lbs the sz 8-10 is perfect. The lux waist is snaps and this waist is hooks and velcro. I might remove the velcro because it snags knit gloves. Even the leg length seems good which isn’t something you hear from me very often. I purchased a lux brand of ski pants and the gaiter inside that one is longer (better) but on every other issue this pair is better! The zippered pockets have a small but nice zipper flap and the lux ones don’t. These have two usefully deep cargo pant pockets with velcro flaps; the lux ones don’t! These feel heavier which may be an issue to some but are cozy to me. The knees feel fine. The protective patch and the ankles offers an extra layer of protection from crampons or snowshoes. With the adjustable waist I can fit pants under or on a warmer day maybe wear thin leggings under them and not worry about fit. Just cinch the waist. It’s cold out (and therefore inside too here in the mountains) and these are warm and comfortable! No waist issues or other discomfort. I will add to the review once these get out to snow test. So far, for the money, this pair seems excellent. Read more

These are ok quality and warm, however sizing is an issue. I ordered a large and they fit fine in length but the waist is huge. There is NO good way to adjust the waist. They contain two small sections of velcro but they are so small they do nothing to adjust the size. In addition, the velcro does not stick well. I will end up sewing them shut. They are also not as water repellent as I think snowpants should be. I would not reorder them. Read more
