Mountain Hardwear Women's Returnia Insulated Pants

A very nice basic snow pant
April 09, 2012

I've been very happy with these pants, but I also admit that they weren't exactly what I was expecting. They are a very basic snow pant. The cuffs are elastic and do not have a zipper or snap to get around snowboarding / ski boots. There are two basic pockets on the waste, which fits relatively tightly (although comfortably) so there isn't a lot of room to stow stuff. This winter has been pretty mild so I haven't had a chance to really test them, but so far they have been very warm, comfortable, and I'm dry at the end of the day. I would definitely recommend these pants, but if your looking for something a bit more technical, and stylish you'll surely be disappointed.

Great Snow Pants

The pants are truly waterproof. I sat in powder for 15 minutes to test the quality, and there was no seepage. They are a bit baggy and very long. I am 5' 1" and 110 lbs. I bought the Small, and they are pretty big. I am going to get them altered since the pricing was great on Altrec. They are not the cutest pants, but I have cute snow pants, and they failed on a wet, snowy day. So, these will be my new go-to pants on tough weather days!
