Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboo™ Omni-Heat Pants

Pants came on time as expected. I got the XL to support having base layers as I am taking a trip to Colorado. These pants have not been used yet but just trying them on the fit is great at waist. The bottoms are a little bulky for my liking but I guess that is because of the boot. Love the pocket options. I know these pants will do the job.

Run small and slim cut! I ordered these to replace a pair of similar ones that I’ve had for a decade and love, but could hardly get them over my hips. They were super tight in the thighs too. My old pair is a size small and I ordered a medium this time around, so I thought these would be fine, but am going to return and get a size larger.

Comfortable snow pants, appropriate length good quality material. The only downside is that as someone who is 5"4 and 125 lbs with wider hips, the legs are appropriately snug however the waist is huge, even with the velcro adjustments. Not meant for curvy bodies.

The pants look great. High quality and comfortable. By experience, the omni-heat is excellent and I can't wait to try it during cold weather this year. The only issue is, despite I followed the size chart, they run too large (I will have to down one or two sizes). I contacted Columbia support and they were very helpful. I am currently in the process of returning and repurchasing these pants, so I'll be updating this review once I have the new ones.

Love Columbia but it's so hard to compare your products online. These had too much 'stuffing' for my use - need something with just the Omini-heat but not the added insulation. Adding the return cost forces me to go elsewhere for future purchases as it's too expensive to keep trying to find exactly what I need from Columbia online.

I bought these in my usual size, short. They're at least 2 inches too long. The waste is a bit snug, too so be advised. That said, I expect these will be perfect for standing in Arctic cold on a Viking cruise to watch the northern lights in Norway in February.

True to size and warm. Excited to try this out on the slopes soon

I was excited to purchase the Bugaboo Omni Heat Ski Pants and that they came in Short length. However I ordered the ski pants in a small and they are too big. Called to do return and order the panst in xs short and there are none available in Short. I can only hope there will be a restock so I can purchase them.

I purchased these pants because I have another pair of Columbia pants that I've used for skiing for the last 8 years and have loved them. I have a North Face pair of ski pants, too, but they are also too long. Last year I actually had an issue where my ski pants clipped into my bindings on accident, and my ski popped off unexpectedly while riding (super dangerous!). Enter this year where I really wanted a new pair of ski pants that actually fit my 5'2" frame. I ski faster and more technically than when I started, and cannot risk the same experience of accidental ski loss. These were very similar to my previous Columbia pants, so I trusted I would love them! The fit is good, and the Velcro by the front snaps ensure that these will not pop open when leaning forward ver far. The snaps near the ankle made it easy to clip and adjust my ski boots as needed. I love that these are an improvement from my previous pants in that they have back pockets. I don't utilize my back pockets while skiing, of course, but if I use these pants in hiking in snow, it will be very useful. I really do wish that there was a side pocket, though. The front pockets are rather roomy. As far as fit, I am currently 160 pounds and wear most of my weight in my midsection, with athletic legs. There was plenty of movement in legs available! These fit similarly to my previous pair, which I was able to wear at 145 lbs as well due to the Velcro straps on the inner waist. I love that they manage to fit a solid weight range, as I tend to fluctuate to some degree depending on current diet/recovery from injury, etc. As far as warmth goes, they were perfect! I wore them in 30F blue bird weather with a simple Patagonia Capilene layer and was not too hot. I also wore them for several hours skiing when the wind chill was -5 with gusts up to 40 mph with only a pair of Old Navy fleece lined leggings underneath, and they performed well for this weather as well! There are no gussets, but I tend to be colder than warmer, so this doesn't affect me. Perfect waterproofing to keep the snow and wet out! Overall, an affordable and reliable pair of ski pants that I look forward to enjoying for many years!

