[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a huge fan of Columbia’s Titanium gear, and was in the market for a new pair of snow pants for my wife and I for skiing, so I found these snow pants on sale and thought I hit the jackpot! Unfortunately, after our first trip out my wife noticed the stitching attaching the inside Omni-tech liner to the crotch zipper area failing, leaving a hole approx. 4 inches long where the insulation was visible and coming out. I though maybe it was a fluke and she just got a bad pair or something, but after our second trip out for the season, the stitching on my pair tore a hole in the exact same spot! Only giving 2 stars because the pants are very warm, comfortable, and waterproof, but the quality control is a huge issue. Poor quality on the stitching, very disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a 33/34 so I bought the M but way too tight, so I returned them and bought the L, way too loose. Consistent sizing seems to be an issue. Quality is great so I am looking forward to finding the right size. Ordered M again to compare.
