Uses

Everyday warmth from fall through winter

These soft-shell pants are made for daily cold-weather wear, with windproof stretch fabric and a moisture-wicking fleece underside that keeps you warm without weighing you down. In a review summary, customers described the soft-lined fabric as comfortable and warm enough for all-winter use.[1]

For cold-weather sports from fall into winter

These soft insulating pants are made for keeping an active lifestyle going as fall turns to winter. Reviewers report wearing them for cold-weather sports like curling, skating, and cross-country skiing, saying the high-waisted stretch and water resistance let them move without bulk.[1]

Layering over thermal base layers

These soft-shell pants have a roomier cut through the waist and hips that makes them easy to pull on over thermal underwear, adding winter versatility. Note that some reviewers find the extra room great for layering, while others report the waist gaps.[1]

Office and casual wear, with a sizing heads-up

Soft-shell pants meant to work for office days or casual outfits without needing a belt. Based on customer reviews, the waistband runs large relative to the rest of the pant, so smaller-waisted wearers may find it gaps — reviewers suggest sizing down or adding a belt for a secure fit.[1]

Utility Soft-Shell Pant: Choose this if you want a warm, soft-shell pant for active fall-to-winter wear: it combines a windproof, stretchy recycled nylon shell with a moisture-wicking plaid polar fleece underside, a durable Teflon EcoElite water-repellent finish, and four zip pockets. Reviewers report the soft-lined fabric keeps them warm all winter and the stretch and water resistance suit cold-weather sports like curling, skating, and XC skiing, with the roomier cut making layering over base layers easier. Note that the waist runs large, so smaller-waisted wearers may need to size down or use the adjustable belt, the inseam runs long enough that petite heights may need hemming or taller boots, and some reviewers found the waist closure hardware fragile or awkward to fasten.[1]Straight-Leg Cargo Pant: Choose this if you want a durable, high-waisted pant for work, job sites, or everyday wear: the abrasion-resistant, semi-stretch fabric (50% polyester, 50% reprocessed polyester) is described by customers as virtually indestructible for tough tasks, and reviewers report a true-to-size straight-leg fit that stays comfortable all day. The wide elastic high-rise waistband, no buttons or zippers for quick pull-on, and Polygiene odor- and bacteria-control treatment suit long days, while thigh cargo pockets add storage. Note that one reviewer found the stitched-down cargo pocket corners slow to open, and the Black colorway is not listed in X-SMALL.[2,3]Stretch Weave Parachute Pant: Choose this if you want a lightweight, stretchy parachute-style pant made from 86% reprocessed polyester with 14% spandex, in black, with a wide elastic gathered waistband, slant front pockets, an in-seam zip pocket, articulated knees, and adjustable ankles with a toggle cord. It's an i.FiV5 by Simons exclusive designed in Canada, featuring Polygiene® technology stated to eliminate odour and prevent bacterial growth, with a 30.5 inch (78 cm) inseam in X-Small and Small. Note that no drawcord is visible on the waistband, so it relies on the elastic stretch alone.[4,5]

Pratiquement Parfait!

★★★★★Louise C.

Pantalon d'hiver doublé que je porterai sûrement tout l'hiver (je l'ai acheté dans ses 2 couleurs) pour me garder au chaud. Coupe un peu ample!

Great gear

★★★★★Michelle d.

I bought these pants for curling but they will be great for skating and Xc skiing too. They are high waisted, stretchy enough to curl but also warm and water resistant. I like the colour, I got the brown, it’s a nice change from black.

Sport

★★★★★Annie F.

Large et je porte du 14 ans , je suis satisfaite du produit.

Bon achat.

★★★★★Thuy L.

Tissu et coupe confortable. Seulement que la taille (le tour de la taille) est un peu trop grande pour moi.

Beau produit!

★★★★★Madeleine L.

Mais, le bouton à pression était brisé. Je suis retournée le faire réparer. Pour que la ceinture me lâche, à la première sortie. Faut que je retourne encore une fois pour la faire réparer. . .

★★★★★Rachelle C.

Confortables

Good purchase

★★★★★Virginia M.

These are a good heavy fabric, soft on the inside. They fit perfectly at the waist but I'm not sold on the hook fastener which goes into a fabric loop and can be difficult to do up so I may cut it off. The pants are a bit baggier than in the photo but may change shape after they're washed.

Pantalon coquille souple utilitaire

★★★★★Lucie G.

Quand même satisfaite . plus facile de mettre une sous couche pour sa largeur .

Très beau pantalon

★★★★★Danielle V.

J'ai dû le retourner, car le médium trop grand pour moi, je mesure 5'7, 135lbs. Le tissu est de qualité. Je commenderai probablement un small .
