Guess I'll have to ask this question about all ski pants, but...... Where does the waist fall? Are they low, mid, or high-rise?

They seem to fall at your natural waist which feels a little high but is still very comfortable. I'd be afraid that a lower rise would make you more prone to get snow someplace you don't want it.

Yes. They are slightly lighter than denim jeans, but warmer than traditional cargo/hiking pants. (If in doubt, take a pair of footless tights - but unless it gets into the sub-freezing temps, I don't think you'd need any under layer. )

Probably. I've noticed that these diapers seem "short" - they don't go as high on the waist as they should.

Hi Peter, Can't answer that for you. Myself, I am a 33 waist by 34 Long. My order was Medium in waist and 34 Long. I believe their is enough waist play after me wearing mine with the elastic waist band to help give you the comfort you need. These are my second pair and I really like them for comfort and hiking.

I've done pretty intense exercise in these pants (plyometrics, running) and so far the inside band in the pants have not slid down while exercising. However, I've only had the pants for a couple months. Who knows what will happen after multiple uses/washes... With that being said, an inside band that starts to get loose could also be a sign that you're losing inches from the waist!

They do fit below the waist, not super low though. I think it's a nice comfortable fit.

Depends on how cold you're talking about. The material is slightly thicker than most of the other hiking pants I own and does keep heat in a little better but I wouldn't wear it for sub-zero temperatures hiking either without a base layer. The legs will have room for a base layer but both pairs I had were tight around the crotch region so if you are thinking of cotton long johns or smart wool that's not cut well, it may ride up a bit. Compression shorts/leggings will probably work ok though.

I am a mom, 5'6" in stature & wear my Patagonia wool long johns under this article. I was dry & warm while skiing out west last spring! Enjoy!

These set on the waist you could push them down on the hips. They are nice and streachy so you could do what you want. Hope that helps, Helen West

Not sure about the top, but the bottoms blew out (inseam) in a matter of minutes on a fork lift. Like I said in my review, if you are just standing up and not stretching the pants, they should ok. The pants have a very weak seam. Any suit like this, the seams usually blow out in the pants. Go to FrogTogs and check them out, as that is what I eventually bought (motorcycle suit). A little pricy, but you get what you pay for.

Some of the NIKE 2.0 work out pants have hidden pockets in the back of the waistband. The only other way I know is, with a saftey pen. There is no other way I see.

I personally never wear jeans with ski/snowboard pants because jeans don't breathe well. However, if the jeans were thin, then I think you could. I tend to wear thermals/long underwear under my ski pants.

I tried with jeans is alright. Insulated pants will be quite tight. Btw the size indicated here is bigger den usual. I order US 10 ended return n change to US 9. Im wearing a US 10 north face hiking boots size. Hope this help

Pants don't sag and they don't slide off. However, you have to be careful removing pants -- if you jerk or drag them downward the hanger WILL break. Lift them off and you're fine.

I wouldn't recommend getting the leg warmers. After a couple of uses they start to slide down. I strongly suggest looking into long pants, much better, but I would recommend getting an extra large in pants or leg warmers, if you go that way

They are a very relaxed fit. I would say they are more like snowboarding pants, with a loose fit through the legs. however, they are still comfortable and suitable for skiing or snowboarding.
