DC Shoe Co. Mens Banshee Pants 2009

Overall

If you get these half price buy for sure however for full price only get them if you will take care of them, I can be pretty careless and I assume a bunch of other skiers are too.

Performance

They were great for shredding around the park and pow although on some bigger crashes off jumps they have caught snow inside of them. They are super warm, plenty of dead air to keep you toasty.Overall Performance: 10/10

Design

I really like the design of the pants, it has plenty of pocket room to keep stuff in. I always have my car keys, wallet, ipod and mouthguard case in them and I still have plenty of room to keep food in them. It has magnetic flaps over the two top pockets which has definitely kept my ipod dry numerous times. They don't come with overalls but instead they have an extension that kind of acts as a powder belt, it can be tightened enough to keep your pants up without using the waste at all and has not loosened on my yet although sometimes it can be uncomfortable. Overall Design: 9/10

Value

I got mine on sale for $60, at this price these pants are a steal. At $120 regular though I'm not sure I would get them, I'm more for saving up and getting something indestructible. Overall Value: 7/10

Fit

The fit is pretty good, I got larges and I am 5' 11. I am pretty thin so the waste of the actual pants is way to big but I use the powder strap to keep them up. They are really baggy and super loose, not tight at all. Super nice to low ride and still gives you movement. The only problem with the fit is since they are snowboard pants they tend to sit really far over your boots and I have caught them in my bindings a lot.Overall fit: 9/10

Durability

These pants are fraying madly around the bottom, this is partially my fault though since I forgot to roll them up sometimes while walking to and from the car. They are tearing around the crotch too which is a bit of a bummer. Besides that they are holding up fairly well.Overall Durability: 6/10
