ARCTIXMen's Men's Essential Snow Pants Snow Pants

There are a lot of reviews for this that say these snowpants are too small or too large. It appears that many clothing reviews on Amazon have a similar sizing feedback distribution, a nice bell curve. This was the case for all snowpants reviews I looked at.What I also learned was that the reason for this is the inaccuracies in all clothing sizes used by all manufactures. I am a guy and thought pants sizes were simple and accurate, not so! I wear a size 32 pants, some fit a little big, some a little tight but most just right with no belt. When measuring my waist size it is actually 34 inches! Trying on 34 jeans and they fall right to the floor without touching me.So when looking at snowpants I found a small footnote that is likely the cause for many size problems. When you put your size into the charts supplied, such as Arctix does for these snowpants, use your actual measurement! In this case I am right on the line between the medium and large and went with the medium. The size fits me great, a little loose with just long underwear and a little snug with heavy jeans on. When I say snug I mean similar to relaxed fit jeans. I can still move around, shovel snow and sit on an AYV seat with no discomfort but they don't fall down without a belt.So, I would consider the size selection to be a success, if I was going to be really active and say snowshoe in these I would not wear jeans and feel totally free but am just fine with jeans underneath when working on a vehicle etc. Length was great too, my normal jeans inseam is 30 or 32 depending on brand so I bought short (30) which is plenty generous but not walking on them in stocking feet and a couple inches off floor with boots on.One note, the waist fastener is not a snap as appears in the photo, it is a pair of hooks like dress pants but heavy duty and includes a Velcro flap on the inside as well. The ankle fasteners are snaps and seem like they will be fine. The front pockets have decent zippers. another note about the pockets, they are lines with a soft fabric and are great to put your bare hands in. Unfortunately the pockets are quite short, big enough to hold a full size smart phone and zip them closed but that is all, wish they were about twice as tall.Finally, insulation is what I would call medium weight compared to all the other snow pants we have around home. They are heavier than an ultralight kids snowpants and lighter than a high end snowmobile bibs. Overall a great product, would buy them again.

I'm outside a lot, like exceptionally out in the weather. My tractor doesn't have a cab, but I built it a roof, these pants keep me dry and warm. Sometimes I wear sweat pants and long John's under when it's around 25 degrees. Only moisture I get is from sweat. Without these, I rely on cycling through 3 sets of clothes that eventually get saturated from rain/ snow, even if I'm still warm, if I stop moving around being soaked gets cold fast and is only solved by putting everything in the dryer. Sometimes only after hanging to drip so it dont break the dryer, things get over saturated and heavy. I wish I had bought these long time ago

Bought size medium/30, as I’m 32” waist.Pants are adjustable on the waist, but even with full adjustment, it feels big on the waist. Inseam size was perfect.Pants are very warm and feel like they are made of durable fabric.

These pants do everything as advertised. Very warm & stay dry. I used them a lot to shovel snow in boston & for cold dog walks. Threw them on over my pants. Couple things to be aware of: these insulate very well so much in fact though that condensation is almost instantaneous in the pockets so best not keep your phone in the pocket as it will come out damp with ‘pocket-dew’ within minutes. Another nitpick is more pockets would be better as it only has 2 but well worth the money imo

Size small is too small for a 32 waist. Had to return product
