Ripped on the first wear

a month ago
I would not recommend these as a base layer for snow sports. Originally was hoping to use these for yoga, walks, and for snowboarding. On the first wear, a giant hole ripped in the rear of the pants. I have had plenty of other brand leggings last many years. This is definitely not a premium product, I would avoid this one.

Wore out super quickly, wouldn't recommend

2 months ago
Purchased for skiing and alpine climbs. They fit true to size and were effectively warm and comfortable. However, they began to wear out and ripped after fewer than two seasons in them, which totaled all of about 12 uses. I submitted a claim but was told this is expected "wear and tear" and is not covered by the warranty. Meanwhile, I've had similar layers of the same material from other outfitters for 5+ years with no concerns. Overall, extremely disappointing experience compared to the other Arc'Teryx gear I've had and the customer service and quality guarantee they're supposed to be known for. Not worth the price by a long shot.

No, I do not recommend this product.

So comfy!

These are the best base layer bottoms I've purchased in a long time! Definitely getting a second pair in the near future. They feel comfy like lulu and keep you warm, but not TOO warm.

LOVE THESE, minus the weird pocket.

5 months ago
I love these bottoms, I have 3 pairs! I use them primarily as a base layer while backcountry skiing but I do have one question: what's with the pocket? If there was no pocket these would be perfect. The description says "for a smartphone" idk why you want a smartphone inside a base layer where you can't reach it without taking off the top layer? The pocket material is not stretchy so to have a piece of non-stretchy fabric sewn into an extremely stretchy material makes for some weird pulling.