I've never had snowpants before so I'm not sure what to expect but these seem alright. I tried on a different pair in store. I tried on a M and L. The size chart says I'm a M. (I'm 5'7 140 lbs, hips 37 I think.) The other reviews are all over the place so I wasn't sure. I ended up getting a M. I almost thought I got a S. They fit right but it's a little wierd. They're kind of high waisted but I'm not sure it's supposed to be. The waist isn't snug or too tight. I have room and can bend and move but the only look right if they're higher. There's too much crotch area where it feels saggy. I think I'm right on the cusp of it being too small. What people said about the legs not matching the waist is kind of true. Putting them on I almost had to squeeze into them like jeans. But once on its fine. Space and room in the hips and legs. Not too short, not too long. Not restricted or bulky. They feel really good and are nice and warm. I would say you could get away without a baselayer on warmer days. The leg pocket seems useful and the leg gussets are ok. I need to try them out with boots because it doesn't cinch down so I can see snow getting in. The pants definitely need to be tested out. They seem functional and are nice and comfortable but I'm not 100% sure.

Product looks nice and warm but fit was off. The small was too tight in the thighs and the medium was too baggy in the thighs. The waist has Velcro adjustments if only legs had fit better. The fit/style didn't seem very flattering although the material does seem warm which is what I badly needed. Grey color was a medium grey shade.

I love these pants, but being around fires a lot in the upper peninsula is a normal thing. I was 5 feet away and they melted. I had no idea until someone said something . I love these pants so I am patching them, but I need something else to wear when I'm snowboarding and want to stand by a fire or go ice fishing .

Nice snow pants!! I ordered in Large but they were too big for me so I decided to order them in Medium and these were a little small since I have big hips!!

Great Ski Pants. I got the short size which is a smidge too long for me but this only matters when i'm not in my ski boots. 5'1" for reference, where if im wearing normal shoes, the bottom drags a smidge on the ground. They have 2 front pockets (with zippers) and 2 back pockets, and a leg vent which is nice. They also have velcros on the inside in case if the pants a too big for you so you can adjust it. I'm usually a xs in pants size but I ordered a S so I have room for leggings underneath but I don't think that was necessary - pants are pretty true to your normal size. They're pretty warm too. So far been in 30 degree weathers and didn't feel cold with this pants and a fleece legging.

Great fit. True to size. Comfortable waistband. Warm and waterproof. Easy to get on and off.

There is a big difference between the medium and large. I am a 8/10 and the large pants were so huge on me I had to return them. I have an old Pair of mediums that are snug (COVID) so wanted to be more comfortable this ski season, but sadly the large didn't work. Guess it's diet time lol

They seem warm and well made but if you are an hour glass figure then these are too tight in the upper thighs. Sadly, they have to be returned. For reference I am a size 6.

Love the style of the pant (has straight leg) but is not true to size. I am a size 10 and I ordered a size 12/14 (large) and these are more like an 8/10. They are tighter on the thighs and hips, which I wouldn't mind but there is definitely no stretch to this fabric. I think I will exchange these for a bigger size, but I could see those being way too big. The fabric is stiffer, seems to be more durable than the Canyon pants. Love the length bc I'm tall. Has tons of pockets also.

I love the color of these pants - they match my jacket perfectly. They run SMALL! I do not like that they are not high rise. I was shocked.

These ski pants are made incredibly well and have great features. But they have a low waist. Perhaps because of my age (>60) I'm not comfortable with a low waist. But with all the movement needed for skiing (and maybe a few falls), I prefer better coverage.

Good quality. Very warm. Ordered way too big on size.

The pants are not suitable for thin persons. They are just too bulky.

Loved the color, and I know they would have worked on the slopes because my legs felt warm as soon as I put them on. Sadly, this is as far as I can raise my leg before I'm restricted. I've had such a hard time finding snow pants that give me good mobility/range of motion, as I'm 5'2", 170ish lbs with thicker legs. I use L in pants and ordered an XL. I'll be returning them.

Too big. Reviews said to size up. You shouldn't. Way too big.

Beautiful color and they match the coat so perfectly but the waist runs small. Sizing up would make the legs too loose. We sized up one form her normal size.
