Pants inside of bindings, or over the back?

Even with my age and experience, I don't know the answer here so I thought I'd post this idiotic question.

I'm perplexed...A friend of mine swears he has less issues with binding strap slippage/loosening when he straps in and pulls the back of his pants over top of the back of the binding so there is no pant fabric between boot and binding. His claim is that it provides a tighter fit with the boot when you minimize the fabric of pants sandwiched between the boot and binding, and thus makes it easier to keep things tight without having to do lots of readjusting, especially on the front font that stays put all day.

Being a dynamic and aggressive rider, I always have to adjust both feet after steep/fast or technical runs requiring lots of flexion and extension since my size puts alot of stresses on the equipment.

I have always just stepped into the binding with the pants bottom in between the binding back and never thought this could have something to do with all the tightening adjustments I make after runs.

Does anyone consciously think that pulling down the pant leg overtop of the binding back helps things stay tighter?

Can't test this out until snow hits the PNW this winter but I never knew there might be a real benefit...Always thought it was a fashion thing.

Exactly, I totally don't understand why everyone wants these super long pants?:dunno:

I can't stand it when my pants get caught in my bindings, it's constantly pulling down your pants.

This will be my 24th or 25th year riding, can't remember. I've come to the conclusion, I like floods.
I had a pair of army snow pants a few years ago & without snowboard boots on they looked fuckin' hilarious, but with boots on they covered about 2-3 inches of the top of my boot. They were the best pants ever, but it's super hard to find a pair of short pants that don't have a 25 inch waist.

The only company that I've seen that makes pants like that is Spyder, I think because they might be for skiers?

So you have now stated twice in one thread that your an idiot, nothing left to say.
I think the true idiots of this world don't know the difference between when to use "your" and "you're" in their everyday conversations.

Let me help you with this difficult subject:

The proactiv might cure YOUR acne so that some day YOU'RE able to actually land the chicks in YOUR avy instead of drooling and wanking it to their pictures you clearly stole from the internet.

Put down the mountain dew and cheetos, stop playing XBOX, lay off the hot pockets and you might have a chance, kid.
