Bought these for a Christmas trip up to North Carolina and they were great! As a large person, i was a little worried that these pants were gonna be tight and uncomfortable but i was completely wrong. I�m 5�8 and 260 lbs and the 3X fit me perfectly. They are extremely warm and have wide enough ankles for both my large calfs and ski boots to fit comfortably under. If you are on the fence about getting ski pants because you think you won�t wear/need them, i highly suggest you get these. They were my saving grace in below freezing weather. (im from florida so i am in no way used to the cold)
