Kr3w All Weather Denim K-Slims: Fits over ski boots?

For all those tight pant wearing skiers out there:
Has anyone tried the new Kr3w K-Slims that are fleece lined, wax covered, all-weather denim? They have a 3 inch zipper at the bottom to accommodate snowboard boots, but will they fit over ski boots?

They should. Because the zipper is meant to open to get the pant over the boot, then close it and bam there you go. So none the less, you should for sure be able to get them over your boot.

Yeah I know they should fit over ski boots but that doesn't exactly mean they will. Has anyone actually tried it?

Honestly,
your better off getting snow pants you like, then get them professionally tailored so they will fit YOU and YOUR boots perfectly.

or find a pair of very skinny snow pants, go to a more snowboard/skate oriented store, they'll have some

Yeah I actually have a pair of skinny sessions pants that are great but I like K-Slims cause they are comfortable/flexy and these new K-Slims are weatherproofed which makes them even more attractive. I have yet to see them in person, but they look sweet and they are not that expensive (130).
Still though, has anyone tried to put them over ski boots?

I always thought skiing in jeans makes you look like a complete gaper. Check out Holden Outerwear. They make some slim stuff.

Yo dog skiing in jeans is no bueno. If you're looking for tight snowpants look into holden or orage for next year. Or just do it the old fashioned way and sew them in on your own, skiers look better with baggier thighs and super tight right under the knee. Slim pants made for snowboarders often don't look just right

Yeah I cant really blame you on the wearing jeans probably is not that comfortable, but these are fleece lined and they look sick. At the same time I know what you mean by they look better tight below the knee. Max Hill and Blake Nyman both wear the skinnies that seem to be more that style, tighter below the knee. The orage rep I know told me they are coming out with skinnies but I have not heard anything about them besides from him. Who knows if they actually exist haha, but yeah I am leaning towards sewing my old pants in. Holden's pants are not quite that skinny either, Ive got Sessions skinnies but I think they are skinnier than Holden stuff. (don't get me wrong though, Holden makes dope stuff)

Yeah i've seen the new orages in person and they are skinny throughout. I would def just save the money and sew in your old pants, or find some pants that are on sale and sew them in. I had a pair of size L foursquares that i sewed in on my own and they fit WAY better than any skinny snowpant i've ever tried on.

Exactly^
because you can sew them to your exact size so they fit perfect for YOU not An "average" size

I had the holden skinnys... I went through like 3 pairs just because the fabric is not flexible at all and if your legs spread on a fall or anything the inside of the legs tear. Not trying to rip on holden because the pants are super sick... Theyre just a snowbaord pant and dont offer much flexiblilty!
