These snow pants are made with a 2L, DWR-coated, waterproof, breathable shell that blocks snow and ice while wicking body heat and sweat vapor so you don't overheat. It also has zippered mesh vents on the sides, so you can vent excess hot air when you need it. The smooth inner lining allows these trousers to slide easily over long underwear or base pants, and they are designed with an articulated structure for a snug fit. And good range of motion. The adjustable waistband has two snaps to help you get a snug fit (the pants also have belt loops so you can add a belt for extra security). On the bottom, built-in gaiters at the cuffs wrap tightly around your boots to prevent snow from getting inside. It also offers useful storage, including two zippered hand warmer pockets and two zippered thigh pockets.
REI customers love these pants because they're durable, waterproof, and warm. “Bombproof pants,” said one customer. “I think these are great everyday ski pants… I recommend them for basically any weather.” Another shopper agrees, saying, “These are some of the warmest, most comfortable ski pants I've ever worn… The waist system is super comfortable and secure enough to keep the pants perfectly in place during tough runs.”
