I personally don't like burton pants, just because of the way they're cut. Awesome pants, but maybe just don't fit me right. I think burton pants are made for people with extremely large asses. It's like I can fit a basketball in the back of the pants.
Quiksilver has some really awesome pants this year. And the most durable pants I've ever owned have been DNA. DNA is kinda expensive though, along with orage. I'd personally stay away from siver cartel. pants really aren't durable and have 5,000 mm of waterproofing. The Siver Pivotal pants are like $140, while you could get the Quiksilver Johnson pants with double the waterproofing and some fleece in the butt and knees, for $130. I hate to put down ski clothing companies, but siver needs to pick it up. Stuff looks good, but most skiers want something functional that will do more than pick up chicks in the lodge. I don't mean to talk up quiksilver too much, because there are tons of other companies with good stuff, but they do have some sick shit this year.
