Conquer the Slopes: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Backcountry Ski Pants

We know the allure of the untouched snow, the whisper of powder, and the exhilarating freedom of the backcountry like the back of our hands. Venturing into the great white beyond on skis or splitboards requires courage, skill, and gear as tough and ready as you are. The cornerstone of your wardrobe? Ski, Snowshoe and Splitboard pants that can handle every carve and every drop. Let's dive into what makes for the ultimate pair of backcountry pants, ensuring you remain protected, comfortable, and undaunted, no matter where you go.

Water-Resistance: Your Shield Against the Elements

Staying dry is non-negotiable when slicing through fresh powder or navigating a tricky descent. High-end ski pants come with advanced water-resistance technologies, like our own 3sp® fabric, which offers unparalleled single layer protection while maintaining breathability..

Breathability: Venturing Further Without Overheating

The journey uphill can get intense. That's why breathability is as critical as waterproofing. Our 3sp® fabric is designed for those who push limits, allowing air to circulate and moisture to escape. You’ll stay comfortable and and dry from the inside out, even when the climb gets tough.

Durability: Tailored for the Unknown

The backcountry is unforgiving, and your gear needs to withstand everything from stray branches to rough tumbles. We engineer our ski pants from tough fibers that can take a beating while keeping you safe and sound. Quality construction in places like cuffs and knees are a must, guarding against wear and tear and ensuring your pants are as ready for adventure as you are.

Fit and Comfort: Your Second Skin

In the backcountry, your focus should be on the terrain rather than adjusting your gear. Our ski pants' ergonomic design and adjustable features mean they move with you, offering the perfect balance of comfort and support. Look for pants with articulated knees and adjustable waistbands to ensure a snug fit that feels just right, mile after snowy mile.

Versatility: Ready for Anything

The weather in the mountains changes in the blink of an eye. Ventilation, zippers and over the boot features allow you to adapt on the fly, ensuring preparation for anything Mother Nature throws your way. Pockets in the right places mean your essentials are always within reach because, in the backcountry, every detail counts.
