Haglofs

Couloir IV Q Pant - Women's

Sweden's Haglöfs has been making killer gear for over 100 years, but the Couloir IV Q Women's Pant might be the most useful piece it's made yet. A stretchy, breathable, and waterproof softshell that's as perfect for days on the skintrack as it is for ripping the resort, the Couloir uses a three-layer Gore-Tex membrane and a water-resistant DWR coating to block water without trapping sweat and condensation against your legs. Side zips offer up some extra ventilation if it's a warm day or you're really working hard, and the removable suspenders keep your pants from falling down when you're bootpacking up a steep chute or center punching the same line on your way down.

Softshell fabric is naturally slightly stretchy, but Haglöfs hooked the Couloir up with extra stretch panels on the articulated knees, butt, and back thighs to make kick turning, bootpacking, and aggressive ripping just a little bit easier. Schoeller Keprotec kick patches on the cuffs prevent you from trampling all over and wearing out the hems, and stretchy ankle gaiters keep snow from sneaking into your boots and sogging up your socks, letting you ride from sunup 'til sundown in serious comfort.
