tamok Gore-Tex Pants

The tamok Gore-Tex Pants are primarily designed for **freeriding**, with multiple reviewers praising their performance in this activity. They offer a baggy fit around the thighs and chinos, which snowboarders and skiers appreciate for mobility. The pants feature practical elements like side ventilation zippers with a protective layer to prevent snow entry and "brick" pockets. While the overall material quality is generally considered high, with a comfortable feel and stylish look, the durability has been questioned. One reviewer experienced a tear after a snowboarding session, attributing it to keys in the pocket. Another significant concern is the fit, particularly around the waist. It's described as running small, and the lack of a compatible zip-in bib is a drawback for some, leading to issues with the pants falling down while skiing. Additionally, the light yellow/gold color is prone to staining.\n\n**Pros:**\n\n* Excellent for freeriding\n* Baggy fit in thighs/chinos for mobility\n* Side ventilation zippers with snow protection\n* Stylish design and comfortable material\n\n**Cons:**\n\n* Durability concerns\n* Small waist sizing\n* No compatible zip-in bib\n* Light colors stain easily\n\n**Recommendation:**\n\nThese pants are recommended for freeriders who prioritize mobility and style and are willing to size up. However, those concerned about durability, especially in the context of potential contact with sharp objects, or who prefer a more secure fit with a bib, should consider other options. The staining issue also makes them less suitable for consistently wet conditions.\n
