Trimmer/tapered fit Goretex hardshell pants

I have a pair of Arcteryx Beta AR pants for wet ice climbing. They are a great pair of pants, but they feel baggy/loose from the knee down. They fit over my nepal cubes very easily. I can cinch the cuff but it still bunches up elsewhere. Feels like I could fit a pair of downpants underneath without compressing the down...

 I assume the Beta are baggier to accommodate skiers/snowboarders as well as climbers. Does anyone have a recommendation for a trimmer/tapered goretex shell pant specific to climbing? Full length side zip preferred!

Thanks

If you're willing to sacrifice ultimate waterproofness, a good tailor ought to be able to taper your pants.

I have 3 layer gtex pants that were made for cycling that work great for ice. MEC is a good place to look.

I have some mammut nordwand hs pants that are really nice. Check them out.
