It's mid-autumn, but if you're a skier or snowboarder, you're probably dreaming of the first big snowstorm of the winter and the fresh powder you'll be shredding this season. But wait, are your winter gear ready to go? When it comes to snow sports clothing, few items are more critical than a good pair of snow pants. Luckily, REI has a great half-off deal on a pair of well-made Burton snow pants right now, and they have a ton of pocket storage.

The Burton Cargo Snow Pants are on sale for $100, a 50% discount off the regular retail price of $200. These roomy, weatherproof pants will keep you warm and dry on the mountain this winter (they're also great for other winter activities like snowmobiling). It's only available in black, but you can also get it in sizes as small as 2XL.

Understand

These snow pants are made of two-layer DryRide waterproof polyester fabric with fully taped seams to protect your legs from snow, slush and moisture. The trousers also feature Burton's Living Lining technology, which features expanding pores to vent excess heat, and Test-I-Cool vents in the crotch that let you vent hot air when you actually get to cooking (when skinning a country trail, for example). There's also plenty of storage space, including a pair of zippered microfleece-lined hand warmer pockets and back pockets, cargo pockets, and a mini hip pocket with a Velcro closure. These snow pants have a regular fit, which gives you plenty of room for layering but keeps them from looking overly baggy, and the articulated knee construction allows your legs to stretch freely so you won't feel restricted when skiing or snowboarding.

REI customers have put these pants to the test in all kinds of winter conditions, and the consensus is clear: They perform great. “They look beautiful and are super functional,” one customer said. “The pockets are phenomenal.” Other shoppers agreed, saying they had “just the right level of warmth” and were “super comfortable.”

“So cozy and warm,” another reviewer said. “It was already used in wet snow and kept me dry. “There is plenty of room in the pockets and it is easy to access.”

A good pair of snow pants is a winter essential, and Burton is a name you can trust for quality snow sports clothing. The brand's Cargo Snow Pants are a standout deal at just $100; many competing pairs sell for several hundred dollars or more. The flakes will be flying soon, so take advantage of this early season sale before they sell out completely.
