“When I saw the Ororo ski pants, I was a bit skeptical that they would be a good technical ski pant. But, I love my Ororo vest and gloves. So I thought I would give the ski pants a try. I have skied with them the last two days in freezing, windy, snowy conditions and they were great. I was worried about not having heating on the back side of the legs. But, it was not a problem. The heating on the front thighs ends up heating the whole leg. The pants have some insulation, but they are not a bulky as other insulated pants. And the material stretches a bit so they work nice for skiing. I had one pair of long underwear underneath and my legs were warm, dry, and comfortable throughout the cold day. I would just put them on the low (white) setting when needed. The low setting seemed enough that my legs were warm in freezing windy conditions. I think I put it on medium (blue) for about 10 minutes on one super windy chairlift ride. But other than that, the white was plenty. I definitely recommend these pants..”
