i got the sessions achilles pants (maybe achilles 9? is there a difference?) in that bright green color, and they held together for about two weeks. then the seems running up my legs from my boots began to rip open. after that point, any day where there was soft snow, the shell of the snowpants would fill up with snow and my lowed legs would be stuffed with snow. there was no efficient way to get the snow out, so you would just have to let it melt on your feet on long car rides home. so yeah, those pants kinda blew dick when i had them this year. sewing them never helped either. luckily i could return them cause of backcountrys awesome return policy.
