Quest MotionFit Pant - Men's

A full-on suit of armor is a pretty rad thing to have, but it tends to get rusty when you take it into the snow, and it's super tough to ride switch when you can't see out the back of your helmet (or turn your head more than an inch, for that matter). Salomon's Quest MotionFit Men's Pant gives you all the weather protection of your knight-worthy getup, but with a flexible AdvancedSkin Dry 20K waterproof and breathable membrane and nylon and elastane shell instead of all the heavy-duty metal. It'll keep you dry and comfortable in the harshest storms, with fully taped seams, a removable bib, and ankle gaiters to keep snow outside where it belongs and removable suspenders to keep your pants from falling down while you're lining up a serious cliff.

As importantly, the Quest makes movement way easier than a bulky metal suit. Salomon designed it using MotionFit, an ergonomic design that provides extra fabric where you need it, and ensured that the knees were articulated for easy hiking as well as skiing. If you get hot, pop open the leg vents and catch a cool breeze, but don't worry about stomping on your cuffs, because they've been reinforced to prevent edge cuts and fraying. Good luck finding a suit of armor that does all that.
