I bought these in black fader also but I love them. Depending on the lighting, it either looks black or purple. In sunlight it looks purple but inside the lodge and in shade it looks black. The purple is a darker subtle purple. I wear jean sizes of 29x30 and XS fits me perfectly. The waist feels like it can even fit a person with 30 waist. the length is perfect for when i'm wearing my snowboard boots but while walking around in my sneakers, they drag a little bit.

These are great pants, except that the color on the black fader do not match the photo. The color is actually more of a gray color with a purple tint. It's actually a little trippy, when not in direct light, the pants are more gray, but when in the light, they are for sure purple. I didn't mind too much, just wished they were more black. Rode with these pants in white out conditions in a lot of powder, I stayed quite dry. These pants run really big, I normally wear smalls and they fit fine, I ordered XSmall because I heard they fit bigger and they are still pretty baggy, I don't mind the look. Great pants, highly recommended.

i got these pants just recently and the day i got them i went up and tested them out. omfg there so dope i never got wet and the adjustable tabs could never go wrong i didnt have to use a belt im about 5"4 105 pounds and i got the XS thinking they were to small but they are just like 4-5 inches smaller than my mediums haha so sick i love them

I ordered the XS and it is way baggier and bigger than many Smalls I've tried on. I think the info page should specify that these are the baggier fit from Special Blend. Otherwise they seem quality.

I got these on whiskeymilitia.com for $88 shipped. the picture doesn't do them justice. THey are the freedom fit which makes them baggy and they are 25k water resistent. my only complaint is that on plastic chair lifts they slide a little make sure you hold on if the lift stops lol

I just tried my pants on and I am stoked! These pants look soooo good and have so many features. The picture makes them look shiny but they are not. I normally wear XL but got the XXL for added comfort, style and ability to layer underneath without feeling stiff. Not to mention these are bomb proof. If you get wet and cold in these then something is wrong. Gore-Tex with 25,000mm waterproofing and fully taped with waterproof zippers. Done Deal! See you up there. Watch for these on Whiskey Militia because I scored an amazing deal. Thanks WM and Backcountry.

Ok so I bought these pants recently (haven't tried them in the snow yet) but they feel very nice, comfy and spacious. However i got the Black Fader and it's actually not as dark as you think it is compared to the online image. You would think (at least I did) that the black fader is like all black and the design is outlined in grey (as displayed on the image) but it's actually sort of a weird purple grey-like color. Luckily I ended up liking the color anyway and was pleased. But only reason for 4 stars is because the image should have a bit more lighting so that people know it has a hint of purple or grey (kind of trippy).

Very comfy riding pants, extremely waterproof yet breath-able. Love the meshed vents. Have used the pants a few times ranging from high 20s to low 40s F in wet conditions and it's been perfect. Color is purplish-gray - sometimes more purple, sometimes more gray depending on lighting. Length is perfect for me (XS - i'm 5'6" with a 28/29 waist) as the legs don't drag on the ground and get stepped on and beat up.

Yea, the black pattern fader pants are definitely purple. Albeit a dark purple, but a purple nonetheless. Just so you all know.

Great price, these pants are legit. They're super comfy, very water resistant, and they breathe. Shipping was free and came in 3 days. They look better in person I think, but hella sick. They are really baggy though, so they're perfect if your into that style. Im about 6 foot, 150 pounds (o the waist is adjustable as well) and they are really baggy. So pretty much everything I was looking for, I recommend them to anyone who can get your hands on a pair.
