How Deep Are Your Pockets?

[crgildart]

My pockets are so big I can fit my skis and boots in them. That way I don't have to check them when flying..

because no one wants to ski with a whole bunch of bulky / heavy items - well, extra items - in his or her pants.

It's future proof. In next to no time you'll need power banks for gloves, socks, boots, CARV sensor, ski locator chip, camera ...

I will also point out the homebrew replaceable impact pad option.

I hear this all the time, and complain about it myself. However, I'm really not sure how manufacturers would execute reasonable women's pockets. In order to have reasonable pockets, pants need to be baggy enough to accommodate the items being held in said pockets. How many women are willing to give up a slim figure for usable pockets? Personally, I am...but I also wear men's pants, or women's pants a size too big (so I can put things in my pockets...haha).

Yup. One of my favorite pair of pants is Kuhl's Mens Renegade Rock. They are tapered, I get compliments in them, and they have so many pockets!!!

I don't need super baggy, but at the bare minimum I think one's hands should fit past the the knuckles in the front pockets.

You are lucky to have a body that doesn't have the front pocket car seat/lift chair folding problem.

Other women do. Seen it, listened to the cursing, watched them unload *everything* onto the dash/console/map pocket before buckling seatbelts.

Massively annoying, even second-hand.

All you need are shoulder straps and you’ve got the ultimate Camel backpack.

Can't ride lifts with those - so thigh pocket and perfect operating temperature it is

On a more serious note, I’m a less is more on board person at least on piste . Total pocket diet. The biggest thing I carry ( sometimes) is an 8oz water flask. One key, minimal wallet, phone ,map if I need it .

That's about right.

I need the other pockets empty so I can manage significant others' items
Cat Tracks/ski straps/spare hood/gaiters/ ski patrol benefit T-shirts

I like to have many pockets on both my bibs and jacket. I do not carry anything in them, especially the pants but I like the feel of warm comfort knowing they are there. In case I need them. Which I never do. But it is good to know I have options.

Cargo pockets with bellows FTW.

I do have some men's jackets for the pockets, but I'm long and a small usually fits me ok. Would be tough for shorter gals.

I need fewer and smaller pockets because I carry too much stuff.

I hate having stuff in my pants pockets; maybe a trail map? I don't even put my phone or wallet in my pants pockets. I feel like anything "extra" in my pants pockets would interfere with my range-of-motion or just feel awkward in some fashion.

I'm curious now as to how voluminous my ski pant pockets are.

Exactly!
Anyone here ever seen Odermatt carrying something in his pants pockets while crushing gates? Nope. Mikaela? Hell no! That boyfriend of hers? Not a chance.

There you go then.

Yes! I did have a pair of North Face pants with bellows once...I do recall them being pretty amazing.

Cargo pockets with bellows FTW.

But to Tuna's point, Fellow's pockets with cargo might be even more convenient.

I know guys who can play a whole season of hockey with a dozen eggs in their pants and none get broken....

Like Justin Holl for instance...

I keep hearing some Yankovician version of the BeeGees' "How Deep Is Your Love" in my head with this thread.
