I'm giving this three stars simply because the sizing is really not right. The Large (according to their marketing) is for a 36-38 waist (in US measurements). I'm barely a 36, having been a 34 most all my life, but I couldn't get them above mid-thigh. I tried to return for an XL but they don't appear to have those in stock in any decent color at the moment.

Sizing aside, I really DID like the look of the pants. They appear well-made for the task at hand (skiiing, in my case) and I was looking forward to wearing them on my ski trip next week. My only advice is to go up one size from whatever you think you need.
