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.

I bought a MEDIUM and I kept it because it came just in time for skiing BUT I prefer the SMALL: I'm 5.2, 119 lbs, hips 37 and waist 29. Hope this is helpful! Great for all those falls and even snow angels!

Hi George - Oh the days when I had a 30 inch waist! I agree with the other posters here. I'd opt for small. I will also say that I've wear my pants at least three or four days a week. I've hiked in them, done yoga in them and they are really resilient. I have a small ember burn on one leg, but outsaide of that they are fairly indestructible.

I am about a size 8 petite and ordered a medium. Way too big for me. If you lie them flat, they measure abaout 17" across the waist from side seam to zipper. The waist is high. The crotch is quite low - as if they are better suited for men. I would maybe say a large.

I have not worn them in lower than 40F. Between 50 an 60F, the pants are great! between 40 and 50F, it depends on how long I'm outside in them for, the longer I'm outside in them (more than 2 hrs), the longer I need to thaw out when I get home. Now, to put things in perspective, I live in NC where it does not get super cold like the Midwest, so the slightest cold bothers me. Hope this has helped.

Sorry, got really busy. I just weighed the pants and they came out to 308 grams or 10.86 oz. So both the listed weight and description weight are off. Maybe it's a generic weight for a smaller size?

Umm, can't answer 100% as I purchased for my g/son for my daughter. He loves them..I do remember that the snow did not ride up his pants as they are cuffed elastic inside at the ankle. Then top layer goes to top of boots. An excellent purchase, excellent quality..hope that helped..

The silver ridge had some room in the thighs. They were my favorites in terms of comfort. For style I prefer the saturday stretch convertible pants, but those are tight around the zipper. It's not bad when walking, but gets uncomfortable when sitting.

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

I just measured mine. The stretch is almost 4 inches in total circumference. Now that is starting out completely slack, and going to complete stretch, so keep that in mind. My 34s are about 33 when slack, and 36 1/2 when stretched. Logically the 30 would have less stretch. As far as the pocket goes, I love them. Both sides are the same depth and they go down to the top of the cargo pocket. Any lower and there would be interference issues. There is a reason that these pants are so well loved. If they offered them in an 11 inch inseam, I'd own a ton of them. At 6'2" the inseam is too short and my wife hates the way they look. I still love them for their comfort and versatility, so I wear them when she's not around. I just measured mine. The stretch is almost 4 inches in total circumference.

I'm 5'2 and it comes to my waist. They are standard size. Don't doubt the buy. They are all that and more!

I own about 6 pairs of these. I am 5'9", and about 158-160 with a 31-32 inch waist. The Medium regular fits great. Almost all of my pants/Jeans are 32x32. If you gain a bit of weight, the expanding waist will give you an extra inch or two as well.

Probably defect... My husband wears a 32 waist in jeans, and he's had two pairs of these pants in a 32 waist that both fit the same... Just a bit roomier than a 32 jean. (He tried to go down to a 30, but that was much too snug.)

They probably wouldn't be too warm, but I would personally choose lighter pants if it was that warm (I live in Michigan - 50 degrees feels warm outside to me!). I wear these sweatpants outside to jog or walk when it's 30-40 degrees, but my body temp heats up by jogging. After you wash these a few times, they sort of lose a tiny bit of the fuzz inside, but I still love them. If it's 30 degrees or colder, I'll wear these + some running tights underneath. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question! If it's 50-60 degrees outside and I wear these pants, I'd probably wear a short sleeve shirt as long as it's sunny.

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.

There is a drawstring to adjust to fit your waist. I've been wearing for the past 2 years, and I have never had a problem with them falling down or not fitting well.

If I'm measuring correctly, I coming up with a rise of about 10 inches. For me, the top of the waist come a fraction of an inch below my belly button.
