Special Blend Annex Snowboard Pants

This product is better than 4 stars - but they're not 5 stars based on the way the colours are depicted.

But let's start with the pant design - Awesome. I still rock last year's Annex, and I love this year's even more. Baggy, comfortable, loads of pockets for your stash, warm, innovative features that show that someone has thought about the design...etc. The material is lighter-weight than last year and they seem more resistant to rips and fraying.

The only reason I don't give this product 5 stars is because of the way the colour is represented on the website. It's the same on the SB website and you need to be careful. All of the colours are a lot brighter than shown. In my case, it meant that I had to up my game in order to get away with rocking Topiary green. Not a big issue, just be aware.

I'll start off by saying, I didn't return the pants because of the quality, I returned them because the salesmen said the Memento color was a dark Navy Blue; it was almost pastel color, like a Cadet Blue. Anyway, they were built great, the fabric felt soft and sturdy, nice pockets, a little on the very baggy side but a loose fit. They have a draw string in the pockets that lifts the heels of the pant so you don't drag them on the ground ... pure genius. How many ripped pants and rolls of duct tape did it take until someone finally thought of that?

First off, I shall discuss the look of the pants. I get constant praise for these bad boys. I have the purple colour and I wear them with a lime green jacket. I am 6'2" and wear a size XL so they are pretty baggy. Usually this would cause you to tred on the bottoms, not with the Steeze Button �� (Me) There is a drawstring in each pocket that pulls up the bottom. Excellent. As far as the waterproofing and breathability, I cannot complain. I have had them in all conditions except backcountry and they have been the nuts. Buy now.

These are the greatest snowboarding pants I've ever worn, i wore them once and fell in love. I boarded all day in them took them off and they were dry like i never put them on. I was warm all day and when it got warmer i just opened the vents, and there's a grip of pockets so you can store everything you need and then some. Oh and the gaiter works great to keep snow from going into my chones, which is a huge plus. I highly recommend these to anyone going in the snow.

Just got these in Oh Snap! Great fit. If you are short then they will def be supper baggy. I am 6'2" and they still go over my boot heal. The color is def lighter than the photo. I was hoping for the darker, but they still look sick. Pockets are velcro not the buttons (last years model had em). This change makes it easier to get in and out of em. Haven't riden with em yet, but they seem like they are going to be the best pants I've had.

These pants are sick. Really nice style, and the colour is vivid! There are more pockets than you can wave a stick at, and on the inside of the front pockets are slider strings which you can pull to raise the bottom of the pant up to prevent you shredding them when walking about town, cos these things are baggy as. Waterproof wise, they are good, but on long powder days you will feel a bit, moist, ahem. Really nice pants for the price! A*

I've gone through 2 seasons with these pants and still love them to death. They hold up really well, look great, have tons of pockets, and are surprisingly warm for lacking insulation. On a note about warmth, I've worn these in sub-zero degree weather with tons of wind and I never once think about my legs getting cold. The waterproofing is excellent! You could probably pour water on these and it would just roll right off.

These are all aroud great pants. They're pretty wear but have tons of vents all over if you get home. the pockets are endless so you'll have a place to store everything. I highly reccomend them to shred some major powder on a board. the powder waist strap that zips out is also very helpful. Buy them!

these pants were exactly what I wanted. They fit huge and are good quality. tons of pockets and warm for only being a shell. I wear these on a regular basis with only basketball shorts under them in all weather. definitely recommend them to anyone looking for some quality baggy pants.

yo when i got the pants i knew there were going to be a lot of zippers, but what the F%&*!!!! some are too small to even hold anything worth while like a piece of glass. other features though are sick...pull up string and the pow skirt are awesome.
