Review on Winter Essential: Women's Waterproof Fleece Lined Snow Hiking Pants with Zipper Pockets by Dan Sturm

I would like to give five stars, but the size doesn't fit. I bought XL (size 36) and it's too tight. I'm a little curvy and I'm a size 14. The pants fitted but were very tight in the hips and bottom. I have read and followed the recommended inches in the size chart; Actually, according to the size chart, my hips are smaller than XL (size 36), but they are narrow. How can you ski (or run) when you have nowhere to lean? I feel like my butt pops and the seams rip when I go up the ski lift. If you are a size 14 (including butt) choose size 38. As for style, these are lightweight winter pants. They have a slightly form-fitting fit around the buttocks and thighs and a lower fit, particularly around the buttocks. High quality material and cut, light and warm lining. They don't have the "garbage bag" sound that other ski pants make when you walk in them. Folks, I hope this review was helpful. :)
