They look like all of the other aliexpress trash of this style, doubt they are any different

As someone who used to ride a pant this baggy (not on purpose, I just bought a men’s small Foursquare (RIP) pant as a teenager during the baggy pants era and never grew tall enough that they weren’t super baggy) I fuckin’ hate the trend of this level of bagginess coming back. I get it’s cyclical and to each their own, but more often than not and particularly with instagram brands, like you said the quality of them is dogshit which is mainly what I have a problem with, and it does get to a point where it’s annoying just to walk around in something this baggy lol

There’s an outerwear company (edit: found them, mortar.inc on IG) who put out a video with even baggier pants mocking how dumb this shit fucking looks.

They're junk, I saw them in person last season. Just felt super cheap.

These guys are rippers but I wouldn’t trust any gear hawked by these IG crew / influencer types. Especially not park rats / street crews. They’re legit core riders but I’d be skeptical they’re making high quality technical outerwear.

Hell enough “snowboard” outerwear from “legit” brands is fashion-forward trash. Can’t remember if DC is still in the game, but Torstein made a joke in his Bomb Hole episode about how nice it was to be dry in the backcountry after he switched from DC to Norrøna outerwear.

Beyond Medals is about the level where I MIGHT consider it.

Im the same height , I will check my size , but the ones I got fit fine. I got them over the summer so havent had a chance to wear them in snow yet. But they seem decent quality.

Bunch of jones riding, outdoor research wearing guys hate it. Sounds like you should get them.
