The Thors did seem a little less water resistant than the Shift's though. The thors also had better pockets in them.

Next pair I get I am going to try and get a pair that has side leg zippers to help aid with putting the boots and knee guards on.

I normally wear a between a 32 and 34 (I usually try for a 33) in jeans. I had a 34 in both pairs and wouldn't have wanted them any tighter.

Rocky mountain has some good deals, and you can usually find good deals on Ebay for pants as well.
They also call over the boot pants- Freeride or Freestyle pants.
2k1w=no$ Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. Its cold down here in Florida sometimes so I was looking at some pants that are at least as warm as jeans. It got down to 24 last night.

I have the Thor Ride pants and really like them but the zipper broke off of the pant leg opening. I think that my next pair will be some Klim Dakars or the Mojaves! I have heard that the Klim stuff is really nice!!
