Strengths:
I like Innerskon, the lacing system is smooth.
Weaknesses:
The locking system for adjustment between downhill and gauge mode is totally wrongly constructed. It broke down and ended up in constant gaze after 3 days of calm ride (no jump or so). I received a new spare part on warranty. The spare part was easy to change, but it also broke down after a few days of rides. The problem was that I was in the alps. It would have been a giant pumpkin during the night and he went two rides before the pussy broke down. You get pretty crazy about spending the best skiing days of the year searching for spare parts, instead of skiing. I did not find any spare parts there, so it ended up having to buy a pair of pants, (other brand). At home, I tried to advertise the Black Diamond pants, but they do not agree to take back my pants, but I get a new spare as they break. It makes me so pissed off.
Summary:
Avoid Black Diamond boots until they settle on the locking system.

Strengths:
After a winter (and a half summer) with my pants I'm very pleased!
Walking mode works great (nice to have in lift queue too)!
Very good helper.
Weaknesses:
Perhaps something heavy to go with the longest tours, but on the other hand, you get a cruel joke on the way down!
130 flex (as it claims to be) is a lie! 90 might be more realistic. (which is not just a disadvantage ...)
Not the same "roll" in the AT-sole like many other rando pants, but much more comfortable to wear than one on slalom pants.
expensive
The AT soles are not included
Summary:
Given that there is hardly any better pants for top skiing with BREDA skis (during the season 08/09 ivf), it gets the highest score.

Strengths:
- Dive the pants with the Alpine jacket's all options.
- Set and intact, it works like a racing pants when you close it and go off performs.
- Boa lining of Innerskon provides tightening and comfort in world class and makes the boot comfortable even during long climbs.
- Possibility to choose between Alpine or AT soles, and it is relatively easy to switch between them.
- Comfortable and warm
Weaknesses:
- The weight. 2.2 kg with AT sole.
- in the "walking mode", the shaft shift is at the back of the smallest layer. It shortens the ladder length which prevents really fast runs.
- That soles are not included, so you go on a 500ing.
Summary:
One of the best-selling "cross over" pants on the market. Although the most belongs in the lift-close top ride, it's comfortable and flexible enough to work well even for one week's completely lifeless rendonnez. The skepticism against the attachment of the interchangeable sole has not been infused. The pants are high in the detail work and have not shown any weak points so far.
