Why We Like The Outdoor Research Trailbreaker Tour Pant
Outdoor Research recognizes that we don't spend as much time on our seats in the backcountry, so they crafted Trailbreaker Tour Pant with zonal waterproofing and stretch to better match our touring needs. The upper zone of the pant is made with a stretchy double-weave to enhance breathability and movement during our skin track ascents. The lower half features mechanical stretch fabric and Ventia waterproof tech, keeping the snow on the side of the track and the powder we'll eventually glide through off our baselayers, boots, and socks.

Great snow pants
Pants are as advertised in their mobility. Fit is larger/longer than expected. Almost baggy. Good water repellent though not water proof - got cold+wet sitting on the snow for a bit, so just won't do that again.

Excellent backcountry pant
This pant adds a hard face to the 'below the knee' area which is more often in contact with snow and harder to dry out with body heat due to ski boots making a barrier. Doing so allows a bit more weatherproofing where need but maintains the freedom of movement by keeping the soft shell in the things and butt. The body areas covered by the soft shell are usually better at pushing the moisture out and keeps the soft shell dry, in my experience. I've logged only about 10-15 days so far - mostly backcountry but a resort day today. But I've used the full soft shell version of pant this pant for 7+ years, never thought I would want any change until I saw this pant. Very happy so far!

Just what I was looking for!
I'm 6'2", 200lbs, 33" inseam, 35" waist. I bought a size Large and they fit perfectly. I bought these for winter fat biking because of the listed durability and breathability. I didn't care too much about warmth because I layer for conditions. Took them for a ride the day after they arrived. These are easy to put on and the adjustable waste is great when base layers start to take up space. These were SUPER comfortable in the saddle. The mildly articulated knees are great for pedaling. I took a couple of spills into drifts and never got cold or wet. Snow stayed out of my boots despite there not being a gaiter hook to attach to the boots.

Warm Pants
I dig all the pockets on these pants, and the zipper vents that zip in both directions. They are perhaps a little on the warm side for touring, I can see myself getting overheated in the spring in these. My favorite feature is the little mesh compartment in the hip pocket, I usually stash my car keys in it. Very nice elastic on the cuffs, helps keep the lever up on my older AT boots when climbing.

Awesome ski/snowboard pants
Former competitive skier; have worn a few days in Lake Tahoe early season (mid-20s/30s and sunny). Very pleased. Fit great (5'11 / 190 athletic build - large is perfect). Paired with a light base layer- plenty warm. Highly recommend.

Daily ski touring pant
I use these as my primary ski touring pant for winter in CO. They have great stretch and they are water resistant enough for daily use. Great vents and pockets. I think I am on my 4th pair!

Zipper Issue
Overall great product, except for a blown vent zipper after four half days of skiing. Leg vent doesn't stay zipped, pulls apart easily. Not a fit issue, plenty of legroom in the fit. Other than the zipper, great pants, great features. Don't know which channel to use to contact OR about this, or what their policy about ExpertVoice purchases says...

Wildly comfortable touring pants
I've been a huge fan of these pants for touring and spring resort skiing. They are the most comfortable ski pants I've ever had, have great pockets, and are as weather resistant as advertised. They've shed some light rain and snow but I'd go for a full hard shell if I expected weather. Run a bit longer than most pants, but the scuff guards seem burly enough that it shouldn't be an issue. I'd strongly recommend.
