Trew Eagle Primo Pant Review - How it Fits and Wears Review by The Good Ride
A Detailed Breakdown of how the Trew Eagle Primo Pant Fits and feels.
How the Trew Eagle Primo Pant Review Happened
Trew sent this for me to review the fit and feel in the studio but, unfortunately, not to ride. I owned an eagle pant years ago, so I got to test it for a season in all kinds of weather.
James’ Pants Specs
Size: Medium
Height: 5’10”
Weight 190 lbs
Waist 32-33
Hips 40”
Inseam 30”
Upper Thigh 23.5”
Middle Thigh 21.5”
Calves 16.5”
Fit
It’s a little on the baggy side of normal, but I love the room for my thicker thighs.
Construction
The Trew Eagle Primo has exceptional construction, and they went for thick and burly vs. thin and ultralight when it comes to most 3-layer jackets. It isn’t soft-shell thick, but it is thick compared to most 3 layer jackets I’ve tried. I personally think that is a good thing.
Waterproofing/Breathability
Gore-Tex is going through a re-design in 2024/2025 to be more environmentally friendly/less toxic. As a result, waterproofing has taken a step back. So, for this coming season, I would say that the Trew Eagle Primo Pant is more waterproof. It’s very windproof, too, and really helps your layer underneath keep you warm.
Pockets
You have three front pockets and no back pockets. I never use back pockets anyway.
Gaiters/Cuffs
The Trew Eagle Primo Pant has burly cuffs and they are meant to work with ski boots as well as snowboard boots.
Venting
I like the thin mesh of the inner and outer vents and it has more breathability than some but still keeps the snow out.
Buttons
You only have one button. I like two, but with a good belt, you will be fine.
Liner
A pretty burly liner inside will do a great job of protecting the membrane underneath for a long time.
Pant-to-Jacket Interface
There isn’t one.
Conclusion
So I liked the old Eagle Pant I owned and still like the current Trew Eagle Primo Pant. It’s very well made and will last a long time.

TREW Eagle Primo Pant Past Reviews
The 2016 TREW Eagle Pant really changed from the 2015 and 2014 models. It’s still got the same look and fit but it has all new material/tech. The material is lighter and thinner which is good but the biggest deal is the breathability went from 20k to 40k which is a pretty massive bump. This is far above Gore-Tex and most high-end tech out there. So if breathability is super important to you then this is best in class for that.

Size Tried: Medium
James’ Specs:
Height: 5’10”,
Weight: 195 lbs,
Waist 33”
Hips 42”
Inseam 30”
Upper Thigh 24.5”
Middle Thigh 22”
Calves 17”
Turn On’s: Size M pants that fit well around my thighs, Riding with Friends, Open Roads, new gear and especially my wife.
Turn Off’s: M Pants that I can’t get up over my thighs, traffic, and people who can’t park inside the lines.
Fit: This felt just a touch tight around my somewhat thick upper thighs but still very wearable.
Construction: Very very well made and after 2 years of wearing it with my careful self and the not so careful Peter the pant is still intact and looking good.
Insulation/Warmth: It’s a shell with no liner but it doesn’t feel like some shell pants and has a little bit of warmth.
Waterproofing: So 20k Waterproofing with 3 layers is pretty solid. It’s a little behind high-end Gore-Tex but still pretty bomb proof.
Breathability: 20k breathability is pretty good and pretty close to Gore-Tex. I felt this pant breathe pretty well but I’ve felt other tech breathe a little better. Still no slouch by any means.
Overall: Yeah the Trew Eagle Pant is more for skiers but what a well made well thought out pant. I’m really amped on the pocket layout and feel its a great choice for someone who skis and snowboards and wants something off the beaten path.

TREW Eagle Primo Pant User Reviews
Trew Eagle pants
I have the Eagle pants in size large and they fit good. These are a great breathable pant with lots of features. I like how the pants dont have a snap on closure for the waist. I have had a few 10 degree days on these and they arent the warmest going up on the lift, thats about the only downside I can find on these. Lots of pockets. These are just a well designed and fabricated product. If they were a little warmer I would give them 5 stars
