The Peak Performance Switch Pants don’t actually care whether you ride switch or not; they’re just happy that you ditched work and went skiing instead.

  • Looser fit provides ample room for jumps and spicy acrobatics
  • 80g ThermoLite low-loft insulation traps in warmth on cool days but won’t cause you to overheat when the sun is cranking
  • Articulated knees mimic the normal anatomical shape of your legs, allow for a more comfortable fit, and provide greater freedom of movement as compared to a standard, straight design
  • Reinforced cuffs protect the pants from sharp ski edges and crampons
  • Inseam vents allow you to shed excess heat when you’re hiking up to the ridgeline
  • Peak Performance recommends pairing this pant with the Peak Performance Switch Jacket
  • Backcountry.com is the exclusive US retailer for Peak Performance products

Bottom Line: Life is full of options.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Pretty Much the Best Pant I have Owned

I was looking for some new ski pants to replace my Orage Benji pants for the season and am happy to have found the Switch Pant by Peak Performance. I have been wearing this pant for about three weeks now and have only positive comments. The fit on this pant is outstanding. I am approximately 5'10 135 lbs and went with the medium size. There is ample size in the waist for me and appreciate the external side waist adjust tabs. The key for me here was the length. The bottom hem of the pant hits the top of my boot perfectly. I have always found similar pants to run too long for me. The kick patch is fantastic as it is more minimal than a traditional alpine pant, but still provides great edge protection. The 80g insulation package is nice and comfortable. If you get too warm the mesh backed inner leg vents are massive and very effective at dumping heat. I went with the dark ocean color, it is a rich navy blue, and is a great alternative to black. Articulated knees, a variety of pockets, and great weather protection round out the Switch, and will make it the go to in my closet for sure. Peak Performance really does make a tremendous product, check them out for yourself.
