Replying to Best ski pants (I prefer Helly Hansen)
Hi --
I'm trying to find the best pair of ski pants for me this winter. I would prefer something Helly Hansen, but would be open to anything.
I want something for touring in the Utah backcountry, but with a new school fit (not ridiculously large, but not tight like most stuff from Mtn Hardwear & the like). I prefer a cargo pant or something with extra pockets, and lots of inside-thigh venting.
I would prefer something that isn't insulated, but instead is made with a really good material like black-tag gore tex or eVent or something.
Also -- I need it to be a bright color (like green or blue or red or yellow). I have a charcoal jacket, and in the backcountry you need at least one half of your outfit to be bright so you can be found easily.
I have some Salomon pants right now that are the right fit & are black-tag gore tex and I love them...but they are light gray and I need something bright.
Thoughts?
