What I enjoy most about these black pants is the way they fit. Earlier this season Beyondski.com co-owner Charles Biggers and yours truly went pant shopping to upgrade our ski school’s uniforms. In regard to the perfect fit, these Spyders would have been our number one choice, especially thanks to the awesome waist adjustment possibilities and the articulated knee construction. (We ended up choosing another model on which the black perfectly matched our uniform jackets.) The Tarantulas are warm and breathable and you have lots of pockets at your disposal, which comes in especially handy when you want to leave your coat behind on one of those nice warm spring skiing days.
