I originally bought a pair of Icebreaker base layer pants; they felt thing/cheap and they ripped after only a few wears/washes, BUT NOT THESE HELLY-HANSEN ONES. I swear these are the best pair of base layer pants (I wear them for snowboarding and cold hikes) and I will be buying another pair.
For starters, they don't 'squeeze' your hips because it has a thick/durable waste band (ladies, you know what I mean, skinny waste bands are trash for women because they squeeze our hips and don't look/feel flattering). The pants overall are thick/great quality (not thin like they might rip). I can't recommend them enough. Just buy them, seriously.
The only 'con' one might say is I did feel that they "stretched out" slightly throughout the day. Once I washed them they went back to their original size/feel. They were not falling off me by any means, just slightly looser.

Product Description
LIFA MERINO MIDWEIGHT
Our traditional medium 225 gram LIFA Merino fabric suitable for medium and high intensity activities where extra warmth is needed.
LIFA MERINO base layers are for extra warmth on cold days. With a unique 2-in-1 construction, you get the best of two worlds. The synthetic LIFA Stay Warm Technology interior pushes moisture away from skin while maintaining an itch free hand feel. The 100% Merino Wool exterior generates extra warmth while wicking the moisture.
WHAT IS LIFA?
In 1970, Helly Hansen’s LIFA revolutionized the industry with the introduction of the first technical base layers. The fabric is based on a yarn technology that moves moisture away from the skin and transports it to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates, leaving the wearer warm, dry and comfortable.

HH for the win for snow sports
I’m 5’3, 117lbs with an athletic build. I ordered an x-small and they fit perfectly. I use these under a snow bib for a shred sesh🏂 I love these because even on cold blizzarding days i stay warm and bluebird days they breathe well to maintain my temp. If i am drenched in sweat they are decently moisture wicking and dry fast while wearing. I’ve been using HH for two seasons now, previously used smart wools. I’ve found the HH products maintain my body temp better than smart wools. I recently ordered a spare set and the pants came damaged, however i was able to return and replace the product within a week. Highly recommend for snow sports!
